Shortly thereafter, on March 27, 1754, he made an escape attempt, convinced to take flight by an Irish indentured servant named Heddy and two other people enslaved by Mumford. During their escape, at Montauk Point, Long Island, Heddy reveals his true intentions and attempts to steal their supplies and all their belongings.
