As more troops were evacuated, more troops were ordered to withdraw from the lines and march to the ferry landing. Wagon wheels were muffled, and men were forbidden to talk.<ref name="m188" /> Mifflin's rear guard was tending campfires to deceive the British and convince them that nothing was going on. At 4:00 am, on August 30, Mifflin was informed that it was his unit's turn to evacuate.<ref name="m189">{{Harvnb|McCullough|2006|p=189}}.</ref> Mifflin told the man who had been sent to order him to leave, Major [[Alexander Scammell]], that he must be mistaken, but Scammell insisted that he was not and Mifflin ordered his troops to move out. When Mifflin's troops were within a half mile of the ferry landing Washington rode up and demanded to know why they were not at their defenses. [[Edward Hand]], who was leading the troops, tried to explain what had happened, but Mifflin arrived shortly.<ref name="m190">{{Harvnb|McCullough|2006|p=190}}.</ref> Washington exclaimed "Good God! General Mifflin, I am afraid you have ruined us!" Mifflin explained that he had been told that it was his turn to evacuate by Scammell; Washington told him it had been a mistake. Mifflin then led his troops back to the outer defenses.<ref name="m190" />

Artillery, supplies, and troops were all being evacuated across the river at this time but it was not going as fast as Washington had anticipated and daybreak soon came.<ref name="m190" /> A fog settled in and concealed the evacuation from the British.
