Clinton gave the silver ball to Daniel Taylor, a young officer, promising that Taylor would be promoted if he got the message to Burgoyne. If he were captured, he was to swallow the ball. Because it was made of silver, it could not harm him.
Taylor had not gone far before several soldiers in red uniforms stopped him. Believing he was in friendly hands, he said he had a message from "General Clinton." But what he didn't know was that the smiling soldiers were Americans, wearing uniforms swiped from a British ship. They took Taylor to a "General Clinton" who happened to be an American general named George Clinton.
—George Washington, Spymaster,
Thomas B. Allen

B)They stopped Taylor along his route to Burgoyne.
C)Red uniforms were easy to come by for the American soldiers.
