Just before we left Bethlehem, eleven farmers, who had been driven from their plantations by the Indians, came to me requesting a supply of firearms, that they might go back and fetch off their cattle. I gave them each a gun with suitable ammunition. We had not march'd many miles before it began to rain, and it continued raining all day; there were no habitations on the road to shelter us, till we arriv'd near night at the house of a German, where, and in his barn, we were all huddled together, as wet as water could make us. It was well we were not attack'd in our march, for our arms were of the most ordinary sort, and our men could not keep their gun locks dry. The Indians are dextrous in contrivances for that purpose, which we had not. They met that day the eleven poor farmers above mentioned, and killed ten of them. The one who escap'd inform'd that his and his companions' guns would not go off, the priming being wet with the rain.

白话
离开伯利恒前，十一个被印第安人赶出种植园的农民来找富兰克林要枪，想回去把牲口赶回来。他每人发一支枪和弹药。没走几里就下雨，下了一整天，路上没有住处，直到傍晚才到一户德国人家，大家挤在屋里和谷仓，浑身湿透。幸好路上没遭袭击，因为武器最普通，枪机根本保不了干。印第安人擅长防潮办法，他们没有。结果那天印第安人遇上这十一个农民，杀了十个；逃回的那个说，枪因火药被雨淋湿打不响。核心是：给工具不等于给能力，关键细节没解决，工具反成负担。
