History

Watson was right! The Americans did move ; but not as the sincere friend had expected.

^ The very day St Johns opened its gates (November 3), Easton s regiment, including the ever-active Major Brown, set off down the river amid the drifting snow.

Livingston, with about one thousand Canadians, had already reached La Tours; but Montgomery wished to make sure of Maclean s discomfiture and of something else as well.

In three days Brown reached Sorel, and even crossed the St Lawrence.

Maclean, abandoned by his forced recruits, had put his troops on the schooner Pro vidence and the snow Fell, waiting off the mouth of the Richelieu, and still clung to this point of his disappointed hope.
