With the opening of n"avigation hostilities were resumed on Lake Ontario. During the winter, two new vessels had been built at Kingston. Strengthened by the addition of these, the British fleet, under the command of Sir James Yeo, early in May, sailed for Oswego in order to destroy a large quantity of naval stores there collected. A military force of a thousand men, under General Drummond, accompanied the expedition. An assaulting party of three hundred and forty soldiers and sailors, in the fa...ce of a heavy fire of grape, stormed the strong and well-defended fort. Li half an hour it was in their hands. The fort and barracks were destroyed, and some shipping, and an immense amount of stores were taken. Sir James Yeo now blockaded Chauncey's fleet in Sackett's Harbour. On the morning of the last day of May a flotilla of sixteen barges, laden with naval stores, was discovered seeking refuge amid the windings of Sandy Creek. A boat-party from the fleet, attempting pursuit, became entangled in the narrow creek, and was attacked by a strong force of the enemy, including two hundred Indians.
