War paint was donned, and in an hour the band, ninehundred strong, of whom near seven hundred were Indians and the remainderCanadians and regulars, set off silently through the forest. Beaujeucalculated, at the most, on giving us a severe check as we crossed thesecond ford, but long ere he reached the river, the beating of the drumsand the tramp of the approaching army told him that he was too late, andthat we had already crossed. Quickening their pace to a run, in a momentthey came upon our va...nguard, and as Beaujeu gave the signal, the Indiansthrew themselves into two ravines on our flanks, while the Canadians andFrench held the centre. The first volley of Gage's troops killedBeaujeu, and was so tremendous that it frightened the Indians, whoturned to flee. But they were rallied by a few subalterns, and findingthat the volleys of the regulars did little damage except to the trees, returned to the attack, and during the whole engagement were perfectlysheltered in the ravines, rifle and artillery fire alike sweeping abovethem.
