34. One mystery remains. "Higgins" (or " Hig- gens ") set out (apparently from Newburyport) by land with some Indians, but had not arrived when Arnold left Fort Western, and Enos was directed to hurry the Indians forward when they should appear. What In- dians were these ? I take it they were envoys from St. Francois (St. Francis) on the St. Lawrence, who had recently made a visit to Washington's camp. The bear- ing of this will be seen later (Chapter VIII., note 35). 35. Mr. Codman (p. 41) spe...aks of the army as lying at Fort Western to make " final preparations for their march, — at this, the last place where supplies might be obtained in the least adequate to their needs." He can- not mean that supplies could be transported to Fort Western and there delivered to the troops, for this would be true of Fort Halifax, or Vassalborough; but that stores of supplies adequate for the army existed, and were kept on hand, at Fort Western. This, however, was by no means the case. There was not the least occasion for maintaining there stocks "adequate" for a force of 1050 men.
