The enterprise against this fortress was conducted by the land and naval commanders, Amherst and Boscawen, with twenty ships of the line, and 14,000 men. The armament left Halifax late in May, and arrived before Louisburg early in June. A regular siege, the best conducted of any which had ever been laid in America, placed this fortress in the hands of the British. It was by his gallant conduct during this siege, that James Wolfe began his high career of military renown. The loss of Louisburg wa...s deeply felt by France, and its gain by England and her rejoicing colonies. The garrison and mariners, to the amount of nearly 6000, went prisoners to England, and the inhabi- tants of the place were transported to France. With Louisburg the whole island of Cape Breton, and that of St. John's, fell under the power of the British. General Abercrombie, at the head of 16,000 men, proceeded against ^ Ticonderoga and Crown Point. Early in July he crossed Lake George, and debarking at its northern extremity, he attempted, with unskilled guides, to pass the three miles of dense woods which lay between his army and Ticonderoga.
