Every day while I remained there, I witnessed sales of their goods at auction in the streets. When the news of the victory reached us at Pres- cott, the ofBcers assembled at what was called ''Jack- 6 62 son^s Tavern, " where Major Galloway, Captain Crowi> iflshield, myself, and several others boarded, and spent the afternoon in jollity and mirth. "Hail Columbia, " I suppose was never sung with more heart-felt gra6» tude, than we sang it that afternoon; joining hands, form- ing a circle and walk...ing round, we sang with all our force, disregardful entirely of consequences; but we were permitted to enjoy ourselves without molestation, as there was not a British officer or soldier then resi» dent in the village. Captain Crowninshield had been detained in imprisonment for something Hke a year af- ter he had been legally exchanged; immediately after the news of peace had reached them, Captain Cushet, the provost Major, sent a line to him, with directions to have his baggage put on board of a certain vessel then lying in the harbor, bound for the United States, and then to repair to his office in Halifax; the Captain did so, and on appearing in the office, the Major asked him if he did not feel rejoiced at the prospect of return- ing to his family.
