Henry's. 10th. I marched down to point Levi, and joined the detach- ment. 11th, 12th and 13th. I was at Point Levi. Nothing extra- ordinary happened, except that a deserter came in to us from Quebec, by whom we are informed that Col. M'Lean (18) had arrived from Sorel with his regiment. I had forgot to mention that the Lizard frigate arrived a few days before our arrival at Point Levi. On the evening of this day, at nine o'clock, we be- gan to embark our men on board 35 canoes, and at 4 o'clock... in the morning we got over and landed about 500 men, entirely un- discovered, although two men-of-war were stationed to prevent us. We lauded at the same place that General Wolfe did, in a small cove, which is now called Wolfe's Cove. Soon after our landing, a barge from the Lizard frigate came rowing up the river. We hailed her, and ordered her to come in to the shore. They refusing, we fired upon them. They pushed off shore, and 22 JOURXAT, cried out. After parading our men on the heights, and sending' a reconnoitering party towards the city, and placing sentries, we marched across the plains of Abram, and took possession of a large house, which was formerly owned by General Murray, (19) and other houses adjacent, which were fine accommodations for our troops.
