Matthew Semple, of Philadelphia, a grand- nephew of the murdered Governor, for further facts about that hero. He led a life of travel and adventure, spiced with almost romantic happenings. He wrote ten books: records of travel and one novel. His parents were passengers on an English vessel which was capt- ured by the Americans in 1776, and brought to Boston, Mass. , where he was born on February 26, 1777. He was therefore only 39 years of age when he was slain. His portrait, now in Philadelphia..., shows him to have been a man of striking and handsome appearance. 176 ON CANADA S FRONTIER tried to starve the colonists, and Governor Semple destroyed the enemy's fort below Fort Garry. Then came the end — a decisive battle and massacre. Sixty -five men on horses, and with some carts, were sent by Alexander McDonnell, of the North- west Company, up the river towards the colony. They were led by Cuthbert Grant, and included six Canadians, four Indians, and fifty -four half-breeds. It was afterwards said they went on innocent busi- ness, but every man was armed, and the " breeds " were naked, and painted all over to look like Ind- ians.
