The general rendezvous was fixed for the 28'^ of Sept. , at Fort AGAINST THE MOHAWKS. €9 St. Anne recently constructed by Sieur La Mothe, Captain in the Carignan Regiment, on an Island in Lake Champlain. Some of the troops not being able to come up in sufficient time, M. De Tracy would not proceed before the 3"^ of October, with the main body of the army. But M. De Courcelles impelled by his characteristic impatience for the fight, started some days ahead with 400 men, and »Sieurs De Chambly an...d Berthier, com- mandants of the Forts St. Louis and Assumption were left to follow M. De Tracy, four days afterwards, with the rear guard. As it was necessary to march one hundred and twenty leagues into the interior to find the enemy's villages, and as several large lakes and many considerable rivers were to be crossed before arriving there, it was necessary to be provided with conveniences for land and water. Vessels requisite for this expedition had been prepared. Three hundred were ready* consisting partly of very light batteaux, and partly of bark canoes, each of which carried at most five or six hundred persons.
