Colonel Peter Schuyler led the advance with a company of Mohawks, but the ever-watchful Frontenac was pre- pared ; his Indian allies flocked in crowds to aid him in defending Montreal. The Mohawks were repulsed and could not recover their position, as the army sent to sup- port them was compelled to stop short ; the small-pox broke out among the soldiers, and they were in want of provisions. Meantime, the fleet of thirty-two vessels, and two thousand men, which had sailed from Boston, was endea...v- oring to find its way up the St. Lawrence. It was under the command of Sir William Phipps, to whose incompe- tency may be attiibuted the failure of the enterprise. An Indian runner cut across the woods from Piscataqua, and in twelve days brought the news of the intended attack to the French. Frontenac hastened to Quebec, where he arrived three days before the fleet. When it came in sight he was prepared to make a vigorous defence. A party landed, but after some skirmishing the enterprise was abandoned.
