In six days this fleet cast anchor in the noble harbor of Port Royal. With a gar- rison suffering from famine, and reduced by casualties and desertion to 156 men, Subercase, the French commandant, was speedily forced to surrender, and marched out with all the honors of war, to beg for food the next hour from his victors. In honor of the Queen the captured set- tlement was called Annapolis, a name it still retains. ^ Vaudreuil saw clearly the danger that threatened Canadia, were the British to a...dvance their possessions towards the St. Lawrence. He appointed Castin, an energetic officer, to the government of Nova Scotia, and during the winter s^nt messengers over the snows, to press upon the Jesuit missionaries. the necessity of preserving the zeal and patriotism of the Indian allies and French settlers in that region. But Castin was unable to restore the falling fortunes of the French on the sea-board, and from that day to this, the Union Jack has floated over Annapolis. Flushed with victory, Nicholson repaired to England to urge the conquest of Canada, while, at the same time, the Onondagas sent depu- ties to de Vaudreuil, to assure him that they remained faithful to their treaty with the French, although their confederates were inclined to make common cause with the British.
