247 Nothing daunted, and contrary to the advice of Colonel Proctor and other of his officers, Major- General Brock at once determined on crossing the river, with the view of attempting, by a sudden and resolute attack, the annihilation of the enemy s power in that quarter. In the afternoon, a fire was opened from a battery of five guns, erected opposite to De troit, under the direction of Captain Dixon, of the Royal Engineers : this cannonade was returned from seven 24-pounders, but the British... general, perceiving that little effect was produced by either fire, gave orders that his should cease. The troops retired to their bivouac and lay on their arms, with orders to cross the strait, or river, which is here about three- fourths of a mile in width, on the following morning. Accordingly, at about six o clock, on Sunday, the 16th of August, the fire from the British battery having been previously resumed, 330 regulars and 400 militia were embarked, with five pieces of light artillery, in boats and canoes of every description, and soon effected a landing, without opposition, near Springwell, four or five miles below Detroit.
