But the other divisions, under Arnold, pressed forward amid incredible hardships and privations, and triumphed over obstacles nearly in- superable. For a month they toiled through a rough, barren, and uninhabited wil- derness, without seeing a human habitation, or the face of an individual, except those of their own party, and with very scanty provisions. At length, on the 9th of November, Arnold, with his force much diminished, arrived at Point Levi, opposite Quebec. His appearance was not une...xpected ; for the lieutenant governor had been for some time apprized of his march. In the early part of his progress, Arnold had met an Indian, to whom, although a stranger, he had imprudently entrusted OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. 165 a letter to General Schuyler, under cover to a friend in Quebec. The Indian, instead of faithfully delivering the letter according to the directions which he had received, carried it to the lieutenant governor, who, in order to prevent the Americans from passing the river, immediately removed all the canoes from Point Levi, and began to put the city in a posture of defence, which before might easily have been surprised.
