Flank- ing parties were thrown out on either side and the horses and cattle were forced to make their way painfully through the trees. Gage led the advance column. Just as it passed a wide ravine and the main column was on the point of entering it, the guides and light horsemen in front suddenly fell back. A man dressed like an Indian, but wearing the gorget of an officer, probably Beaujeu, was seen running along the path. He stopped and waved his hat; soon it appeared that the forest was swarm...ing with French and savages. The Indians responded to the signal with yells and opened a heavy fire from behind the trees, which was replied to by Gage's column, which stood with great steadiness against the In- dians' fire. With the first fire a number of Canadians and French fled, calling out according to Dumas "Sauve qui peut." Volley after volley followed. At the third one Beaujeu fell dead. The Indians gave way in confusion. The English soldiers were moving for- ward, cheering and shouting "God save the King!" Captain Dumas, in command, believed that all was lost.
