and contributed with his own hands to raise
its picketting and its 5lock- houses He has
the Strongest persuasion of the strength Of

elevation within 200 yards from the Fort
which overtops it, or com mauds it. The
sciteyof the Old British Fort is at least 5
miles from it, at the head of the bay. 1t is
rather higher than Fort Meigs. There is
another point on the river, also belov Fort
Meigs. where Gen. Wayne had his err

from the fort, but it is not of superior eleva
