Capture Of Fort George.

Scott, tHen not quite twenty-seven years Of
age, joined the army at Fort Niagara, as Adju-
tant General to Gen. Dearborn. This was in
1918, soon after the capture OF York had in
duced the General to attempt the conquest Of
Fort George The troops were conveyed thith-
er by Commodore Chauneey, and Scott led the
advanced guard of 500 men to the attack.
Having reached the beach, Scott drew up his
| little band under cover of the bank that rose
eight Or ten feet over their heads; from the top
of which brstled some fifteen hundred bayon-
els. Undauned by this formidable array and
the bank that opposed his progress, Scott Or.
dered the charge. The men, with loud cheers,
sprang up the steep ascent, but when near the
summit were met with such overpowering force
that they were hurled back. Gen. Dearborn,
standing on the deck Of Chauncey's ship, and
watching through his glass the result of the
charge, saw the tall form of Scott fall back
ward down the bank upon the beach. Burst
ing into tears, he exclaimed "Ie is lost, he is
kliled!' The next moment, however, Scott
sprang to his feet, cheering on his men, led
them again to the charge. Knocking up the
bayonets as they c!ambcred to the feet of their
foes, they steadily pushed them back, and stood
at last on the summit. Their shout of triumph
was echoed from the boats below and from the
ships In the distance Scott having dressed his
line, ordered the charge, and closing tiercely and
at once with the enemy, drove them, after a
sharp action of twenty minutes, in every direc-
ton before him. Some fled to the woods, pur-
sued by Forsythe, who had effected landing,
while others took refuge. in the fart Thswas
immediately abandoned, but not till the trains
and magazines had been fired Scott was at
this time opposite the fort, and immediately
wheeled two companies from the head of his
column TO arrest the flames When within
about eighty yards, one of the smaller maga-
zines blew up, sending its fragments in every
direction. A piece of flying timber struck Scott
and hurled him from his horse. Though much
hurt, he pressed on with his men-ordered the
gates to be forced, and was the first to enter.
Capts. Hndman and Stockton snatched away
the matches which had been applied to two
other magazines, and the works were saved
Col. Porter, who commanded the field artillery,
had effected a landing directly in rear of Scott,
and coming to his assistance at the close of the
battle, followed close on the heels in pursuit
of the enemy. When the former turned to en-.
ter the fort, the gallant Colonel rushed after, to
be the first to pull down the British flag. But
finding Scott ahead of him, he exclaimed, "Con-
found your long legs, Scott, you have got in
before me-" No sooner had the latter lowered
the English colors than he again put himself at
the head Of his column, in swift pursuit of the
fugitives.
