BY Az AGED vERMoNTEI WHO WITNESSED II
From GRAND ISLE.
About the first of September, 1914, great
excitement was caused by the report that Sir
George Provost, gcvernor-g general, at the head
OF an immense army, was on his march from
Canada, together with the British fleet COM
/ ing up Lake Champlain, and bearing down
upon Pattsburgh as their objective point,
/ where small garrison of fifteen hundred or
! two thousand troops WAS stationed, besides
our fleet which lay a, anchor in Plaitsburgh
/ bay very near the fort. As the news flew
/ upon the wings OF the wind through the
! State. hundreds and hundreds of people
rushed TO the seat of war. Every house, al
most, was filled with strangers coming and
going, and nothing else was heard but war
and fighting. Every day, almost, brought us
news of the advance of the British army,
which was composed mostly of foreign
troops, who had fought under Wellington
and conquered Napoleon at Waterloo. II
