mos had already turned back, carrying
the lions share Of the provisions with him,
The advance nearly persisted from hunger
before reaching the French settlements,
for Arnold found the route longer and
more difficult than he had expected. AT
the close OF October the meat ration gave
out, and the -four, when divided up, gave
but lyeRints TO each man. This was baked
into cakes in the ashes of the camp fires.
In desperation Arnold selected body Of
men and FASTENED on ahead TO procure and
send back food He sailed rapidly down
the foaming tide of the Chaudiere and lost
three boats on the rocks at the end of
twenty mile run. With six men and two
boats he pressed on, and on Oct, 30 sighted
the first house Without loss Of time he sent
back beeyes and flour to the soldiers actu-
ally furnishing, but still heroicaly strug-
Cling forward, After Arnold left camp
two pet dogs were slaughtered, and their
flesh and the broth made by boiling their
bones were eagerly deyoured. Roots dug
out of the sand were eaten raw, and
breeches and moecasins of deerskin and
moose hide were boiled to make broth, and
also charred on the Goals and then eaten.
OF course all human nature could not hold
out under this, Men thought that death
was preferable, and so thinking gave up
the struggle. In such cases death came in
n few minutes

an orderly advance. During the last few
| days in the Wilderness the men had been
| permitted TO travel at will, with the under
standing that all should assemble at the

| began to struggle into the advance camp,
and by the Sth the companies and battal-
! ions had been reorganized There were still
seyenty-fve miles to make before reaching
Quebec, yet on Nov. 10 Arnold had his COM
mand ON the banks Of the st. Lawrence,
opposite the city. His troops numbered in
effective men about $50. The English,
warned by the traitorous messenger who
had been sent from the wilderness to com
municate with friends Of the patriots, had
burned all the boats on the American side
and Arnold had to gather canoes from the
surrounding country to ferry his solqlerS
across. 1 ~ -
On the night of the 18th the leader ane
800 men eluded the British sentinel vessel
stationed in the river and landed at Wolfe
cove. From there they assembled to tn
plains of Abraham, and stood before tn
frowning walls Of the castle which sheltered
the garrison. Re-enforcements had hurried
to the defense of the city, and Arnold wa
confronted by odds Of three to one. BE

Bring out the rusty garden rake,
Hunt up the hoe and spade,
For spring is here, and it is time
TO have the garden made.
Your wife will lean upon the fence
And watch you While you work.
She's always prompt to give advice,
She'll never let you shirk.
Don't waste your time In trying to tell
The bulbs from worthless weeds;
Dig them all up; that's easiest, and
You'll need the room for seeds.
Work hard, man, you won't break YOU
back,
Though you may fear you may.
Don't stop to lean upon your spade
Think what your wife will say.
Then when you've got the garden dug,
The seeds all out of sight,
You'd better hire a gardener

to communicate with the British leader

Arnold in order to storm Quebec.

them in open plain Arnold reluctantly re-

Washington to aid Schuyler in his cam
paign against Canada in 1715. The plan
was to take the shortest cut across country,
and the route selected was up the Kenne-
bee TO the highlands, and then down the
Chaudiere TO the st. Lawrence. The path
way was unmarked for long distance,
and Arnold's only guide was the journal
Of an engineer officer who had made the
trip fifteen years before The troops de-
tached from the Continental army to ac-
company him consisted Of ten companies
OF infantry and three companies Of rifle
men, numbering all told LOO men. The
riilemen We're mountaineers from Pennsyl-

skilled in woodcraft and at home in the
wilds. Daniel Morgan led the rihemen,
and lie was u hero whose exploits during

way he happenedte be at Cambridge, where
Arnold made up his detachment, showed

souls of the yeomanry, and with a company
of rugged spirits like himself marched all
the way TO the New England coast, over

thing, among them Aaron Burr, slender
youth Of twenty. Nearly all Of the men
were OF the restless, energetic class that &C

Arnold was fit leader for them in every
respect. Pluck and boldness he possessed

that belong to men of brains and genius

in his every feature and every act.
