by the way, The weeks spent in slow
progress over the height of land, and
in searching for the Chaudiere, were
filled with suffering beyond descrip-
ton. Dogs were killed for food Then
roots, bark, leather pouches and moose
skin moccasins were eaten. 1t was not
possible to bury the dead
When the Chaudiere was fpally
reached, there was generous help from
the scattered French settlers, and the
remnant of the army was saved from
starvation. Nine weeks after leaving
Cambridge the st. Lawrence was sight
ed About six hundred of the eleven
hundred men reached there, but one
hundred of them were too sick for
duty. Nearly one hundred others had
died in the wilderness. The desperate
but futile attempt to take Quebec, in
conjunction with Montgomery force,
which had come by another route, Is
another story. 1t would have been far
better for the name and the fame of
the brave Arnold if he, as well as
Montgomery, had met his death on the
icy ramparts during the mad assault
of that stormy December night.
Today the trail of Arnold's march
from the sea to Quebec leads through
a beautiful region, where peace pre-
walls and plenty abounds. There are
sections of it wild and primeval enough
to satisfy any lover of the wilderness.

autumn can study under delightful

and the interior of Maine. It leads
up the Kennebec, past the falls at
Waterville, Skowhegan, Norridgewock
and Caratunk, to the Carrying Place;
thence across country to the Dead
river which it follows past Mount Bige-
low and through a long chain of small
ponds for one hundred miles to the
height of land on the Canadian border;
thence down Lake Megantic and down
the Chaudiere about one hundred and
twenty-five miles to Point Lewis, on the
st. Lawrence.

Element lived fully one-half of the five
hundred white people then inhabiting
the whole valley of the Kennebec. Just
above, at Agry's Point, in Pittston, two
hundred rude bateaux had been hastily
made of green pine by a crew of men
who had been sent on ahead. These
were henceforth used to transport the
supplies, and the men not needed to
manage them marched on the banks.
At Fort Western, the present site of
Augusta, the expedition paused for
several days, as it was the last output
of civilization before plunging into the
wilderness, although occasional set
tiers were to be found for fifty miles
up the river. Fort Western, built in
1854, had been abandoned as a military
post; but little settlement had sprung
up round it, and local traditions still
tell of the festivities with which the
ardent patriots entertained the visit,

There was one feast in particular
a monster barbecue, at which three
bears, roasted whole, were, served ;
also venispn, smoked salmon, corn

The bears were shot by Aaron Burr
later Vice-President, who was young
officer of the expedition-and Jacata,
qua, an Indian girl, who joined the
army at Swan Island and continued
with it to Quebec, as did other Indians
also.
Here at Fort Western occurred the
first loss of life since leaving Cam
bridge. A soldier named Bishop was
shot in quarrel by a comrade named
Mccormick. The murderer was sent
under guard to Massachusetts, and
died on the day set for his execution
The main building of old Fort Western

the tourist, as does one of the small
blockhouses of Fort Halifax at Win

After leaving Fort Western, the
army was arranged in four divisions
and the real work began. At Norridge

settler behind, they saw-as the visitor

BY John Clair Minot.

The expedition of Benedict Arnold
in the late autumn and early winter Of
1775, up the Kennebec and down the
Chaudiere to the frowning walls OF
Quebec, was one of the great Ifs"
of American history. Had it succeeded
and it came nearer success than
most of us realize,-it would have
been known forever as the most bril-
liant military exploit of the war for
independence. Canada would have
been won to the cause Of the colonies,
and the course of American history
would have been vastly different. But
it failed--a complete and tragic fail
ure And partly because it was
failure, and partly because the name
of its indomitable leader became later
the detested synonym of treason, the
expedition has usually been touched
upon but lightly when the story of the
Revolution has been told.
Yet no campaign of the war, or Of
any war, brought out more of the phys
ical endurance, the lofty courage and
the resourceful persistence which make
us proud of the American soldier and
pioneer. That long fight with the
terrible privation and hardships of a
winter wilderness was a far greater
test of patriotism than the desperate
assault made by the survivors upon
the battlements of Quebec.
In recent years the route of Arnold's
march more or less closely followed,
has become a favorite summer trip for
the canoeist and the automobilist, who
find delight in traversing a region of
many and varied natural charms. In
some instances students of history
have followed the trail more closely,
partly by land and partly by water,
and even after more than a century
has passed, relics of the Inflated ex-
petition have been brought to light
The expedition was organized at
Cambridge, where large but poorly
drilled and equipped American force
held the British shut up in Boston. The
plan had been under consideration for
some time, and had the full approval
of Washington, who selected Arnold
as its leader, with the rank of colonel
The force was made up of eleven hun.
dred men, all of them eager volunteers.
Eight hundred were from New England
and two hundred from Pennsylvania
and there were one hundred Virgin
ians under Morgan, wonderful marks
men, who had marched the six hun
bred miles from Virginia, to Cam
bridge in three weeks.
1t was mid-September, 1875, when
the expedition set forth, fatally late
in the season, as the event proved, for
both the distance and the difficulties
were seriously underestimated.
The first stage was by foot to New.
buryport, the only monument
to the expedition has been erected
and thence in ten transports to the
mouth of the Kennebec. The seasick-
ness, from which all suffered on ac-
count of the stormy passage, was fol
lowed by a prayer nearly two hours
long, which was offered by good Par
son Emerson Of Georgetown when the
ships finally anchored in the river.

expedition naturally begins on the

WOMEN IN A DUEL.
ROME, Aug. 19.-Rarely has such
an exciting duel been fought as that
which took place between two young
women of the criminal court classes

this extraordinary combat were An

assisted in the duel by nine men. The
