twenty-one as "a person of distinc-
ton"
Washington performed his errand
as Dinwiddie must have expected he
would. He received his commission
and the governors letter to the French
commandant on the last day OF Octo-
Der, and set out the same day for the
mountains. Jacob Vanbraam, the
Dutch soldier of fortune who had been
his fencing master at Mount Vernon,
accompanied him as Interpreter, and
Christopher Gist,. the hardy, self-reli-
ant frontier trader, whom the Ohio
company had employed to make inter
est for them among the Indians of the
far region upon the western rivers
which he knew so well, was engaged
to act as his guide and counselor;
and with few servants and pack
horses he struck straight into the for
ests in the middle of bleak November.
Reaches the French Fort.
It was the eleventh of December
before the jaded party rode, in the
cold dusk, into the drenched and miry
clearing where the dreary little fort

miles and more of forest they had

their tagging horses, and on thewatch

II had become plain enough before

Even to send a warning 70 the
French was NO easy matter when
the kings letter came and the chill
autumn rains were at hand. The
mountain streams, already swollen,
presently to be full OF Ice, would be
very dangerous for men and horses,
and the forests were likely enough to

land grants, did not mean to leave
Major Washington in the lurch. and
before an expedition could be got
afoot had come together again to vote
q sum of money.
A Regiment Raised.
It would be possible with the sum
they appropriated to put 800 or 400
men into the field; and as spring
drew on, raw volunteers began to gath
er in some numbers at Alexandria,
ragged regiment, made up for the most
part of idle and shiftless men. who
did not always have shoes. or even
shirts, Of their own to wear; anxious
to get their eight-pence Q day, but
not anxious to work or submit to dis
cipline. Twas astonishing how
steady and how spirited they showed
themselves when once they had shak-
en- their lethargy OF and were on
tho march or face to face with the
enemy.
A body Of weodsmen had been
hurried forward in February, ere
spring had opened, to make clearing
and set to work upon q fort at the
forks Of the Ohio; but 1t was the I'd
Of April before men enough could be
collected 1T Alexandra to begin the
main movement towards the frontier,
and by that time it was too late to
checkmate the French. The little
force sent forward to begin fortifica-
lions had set about their task very
sluggishly and without skill. and
their commander had turned back
again with some Of his men to re-
join the forces behind him before the
petty works he should have stayed to
finish were we'll begun.
Compelled TO Surrender
When, therefore, ON the 18th Of
April, the river suddenly filled with
canoes bearing an army Of more than
500 Frenchmen, who put cannon
ashore, and summoned the 40 men
who held the place to surrender, or
be blown into the water, there was no
choice but to comply. The young en-
sign who commanded the little gar
rison urged truce till he could COM
municate with his superiors. but the
French commander would brook NO
delay. The boy might either take his
men of free and unhurt, or else fight
and face sheer destruction; and the
nearest succor was little force Of $50
men under Colonel Washington, who
had not yet topped the Alleghanies in
their painful work of cutting a way
through the forests for their field
pieces and wagons.
Second In Command.
The governors plans had been al
tered by the assembly's vote OF money
and the additional levy Of men which
it made possible. Col. John Fry,
whom Dinwiddie deemed "a man Of
good sense, and one of our best math-
ematicians," had been given the. COM
