The Thrilling Story of General Wolfe and His Glorious Adventure at Quebec.YOUNG English officer sits writing at a rough deal table.The ship wherein he writes strains at its cable in a swiftly flowing river.The face bending over the cabin table is thin and worn with suffering.On the head is clapped carelessly a black three-cornered hat.Presently the letter is finished.Let us glance over his shoulder as he gives it a final perusal.It is dated: \u201cQuebec, September 2nd, 1759,\u201d and is addressed to a famous Englishman, William Pitt.\u201cThe obstacles,\u201d the letter runs, \u201cwe have met with in the operations of the campaign before Quebec are much greater than we had reason to expect, or could foresee; not so much from the number of the enemy (though superior to us), as from the natural strength of the country, which the Marquis of Montcalm seems wisely to depend upon.When I learned that succors of all kinds had been thrown at Quebec; that five battalions of regular troops, completed from the best inhabitants of the country, some of the troops of the colony, and every Canadian that was able to bear arms, besides several nations of savages, had taken the field in a very advantageous situation,\u2014I could not flatter myself that I should be able to reduce the place.\u201cI sought, however,\u201d the letter continues, \u201can occasion to attack their army, knowing well that with these troops I was able to fight, and hoping that a victory might disperse them.\u201d Then, after recounting the events of the campaign with admirable clearness, he continues:\u2014\u201cI found myself so ill, and am still so weak, that I begged the general officers to consult together for the general utility.They are all of the opinion that, as more ships and provisions are now got above the town, they should try, by conveying up a corps of four or five thousand men (which is nearly the whole strength of the army after the Points of Levis and Orleans are left in a proper state of defence) to draw the enemy from their present situation and bring them to an action.I have acquiesced in the proposal, and we are preparing te put it into execution.\u201d The letter ends thus: \u201cBy the list of disabled officers, many of whom are of rank, you may perceive that the army is much weakened.By the nature of the (St.Lawrence) river, the most formidable part of this armament is deprived of the power of acting.\u201cIn this situation there is such a choice of difficulties that I own myself at a loss how to determine.The affairs of Great Britain, I know, require the most vigorous measures; but the courage of a handful of brave troops should be exerted only when there is some hope of a favorable event; however, vou may be assured that the small part of the campaign which remains shall be employed, as far as I am able, for the honor of His Majesty and the interest of the Nation, in which I am sure of being well seconded by the Admiral and by the Generals; happy if our efforts can contribute to the success of His Majesty's arms in any other part of America.\u201d Having sealed up his packet and de- er~RN~o livered it to an officer for immediate conveyance to the vessel which is just getting under way for England, the young officer falls into a deep reverie.He has been sent out from England, a mere youth, entrusted with a task of gigantic difficulty, that of reducing the fortress of Quebec, a position of enormous natural strength, and defended i conducting many of the military operations of the campaign.He has decided upon a bold and desperate stroke, and has just written his last despatch to his great master, William Pitt.Let us glance closely at this young man in the black three-cornered hat, who, fatigued by his efforts, has thrown | himself back in his chair.His face is WHERE WOLFE WAS CHRISTEN graph has been accepted for the British Museum.by one of the most gallant of all French military commanders, the Marquis de Montcalm.> HK HK MK The days have passed, and Quebec has not fallen.A grievous illness has struck the young commander down, and prevented him from personally the parish church, Westerham, Kent, England.ED\u2014The beautiful memorial porch of A copy of this photo- National Photographic Record in the (Photo by Henry Pope, London, Eng.) not impressive.The forehead and chin recede.The nose is slightly tip-tilted, forming with the other features almost the point of an obtuse triangle.The mouth is, remarkably enough, by no means shaped to express resolution.There is but little except the clear, bright and piercing eye to bespeak the i unconquerable spirit within.His short Ne IN WOLFE\u2019S COUNTRY\u2014The beautiful village of Chiddingstone, Kent, England, exactly as it was in the days of Queen Elizabeth.(Photo by Henry Pope, London, Eng.) reddish hair is tied in a queue behind;

Despite his youthful and somewhat insignificant appearance, the young officer has had a remarkable career, and Fate was yet to connect him with still more momentous events in Canada.When Wolfe, for he it is, sealed his final despatch to Pitt, he was in the thirty-third year of his age.His father had been an officer of distinction, Major-General Edward Wolfe, and he himself had served his King since the age of fifteen.In the days of his childhood he had dreamed of the army, and the roar of battle was early in his ears.At sixteen he took the field in Flanders, discharging in an able manner the duties of adjutant of the regiment.He early showed a wonderful faculty for commanding men.He passed with credit through several campaigns.He took part in the victory of Dettingen and afterwards proceeded to Scotland, where he fought at Culloden.Next we find him at Stirling, Perth, and Glasgow, a romantic figure of a boy, always ardent, always diligent.At twenty-three he was a lieutenant-colonel, commanding his regiment in the Town of Inverness.Here he kept civil order for five years, battling with solitude and ill-health.Obtaining leave of absence, he proceeded to Paris, where he spent six months in perfecting himself in French, horsemanship, fencing, dancing, and other accomplishments, and in reading ex- i Ps aii WOLFE\u2019S NATIVE VILLAGE\u2014Village street, Westerham, Kent, England, w Note the old timbered houses.Nn WHERE WOLFE RECEIVED HIS FIRST COMMISSION AS A YOUTH \u2014 \u201cSquerryes Court,\u201d Westerham, Kent, England, where many relics of Wolfe are preserved, including all the commissions of Wolfe and of his father, as well as a large number of their letters.tensively on everything that bore on military subjects.His part in the taking of Louisbourg greatly increased hig reputation.On his return to Ergland he went to Bath to recruit his health.Here he met Miss Katherine Lowther, sister of the future Lord Lonsdale, and to her he became betrothed.Pitt, the great Commoner, chose him to command the expedition against Quebec.He was made a Major-General.And so we find him writing his despatches and dreaming his dreams of military glory, seated in the rough little cabin of his warship before Quebec.XX WK MK In his reverie, he glances out of the window, and his eye meets a lovely prospect on that beautiful early September afternoon.On both sides of the noble St.Lawrence can be seen windmills, watermills, churches, chapels, and comfortable farmhouses, all built with stone, and covered, some with wood, and others with straw.The land seems everywhere well cultivated.The fields are yellow with flax and wheat.The weather is agreeably warm.A light September haze sometimes hangs over the heights of land, but in the river there is a fine, clear atmosphere.In addition to these lovely scenes of quiet beauty, there is an amphitheatre of lofty precipices, their brows crested Nett, ed with his squadron off Louisbourg, he found the entrance blocked by ice, and was forced to seek harborage at Halifax.SK AK Hk In May the fleet was united in the harbor of Louisbourg.Twelve thousand troops were to have been employed for the expedition; but several regiments expected from the West Indies were for some reason countermanded, while the accessions from New York and the Nova Scotia garrisons fell far short of the looked-for numbers.Three weeks before leaving Louisbourg for the St.Lawrence Wolfe writes to his uncle Walter that he has an army of nine thousand men.\u201cOur troops are good,\u201d he informs Pitt; \u201cand if valor can make amends for want of numbers, we shall probably succeed.\u201d Three brigadiers, all in the early prime of life, held command under him: Monckton, Townshend, and Murray.On the sixth of June, the last ship of the fleet sailed out of Louisbourg harbor, the troops loudly cheering and the officers drinking toasts to the success of the expedition.The ships that had gone before lay to until the whole fleet was re-united, and then all steered together for the St.Lawrence.XK OK WK \u201cFrom the headland of Cape Egmont,\u201d says Parkman, \u201cthe Micmac hunter, DEATH OF WOLFE MEDAL\u2014This bears a profile of Wolfe, and the inscription which, when translated, reads: \u2018James Wolfe the Englishman\u201d on the obverse, and, on the reverse, a funeral urn surrounded by a wreath, battle-flags and trophies.The translation of the inscription declares that he was \u201cSlain in the moment of victory, at Quebec, Sept.13, 1759.\u201d with forests, and their steep brown sides feathered with stunted birch and fir trees.Into this abyss can be seen leaping the gleaming Montmorenci, with one headlong plunge of nearly two hundred and fifty feet, a living column of snowy white, with its spray, its foam, its mists, and its rainbows.It is but a gunshot across the gulf, and the sentinels on either side watch each other over the roar and turmoil of the cataract.AK ok HK Wolfe, in his cabin, on the eve of a desperate adventure, mused on the events of the most wonderful year of a short but brilliant military career.About the end of January, 1759, the fleet to sail from England against Quebec was almost ready, and Wolfe wrote to his uncle: \u201cI am to act a greater part in the business than I wished.The backwardness of some of the older officers has in some measure forced the Government to come down so low.I shall do my best, and leave the rest to fortune.If I have health and constitution enough for the campaign, I shall think myself a lucky man; what happens afterwards is of nc great consequence.\u201d He sent to his mother an affectionate letter of farewell, went to Spithead, embarked with Admiral Saunders in the ship Neptune, and set sail on the seventeenth of February.In a few hours the whole squadron was at sea, the transports, the frigates, and the great line-of-battle ships, with their ponderous armament and their freight of humanity armed and trained for destruction; while, on the heaving deck of the Neptune, wretched with seasickness and racked with pain, stood the gallant invalid who was master of it all.The fleet consisted of twenty-two ships-of-the-line, with frigates, sloops- of-war, and a great number of transports.When Admiral Saunders arriv- (Medal by courtesy of R.W.McLachlan, Montreal.)

but about eleven o\u2019clock one night, favored by a wind, and covered by a furious cannonade from Point Levis, the ship \u201cSutherland,\u201d with a frigate and several small vessels, sailed safely by and reached the river above the town.Now, for the first time, it became necessary for Montcalm to weaken his army at Beauport by sending six hundred men, under Dumas, to defend the accessible points in the line of precipices between Quebec and Cap Rouge.Several hundred more were sent on the next day, when it became known that the English had dragged a fleet of boats over Point Levis, launched them above the town, and despatched troops to embark them.Thus danger had arisen on a side where the French thought themselves safe.On the other hand,Wolfe had become more vulnerable than ever.His army was now divided into four parts, each so far from the rest, that, in case of sudden attack, it must defend itself alone.> AK HK Wolfe, even with this success, had every reason to despond.At the outset, before he had seen Quebec and learned the nature of the ground, he | had meant to begin the campaign by taking a position on the Plains of Abraham, and thence laying siege to the town: but he soon discovered that the Plains of Abraham were hardly more within his reach than Quebec itself.Meanwhile, a deep despondency fell on the English.Wolfe's frail figure was seen no more in camp, and the rumor spread that the general was dangerously ill.He had, in fact, been seized by an access of the disease that had tortured him for some time, and fever had followed.His illness, however, which had begun before the twentieth of August, has so far subsided on the twenty-fifth, that Knox wrote in his diary of that day: \u201cHis Excellency General Wolfe is on the recovery, to the inconceivable joy of the whole army.\u201d On the twenty-ninth he was able to write or dictate a letter to the three brigadiers, Monckton, Townshend and Murray: \u201cThat the public service may not suffer by the General\u2019s indisposition, he begs the brigadiers will meet and consult together for the public utility and advantage, and consider of the best method to attack the enemy.\u201d The brigadiers met in consultation, and advised that the attempt should be made to gain a footing on the north shore above the town, place the army between Montcalm and his base of supply, and so force him to fight.The scheme seemed desperate, but Wolfe embraced it at once.HK AK HK His fear was that he might not be able to lead his troops in person.\u201cI know perfectly well you cannot cure me,\u201d he said to his physician; \u201cbut pray make me up so that I may be without pain for a few days, and be able to do my duty: that is all I want.\u201d On the last day of August he was able for the first time to leave the house.It was on this same day that he wrote his last letter to his mother: \u201cMy writing to you will convince you that no personal evils worse than defeats and disappointments have fallen upon me.The enemy puts nothing to risk.My antagonist has wisely shut himself up in inaccessible intrench- ments, so that I can\u2019t get at him without spilling a torrent of blood, and that, perhaps, to little purpose.\u201d Wolfe had been very ill on the evening of September the fourth.The troops knew it, and their spirits sank; but, after a night of torment, he grew better, and was very soon among them again, re-kindling their ardor.Major Robert Stobo, who, five years before, had been given as a hostage to the French at the capture of Fort Necessary, arrived about this time in a vessel from Halifax.He had long been a prisoner in Quebec, not always in close custody, and had used his opportunities to acquaint himself with structions were cleared away.Sm even coer pr CE Lawrence to Quebec.BURIAL-PLACE OF A VETERAN OF WOLFE\u2019S CAMPAIGN IN CANADA \u2014Tomb of Sir James Creed (who fought under Wolfe at Quebec) at the parish church of St.Alfege, Greenwich, London, England.(Photo by Henry Pope, London, Eng.) the neighborhood.In the spring of this year he and an officer of rangers named Stevens had made their escape;

all the light artillery and tools are embarked at the Point of Levis; and the troops will land where the French seem least to expect it.The first body that gets on shore is to march directly to the enemy and drive them out of any little post they may occupy; the officers must be careful that the succeeding bodies do not by mistake fire on those who go before them.The battalions must form on the upper ground with expedition, and be ready to charge whatever presents itself.When the artillery and troops are landed, a corps will be left to secure the landing-place, while the rest march on and endeavor to bring the Canadians and French to a battle.The officers and men will remember what their country expects from them, and what a determined body of soldiers inured to war is capable of doing against five weak French battalions mingled with a disorderly peasantry.\u201d \u2018Wolfe was still on board the Sutherland.Every preparation was made, i and every order given; it only remained to wait the turning of the tide.Seated with him in the cabin was the commander of the sloop-of-war Porcupine, his former school-fellow, John Jarvis, afterwards Earl St.Vincent.Wolfe told him that he expected to die in the battle of the next day; and taking from his bosom a miniature of Miss Low- ther, his betrothed, he gave it to him with a request that he would return it to her if his presentiment should prove true.HK Jk SK Towards two o'clock the tide began to ebb, and a fresh wind blew down the river.Two lanterns were raised into the maintop shrouds of the Sutherland.It was the appointed signal; the boats cast off and fell down with the current, those of the light infantry leading the way.The vessels with the rest upward and formed in order on the plateau above.Repose LEE RE of the troops had orders to follow a little later.\u201cLook for a moment,\u201d says Parkman, \u201cat the chances on which this bold adventure hung.First, the deserters told Wolfe that provision- boats were ordered to go down to Quebec that night; secondly, Bougainville countermanded them; thirdly, the sentries posted along the heights were told of the order, but not of the countermand; fourthly, Vergor at the Anse du Foulon had permitted most of his men, chiefly Canadians from Lorette, to go home for a time and work at their harvesting, on condition, it is said, that they should afterwards work in a neighboring field of his own;

the Chateau = Les Parc\u2014\u2014- des Batailles.Pr Parmi les champs de bataille immortels de l\u2019univers, les Plaines d\u2019Abraham occupent une place unique ; car c\u2019est là qu\u2019un empire fut perdu, et.gagné dans un premier choc d\u2019armées, que la balance de la victoire fut redressée dans une seconde rencontre, et que la gloire de chaque drapeau reçut un nouveau lustre dans chacune de ces journées fameuses.Cependant quelle que soit leur renommée, les Plaines d'Abraham ne sont pas le seul champ de bataille de Québec, ni le seul qui soit une source de légitime fierté pour les peuples parlant les langues française et anglaise.En moins d\u2019un siècle, Américains, Anglais, Français et Canadiens-français prirent part à quatre sièges et cing batailles.Celles-ci furent des actions décisives, où les vaincus ne furent jamais humiliés, et où les vainqueurs se composaient de forces alliées qui se partageaient les honneurs du triomphe.Les Rangers américains accompagnaient Wolfe, et les Canadiens- français aidèrent Carleton à sauver la future Puissance du Canada ; tandis que les Français et les Ca- nadiens-français étaient ensemble victorieux sous Frontenac, sous Montcalm à Montmorency et sous Lévis à Sainte-Foye.Nous ne connaissons aucune histoire \u2014 ni même aucune légende ou tradition\u2014qui nous montre une telle sucession de faits d\u2019armes héroïques, sur terre et sur mer, accomplis dans des armées et des flottes de peuples différents, avec autant d\u2019alternatives de victoire, et autant d\u2019honneur dans la défaite ; et tout cela sur la même scène.A cette heure ccmmémorative, nous pouvons donc dire sans aucune exagération, mais avec une inattaquable vérité, que les champs de bataille de Québec sont uniques dans l\u2019histoire universelle.Et n\u2019avons-nous pas aujourd\u2019hui une occasion unique d\u2019honorer ce sol précieux et de le préserver pour l\u2019avenir comme un héritage cher à nos deux races ?Un appel à l\u2019histoire serait éminemment convenable durant n\u2019importe quelle année comprise dans la décade finale de la Paix de Cent Ans entre les puissances jadis belligérantes de France, d\u2019Angleterre et des Etats - Unis.Mais 1908 est de beaucoup l'année la plus favorable ; car elle marque le trois-centième anniversaire de naissance du Canada, qui est devenu l\u2019aînée de toutes les possessions autoncmes de Sa Majesté au-delà des mers.Et sous quel roi pour- rions-nous célébrer avec plus d\u2019à- propos cette \u2018\u2018entente cordiale\u2019\u2019 d\u2019hcnneur.II Les

l\u2019invasion par trois étonnantes victoires d\u2019avant-garde, trois années de suite.Maintenant, il se voyait acculé à la crise suprême.Le peuple était affamé, pendant qu\u2019un intendant corrompu et ses complices préê- levaient encore leur honteux tribut sur ses dernières ressources.Sur le papier Veffectif militaire faisait quelque figure, et Français et Canadiens avaient de la vaillance à revendre.Mais le gouverneur ajoutait la malveillancà jalouse aux autres désavantages d\u2019un commandement partagé.Les navires qui apportaient les derniers ordres de la cour étaient les premiers arrivés depuis huit mois.La vieille France et la nouvelle se trouvaient complètement séparées par mille lieues de mer hostile, dont l\u2019étreinte invisible et implacable emprisonnait depuis longtemps Québec.Au mois de juin, l\u2019amiral Saunders remontait le fleuve Saint-Lau- rent à la tête de la plus grande flotte qu\u2019il y eut alors au monde.Il était une des étoiles de la marine, qui comptait cependant tant de renommés commandants.Autour de lui on remarquait le futur lord Saint-Vincent, le futur capitaine Cook, qui fit la première carte anglaise du fleuve, et plusieurs autres, destinés à une brillante carrière.Sa flotte comprenait un quart de toutes les forces maritimes de l\u2019Angleterre, et, en comptant ses convois, s\u2019élevait à 277 voiles.Admirable- RP I TEE ests

colossal entre les lacs immenses et l\u2019immense océan.Er ce détroit de Québec, était le digne champs de rencontre de l'Ancien et du Nouveau-Monde.Car la porte de l\u2019ouest conduisait au réseau des voies fluviales de l\u2019Amérique, tandis que celle de l\u2019est s\u2019cuvrait toute grande sur les sept mers.Cependant Montcalm avait fait tout ce qui lui était possible contre les faux amis et les ennemis déclarés.Il avait repoussé l\u2019assœut de Wolfe à Montmorency, et tenu celui-ci en échec dans tous les mouvements que lon pouvait deviner à travers l\u2019impénétrable rideau de la flotte anglaise.Une semaine avant la bataille il avait envoyé un régiment garder les hauteurs d\u2019Abraham; et la veille même, il lui avait ordonné de se porter à la tête du sentier par oil Wolfe déboucha le lendemain matin.Mais le gouverneur donna encore un contre-ordre.\u201cLes voila ol ils n\u2019ont aucun droit de se trouver\u2019, dfit sans doute s\u2019écrier Montcalm, en piquant des deux pour aller reconnaître le mur de rouges fantassins qui avait si soudainement jailli sur les plaines.Il n'avait pas d\u2019autres alternatives qu'une action immédiate.Il parcourt le front de sa ligne de bataille, jetant à chaque régiment quelques paroles entraînantes.Quand il demandait aux soldats s\u2019ils étaient fatigués : \u2018\u2018Nous ne le sommes jamais avant une bataille\u2019\u2019, lui répondaient-ils.Et tous les rangs montraient autant d\u2019impatience d\u2019en venir aux mains que les Anglais eux-mêmes.Montcalm, à cheval dceminait ses bataillons, et apparaissait comme le dernier grand francais du monde occidental.Jamais il n\u2019occupa une place aussi haute dans les âmes viriles, qu\u2019en ce jour fatal.Et au moment où il passait devant ses
