[" [=] ILLUSTRATED | ILLUSTRATED SUPPLEMENT A SUPPLEMENT 0 voL.VIII.No.41.\u2014\u2014 100 Years Ago Sir Isaac Brock Laid Down His Life in Repulsing American Invaders at Queenston Heights PE NN MONTREAL, CANADA, OCTOBER 12, 1912.171 ST.JAMES STREET.a : swayed tussocks of tall grass and the trampled heads of wild-flowers.The shouts of the regulars, the clamor of the militia, the shrill war-cry of the Mohawks, and the organ notes of battle, were his requiem.Then the corpse ; was hurriedly borne by a few grief- e, stricken men of the 49th to a house in à, .the village, occupied by Laura Secord ly & \u2014the future heroine of Lundy\u2019s Lane\u2014 where, concealed by blankets\u2014owing to the presence of the enemy\u2014it was allowed to remain for some hours, un- visited.Later in the day Major Glegg, Brock\u2019s faithful aide\u2014the brave Macdonell, in extreme agony, lay dying of his wounds \u2014hastened to the spot, and finding the body of his lamented friend undisturbed, conveyed it to Niagara, \u201cwhere it was bedewed by weeping friends whose hearts were agonized with bitterest sorrow.\u201d Brock was killed in action at about half-past seven on the morning of October 13th, 1812.His body was removed from Government House, Niagara, to a cavalier bastion at Fort George, for final sepulchre.This bastion was selected by Major Glegg, it being the one which Brock\u2019s own genius had lately suggested\u2014the one from which the range of an observer\u2019s vision covered the principal points of ap- proach\u2014and had just been finished under his daily superintendence.After he fell, the handful of men who were with him overcome by his tragic end, overwhelmed by superior numbers and a hurricane of buckshot and bullets, wavered, and though Dennis attempted to rally them, fell back and retreated to the far end of Queenston village.Here, about two hours later, Colonel Macdonell, Brock\u2019s aide, collected and reformed the scattered units, and made another bold dash to rescale the heights and retake the redan.A detailed account of the incidents that followed in dramatic succession would fill a book.With the cry of \u201cRevenge the General!\u201d from the men of the 49th, Mac- donell, on Brock\u2019s charger, led the forlorn attack, supported by Dennis.At the same moment, Williams, with his etachment, emerged f i i i r shouting to his men, A A THE BATTLE OF QUEENSTON HEIGHTS\u2014This illustration is a reproduction of a curious old print, the sketch for which was drawn by a brother officer right, my lads;

Dennis, suffering from a severe head wound, at first refused to quit the field, but Cameron having removed the sorely-stricken Macdonell, and Williams having recovered consciousness and escaped, the dispirited men fell back, retreated down the mountain at Parrott\u2019s Tavern, retiring upon Vrooman\u2019s battery.Here they awaited, unmolested, until two in the afternoon, the arrival of reinforcements from Fort George.The fight, though short, had been furious and deadly.Americans and British alike were glad to take breath.Meanwhile, unobserved, young Brant, BROCK\u2019S COCKED HAT\u2014This hat was worn by Brock at the Battle of \u201c\u2014/ \u2018 with 120 Mohawk Indians, had scaled Queenston Heights.Persons interested in military matters will observe Ts : the mountain, east of St.David's, out- ;
