Montgomery's forces were to carry out all the preliminary parts alone.

Montgomery's thousand were said to be five thousand, with many more to follow.

They had ample time to set the trap; for an incessant nor'-easter blew up the St Lawrence day after day and held Carleton fast in Montreal, while, only a league away, Montgomery's main body was preparing to cross over.

Montgomery's advance was greatly aided by the little flotilla which Easton had captured at Sorel.

Wolfe's escape naturally caused a postponement of Montgomery's design and a further council of war.

These men, Antell and Price, were really responsible for the final plan, which, like its predecessor, did not meet with Montgomery's approval.

Livingston's and Jerry Duggan's whole command numbered about four hundred men, Montgomery's five hundred, Arnold's six.

Nor were the mere numbers the most telling point about it; for the worse half escapedLivingston's Montreal 'patriots,' many of whom had done very little fighting, Montgomery's time-expired New Yorkers, most of whom wanted to go home, and Jerry Duggan's miscellaneous rabble, all of whom wanted a maximum of plunder with a minimum of war.

It was Montgomery's.

Thompson kept Montgomery's sword, which was given to the Livingston family more than a century later.

The Americans received various small reinforcements, which eventually brought their total up to what it had been under Montgomery's command.

On hearing of Montgomery's defeat the Continental Congress had passed a resolution, addressed to the 'Inhabitants of Canada' declaring that 'we will never abandon you to the unrelenting fury of your and our enemies.'

Twenty or twenty-four years ago we had nothing but the vaguest knowledge of Kafiristan, but the country had been gradually opened out by General Walker and Colonel Montgomery's pundits in disguise.

The blows were almost simultaneousa savage swing which whistled past Montgomery's ear, and a straight drive which took the workman on the chin.

The only part of Montgomery's training which came within the doctor's observation was his diet, and that puzzled him considerably.

Montgomery's head was still singing from the blow that he had in the corner, and one of his thumbs pained him acutely and seemed to be dislocated.

JAMES MONTGOMERY'S "THE COMMON LOT" (See Letter 535, page 938)

I wrote the following lines in memory of my father: The drum no more shall rouse his heart to beat with patriot fires, Nor to his kindling eye impart the flash of martial ires: Montgomery's fall, Burgoyne's advance, awake no transient fear; E'en joy be dumb that noble France grasped in our cause the spear.

We cannot forbear, with him, from quoting Montgomery's lines on the labors of the coral-worms, which modern science has enabled us to study in our parlors.

So, as Macaulay says of Montgomery's literary thefts, may such ill-got gains ever prosper.

This bight was named, at Mr. Montgomery's request, in compliment to the late Captain Sir George Collier, Bart., K.C.B., R.N. During the greater part of the night the wind was light, and by the bearings of a fire on the land we were making but little drift.

After doing this I hoped to be able to continue the examination of the deep bay behind Montgomery's Islands, and connect that part with the gulf or strait behind the Buccaneer's Archipelago in which we now were; but our loss of anchors made all this very dangerous and, indeed, nothing could be done without very fine weather, of which there was at present unfortunately no appearance.

Daylight refuses to follow you into the blackened basement; and the shouts of Montgomery's sacking horde seem to linger in the mighty hollows overhead.
