A moment after I fired, Beaujeu
halted and waved his bat above his
head, and the Indians scattered to left

enemy was retreating had not the
Canadians and regulars remained to
hold the road against us.
While I wus reloading, Mr. Gordon

were In for something more than a
skirmish when a heavy fire opened on
us from ahead and from both sides.
Bound Paw and I both hugged the
ground and retired to the right.
A terrific howling and yelling was
started by the savages, a sinister
chorus thut encompas-sed the roud for
some dlstunce. Guge's troops seemed
to be confused by the fiendish clamor
and the Invisibility of the foe. The
men staggered under the cruel fire,
then rullied and began emptying their
muskets In volleys. But there was
nothing to shoot at except the slim
French force ahead. Before they could
fall back from the Jaws of the trap.
8L C lair’s working force came up on
the run to pile confusion on confusion.
Gage felt the reinforcements behind
him and ordered his men to charge
straight ahead and eliminate the
Frenchmen. The head of his column
was speedily wiped out, and the rest
were suilly staggered by the fierce
fire.

General Braddock persisted In sending
heavy masses of men up the road,
whereas he should have fallen hack

During this portion of the fight, the

sions we were charged by small bunds
of suvuges, but the second unexpected
shot from behind the same tree al­
ways spoiled the attack and sent the
red man back to where the killing wus
easier.

Then occurred the definite shift In
