I believed the t'rvucb were whlp(ied,

apenklng, thnt left me depreaeed.
Whin be declared the French were
whipped, It a I moat accrued aa If be
were dwelling upon It Juat to keep bla
courage tip.
Hut the morrow brought the van
guard of the Forty fourth, and the
entire regiment waa In camp by mid
day. Then came General Uraddock
nd bla eacort of light hone, and the
druma began Uie'Grenudlera' March,
nd the arena waa gay and very cob
orfuU I forgot my gloomy mood and
buuahed with the beat of them. Two
hour later, Colonel Dunbar and the
forty-eighth marched lu, end there
waa more cheering and high aptrlta.
Now It did eeem aa If we aoon could
be about the bualneaa of driving the
French behind the Great lukca. The
trtlllery, however did not come up
end would not for another ten dnya
but what oddaT llradilork woe wllb
ua with bla two Invincible regiment.
Even though their uulfurma made
them conaplcuoua target a, the French
were too weak to eppoae them. All
that remained waa to march awlftly
to Duqueane and fly our royal banner
lo place of the Lillet,
Then e would atilft our ttrcngth
to the north and capture Magnra end
Crown I'olnt, and teach the New dig
lundera bow to fight, tn.ly hun
dred and fifty mllea remained to be
covered before France'a grip on the
Ohio would he forever removed. Ah,
but now we were In fine aplrlta thine
flrat few dnya after llraililm k reached
the creek. Ilia very auaterlty waa a
guarantee of complete auiceaa. The
colonlea were confident the fall of the
enemy wna but uintter of dnya.
Uraddock bad arranged to eend
back the latent newa by meana of
mounted expreaaea. And every Thurs
day wenlcrn hound niull-rlder wui
to atari from rhlladvlphla to over
take the army. I could vlalnn the
arrival of our express and the enthu
slaim our bulletins would arouae
when read aloud at every hostel.
And much good news wns brought
by Uraddock and bis staff. A lurge
delegation of Catnwbna and ('hero
keea were to meet men from Hie Long
Hunts at Winchester and provide ua
with an overwhelming red force. The
Catawbaa alone were to send ns a
hundred end fifty warriors. As a re
suit of the Winrheater council our
camp would be overrun with red al
lies. But do Indiana came to Join ua.
Croghnn'a belts to the lake tribes
brought ua neither Shawnee, Twlght
wee, Wsndut or I'luiikushaw. Hut,
while trifle disappointed. ' renlty
did not matter. If they would not
fight with as then aurely they would
not fight agulnat ua. They were sim
ply waiting nntll It was definitely de
cided who waa to be the winner. It
they refused to participate In active
wnrfnre, then en much the leas would
our efforts be lo smooth them down,
The French were whipped. We needed
no Indiana to aid us. To the Inspiring
tune of the"Orenndlere' March" white
men would ouat while men from Du
queane, and the bends of the Ohio
would forever be sealed against (he
French.

not well supplied wllb food. After
our first high spirits bad subsided a
bit, we began to notice something else
that might become very serious. The
regulars, upon whom Uraddock de
pended almost exclusively were
fulling III In large numbers. They had
been herded on transports and bsd
been deprived of fresh provisions.
Meat was the principal Hem of food
on the creek end It waa oversalted.
The result might have been foreseen.
The coming of (he army brought
many wondamen flocking lo (he creek,
and I began (o meet old acquaintances
who had never heard me called any
tiling except 'liiucir I'.rona. After a
day or so they would slip away while
others would lake their place to ob
serve silently end form opinions. I
frequently saw General Uraddock
walking about the camp with hla of
ficers, nnd was shocked to observe he
looked worried and discouraged. There
was much muttering end complaining
among the provincials. The com
