Excerpt from Extract From a Manuscript Journal, Relating to the Operations Before Quebec in 1759
Sunday, lst. J uly.~ - The French sent some floating batteries from the other side of the river to play upon us; the Regi ments were ordered to stand to their arms. I was ordered with Ensign Mc. Kenzie to the colours, and they cannonaded us for about half an hour. There were four of our Regiment killed and eight wounded and one Sergeant of the 15th. Regiment and eight of the Colour's Company were knocked down with one ball, behind the Colours, and all wounded, two I believe, mortally. This day, we pitched our tents at Point Levy.
