Show TRAVELS THROUGII LOvVER CANADA: determined to fail on all night. A {hart time after fun-fet we pafft.:d the boundary between the Britif11 dominion and the United State • Here we were brought to by an armed brig of twenty guns, under Eng- 1i01 colours, {htionecl for the purpofc..: of enmining :tll boats pa01ng up r~ nd down the lake: the anfwers which we gave to the feveral qudlions afk.cd being fati sfaB:ory, we were accordingly fuffered to pro eed. Since the furrcnd cr of the pofl:s, purfuant to the late treaty with the Uniteci States, this brig has been removed, and laid up at St. John's. When night came on, we wrapped ourfelves up in our blankets, as we had clone on the firfr night of our voyage, and laid down upon the cabin floor, where we might poflibly have flept until we got to St. John's, had we not been awakened at midnight by the loud hollas of the fcntinel at the Briti{h fort on Ifle aux Noix. On examining into the matter, it appeared that the boat had been driven on {hore, while our flcepy pilot enjoyed his nap at the helm; and the ceotinel, unable to imagine what we were about, feeing the boat run up clofe under the fort, and fufpicious of fome attack, I fuppofe, had turned out the whole guard, by whom, after being examined an , re-exam.ined, we were finally difmiffed. W c now took the command of the boat upon ourfclves, for the boatman, although he was more anxious to get to St. John's than any one of us, and though he had himfdf in fomc meafure induced us to go on, was fo fleepy that he could not keep his eyes open; relieving each other .at the ' helm, we reached St. John's by day-break, one hundred and fifty miles difb.nt from Skendborough. Immediately on our landing we were conducted to the guard houfe, where we had to deliver to the fe1jcant on duty, to be by him forwarded ·to the commanding officer, an account of our name , occupation, and place of abode, the firiB:dl: orders having been ifTucd by the governor not to fuffer any Frenchmen or other foreigners, or any people who could not give an exact account of their bufinefs in Canada, to enter into th~ country. St. John's is a garrifon town; it contains about fifty miferable wooden -dwellings, and barrack, in which :1 whole regiment is generally quartc..:red. The fortifications are entirely out of order, fo mu.ch fo that it would be cheaper |
