CANADIAN GUIDE BOOK. 85 the 13th, they arrived at a cove below Siilery, now for ever celebrat ed as Wolfe’s Cove, which was the place chosen for the disem barkation. The light infantry, which had been carried a short distance below by the rapidity of the tide, were the first that landed, and, scrambling up the woody precipice, the ascent of which was so difficult that the soldiers were obliged to pull themselves up by the roots and boughs of trees, displaced a French guard at the top under the command of Captain De Verger, which defended the narrow path, and thereby enabled the rest of the division to reach the summit. The boats in the meantime had returned for the second division under Brigadier General Townshend, which arrived and land ed in like good order. General Wolfe was with the first division, and he was one of the first on shore.

After more than two months of solicitude the object of his long and anxious wishes was before him ; his only remaining hope was that Montcalm would give him battle ; of the result he entertained no doubt. The hour of triumph so long sought for, so eagerly expected, was at hand ; he was determined that day to decide the supremacy of England or France, in America, before the walls of her most im portant fortress.

The battle-ground presents almost a level surface from the brink of the St. Lawrence to the St. Foy road. The Grand AlUe, or road to Cap Rouge, H
