Ilaving iissurcd lier my slork of palicnce in tliis

following narrativo:
'Detroit, in 1812, scnrccly desorvcd tlio naine
of town, for it wns in rraliiy but a small illago.
Tlic old lown had been burncd to llio giounil, and
llie inhabit.ints wero obliged In build siir.li liuuscs

bcro nnd tbcrc, on tlic ollier slrccts; nnd nrnuud
tlio wholc, wbich wna small coniparcd willi lls
picsent dinionsions, was a stnckadu of lall picltcts,
ns a prolcction from tlic ludinns. I'ctwci'ii llie
town and Ihc fort was a beauliful esplanado, whero
tlio troops wero diilled nnd cxcrcised. Tlion camo

for deslruclion and defoncc. On ihc west cidu of
llio fort was llio cantonmpnt, liuilt around a ncat
rourt, wilh gravel walks nnd shndo Iroos; Iwo
sidcs oflho cantonmcnt wero dwelliiigs nruflicern'
nnd soldiers' f.imilies, llio othcr two fiides wero
barracks. At llie west cnd of llio town, ucnr tlic
only gute of llie stockade, was tlie citr.del.a strong
block-bousc; nnd, just back of llie ciladel, a stone
niscnnl, wbich yet remains. Along llio rivcr, a
bovu and below llie city, woro tlie farnis of llie
inliabitnnla, wlio wero nioslly I'rcncli, sonio de
voted to tlio Uritish, and sonio to Anicricaii inler
csls. 'Tho morning beforo tlic surrendcr was hot and
sultry; tliu sky was ovcrspro.id wilh n llnck lia.o,
not n brealh of wind swa)cd llio drnoping foliago,
and tlie strnpgling rays of sunlight wbich now and
tlicn pierced through tlio gloom werc palo and

wilh niture; nll were lisllejs nnd unliappy. Alen
galhcied in groups about llio niarkct. placc, nnd

'Scarcely was iho morning rcpast oier, when
tlie clatlcr of a horso's hoofs was heard along llio

'Iinmedialely all was confusion. Wnmen wero

About nuon, thojnhabilnnta began to leavo tho

Near iiiidnighl wc wero pcrsuadcd lo removo

wna obliged to bo cairied to tlic dwclling housu,

I was placcd iu an uppcr rooni, a most dangcrous

'Supported hy my mollicr, I succccdcd in reach
