Among the volunteers who served in this expedition was Nathaniel Knap, of Newbury. He sailed from Portsmouth, N.H., on Monday, the third day of April, and arrived at Halifax April 10, 1758, at about nine o'clock P.M. He was occupied in cutting timber and building bridges and block houses, until Admiral Boscawen, with his fleet of transports, after a long and tedious passage, came to anchor in the harbor on the ninth day of May .*
On Sunday, the twenty-eighth day of May, the fleet, with all the troops on board, sailed from Halifax, and arrived at Gabarus bay on the second of June. General Wolfe, with about twelve hundred men, made a landing at Freshwater cove, four miles from the town of Louisbourg, on the morning of June eighth, and succeeded in capturing an outpost near the shore, defended by a regiment of French soldiers, who, after a fierce contest, abandoned all their cannon and fled into the woods.
Strong batteries were erected at favorable points on the low wooded hills in that neighborhood, and heavy guns and mortars soon opened fire on the French ships and on the island battery that guarded the entrance to the harbor. After a long and desperate fight, the island guns were dismounted and silenced. The attack on the fort was then commenced in good earnest, and a heavy cannonade directed against the town. The roar of mortars and cannons continued night and day for more than a month longer. Breaches were made in the walls of the fort, and the town itself was almost com- pletely destroyed. July 26, 1758, the garrison surrendered,
* Some of the most important events connected with the movement of troops and the surren- der of Louisbourg were recorded by Nathaniel Knap in a diary, published by the Society of Colonial Wars in 1895. A brief biographical sketch of Nathaniel Knap, with some extracts from the diary, may be found in "Ould Newbury," pp. 484-491.

HISTORY OF NEWBURY
and the officers and men were sent to England, prisoners of war, in British ships. Subsequently, the merchants and other inhabitants of the town were taken to France, and all that remained of the fortifications at Louisbourg was demolished.
Now a few scattered dwellings dot the rough hills, bristled with stunted firs, that gird the quiet basin; while close at hand, within the precinct of the vanished fortress, stand two small farmhouses. All else is a solitude of ocean, rock, marsh and forest. ...
Here stood Louisbourg ; and not all the efforts of its conquerors, nor all the havoc of succeeding times, have availed to efface it. Men in hundreds toiled for months with lever, spade, and gunpowder in the work of destruction, and for more than a century it has served as a stone quarry ; but the remains of its vast defences still tell their tale of human valor and human woe .*
EXPEDITIONS TO CROWN POINT.
Although France retained possession of Canada and Acadia by the terms of the treaty concluded at Aix-la-Chapelle in 1748, the boundary line of the English colonies in America, from the Ohio river to the gulf of St. Lawrence, was left un- settled, and led to a renewal of hostilities in 1754, although war was not actually declared until 1756.
William Shirley, governor of the province of Massachusetts Bay, sent an armed force under the command of Major-general John Winslow, of Marshfield, in 1754, to build a fort on the Kennebec river. Jacob March, of Newbury, served as surgeon of the expedition from June third to September twenty-first. The fort was completed on the third day of September, and called Fort Halifax .¡
Early in the spring of 1755, preparations were made for an attack on Crown Point by an armed force of nearly thirty-five hundred men, under the command of Gen. William Johnson.
Moses Titcomb, of Newbury, who had served with honor in the campaign of 1745 at Louisbourg, was appointed colonel of an Essex county regiment, and ordered to march with his troops in the expedition to Lake George and Crown Point.#

LOUISBOURG, CROWN POINT, AND QUEBEC
The regiment attended service in the meeting-house of the Third parish in Newbury on the twenty-second day of May, 1755, and listened to a sermon by the Rev. John Lowell, from the text, " For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you."
In the battle that began between eleven and twelve o'clock on the eighth day of September, 1755, at Lake George, Col- onel Titcomb had command of the extreme right wing of General Johnson's army. The French forces, defeated, fled into the woods, leaving their baggage and military supplies unprotected. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, while the battle was raging furiously, and the noise of musketry was heard all along the line, Colonel Titcomb was shot and in- stantly killed by a party of Indians, who were concealed in a swamp about eighty rods distant .*
General Johnson, slightly wounded, was borne from the field at the beginning of the battle; and the attack on the fort at Crown Point was, by his order, abandoned until a more con- venient season.
Samuel Blodget, a trader in Boston and a sutler in the army, made a plan of the battlefield, which was engraved by Thomas Johnston, and published by Richard Draper in 1755.t The plan is reproduced on the next page. The position of the troops and other points of interest are marked on the plan to correspond with the figures in the following list : -
6. Canadians and Indians
7. French regulars attacking
8. Road
9. Provincials in action
IO. Trees felled for breast works 21 Baggage wagons
II. Cannon.

At a conference of the governors of Massachusetts, Con- necticut, New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland, held De- cember 12, 1755, another expedition to Crown Point was agreed upon ; and the General Court of the province of Mas- sachusetts Bay voted to raise thirty-five hundred men to be placed with other provincial troops under the command of Gen. John Winslow, of Marshfield. Owing to the capture of the fort at Oswego, early in the spring of 1756, by the French general, Montcalm, the attack on Crown Point was again deferred, and the troops remained inactive in the vicinity of Lake Champlain until their term of enlistment expired.
The Newbury men who served in this expedition were en- rolled in two companies and credited with ten months' ser- vice in the regiment commanded by Col. Jonathan Bagley, who was stationed at Fort William Henry on Lake George, and employed during the summer of 1756 in building three sloops and several hundred whale-boats for the transportation of troops and munitions of war to Ticonderoga.t
