Off Flat’ Point is the Blue Division, Detachments of the Left 
Wing, Brigadier General Laurence, Colonel Wilmot, Lieut. Col. 
Handfield; Majors Hamilton and Hussey. In front (centre) the 
Shannon, frigate; on the right Diana, frigate ; on the left Gram- 
ment, frigate. 
Off Kennington Cove is the Red Division, Grenadiers, Irregu- 
lars, Light Infantry, Highlanders. Brigadier General Wolfe ; 
Colonels Fraser, Fletcher, Murray; Majors Murray, Scott, Far- 
quhar. In front is the Kennington Frigate. On the left (front) 
between the troops and the land is the Halifax, snow. On the 
shore about 4 of a mile N. W. of the Kennington ig “(A) the 
place where the English landed.” 
About sunrise the Kennington and Halifax, snow, began to fire, 
this was followed by the Gramment, Diana and Shannon in the 
centre, and the Sutherland and Squirrel on the right. After a 
quarter of an hour’s firing the boats upon the left rowed into 
shore, commanded by General Wolfe. Lieuts. Brown and Hop- 
kins and Ensign Grant, with about 100 light iafantry, gained the 
shore over almost impracticable rocks and steeps to the right of 
the cove (A). General Wolfe directed the remainder of his com- 
mand to push on shore. Light Infantry, Highlanders and 
Grenadiers rushed on intermixed. General Whitmore with his 
command made a feint of landing at White Point. General 
Laurence’s division did the same at Fresh Water Cove. The 
enemy's attention was thus drawn to every part and prevented 
from concentrating at Kennington Cove. General Wolfe having 
landed at the left of-the cove, attacked the enemy and forced 
them to retreat. As soon as this division was landed, the centre 
and the right division followed. The pursuit ended with a can- 
nonading from the town. This seemed to indicate the range 
and position for encampment. In our chart we have “The 
encampment of British troops during the siege in 1758.” It is 
in the form of the half of an ellipse. The south-west end is at 
Flat Point or Artillery Cove. The north-east is near a small 
rook that enters Barasoi and the harbour. Its extremities are 
distant two miles. The middle is nearly two miles distant from 
the city fortifications. Then we have Greenhill half a mile west
