Should a detachment be unavoidably detained at a halting station, 
the officer commanding must immediately transmit a telegraphic Memos, &’c. 
message to that effect to the station in his front and rear to be passed 
along the entire line of route, so as to prevent confusion by crowding 
at any of the stations, but the detachments in front are not to be 
detained thereby. Another telegraphic message must be sent in like 
manner when the detachment causing the detention is ready to 
proceed, and the parties in rear will then continue their march. 
Should telegraphic offices not be established at any of the halting 
stations, a messenger must be despatched. 
The detachment proceeding from Fort Ingall to Riviere-du-loup, 
should telegraph their probable time of arrival to the latter station, in 
order that the railway carriages may be in readiness for the party, and 
hot tea or coffee provided for the men. 
One pair of moccasins per man will be issued to detachments of 
troops proceeding up country from St John, and the officer com¬ 
manding each detachment will give a receipt for the same. 
At Fredericton, Woodstock, and Little Falls, these moccasins will 
be handed over to the issuer of stores at the station, who will give a 
receipt for them to the officer in charge of the party, to wiiom he 
will issue a similar number for the use of the men, and for which he 
will take a receipt. This arrangement will be carried out along the 
whole line from St John to the Biviere-du-loup, where they will be 
returned.
