Colonel Robert Monckton, a regular officer, son of an Irish peer, who always showed an ineffable superiority to provincial officers serving under him, was placed in charge of the work. He ordered the male inhabitants of the neighborhood of Beausejour to meet him there on the 10th of August. Only about one-third of them came some four hundred.
At Fort Beauséjour the treacherous priest Le Loutre continued to pursue his insidious designs of creating dissatisfaction among the French Acadians and pressing on them the necessity of driving the English from the former possessions of France.
There was a guest chamber and no guest for the pupils to practice on. And it would be an honor, etc. We drove out to Passy and I found the École Feminine in the Boulevard Beauséjour all and more than Mlle. Thompson had taken the time to portray in detail.
The sky was cloudlessly blue, but as I gazed up into a patch of it, where a winged machine flew high with a humming song, five tiny white clouds appeared quite suddenly. "They are shelling him," said the commandant. "Pretty close too." Invisible in the winged machine was a French aviator, reconnoitring the German lines away over Beausejour.
"What would you think, now," said Lecorbeau, suggestively, "if the English should take it into their slow heads not to wait for all this to happen? What would you do up there in the fort if some ships were to sail up to-morrow and land a little English army under Beausejour? How long would Beausejour hold out?
Braddock would proceed with his attack upon Fort Duquesne, Shirley would see that the forces of New England seized Beauséjour and De Lancey would have Colonel William Johnson to move upon Crown Point and then Niagara. Acadia also would be taken. Dinwiddie after Shirley was the most vigorous of the governors, and he promised that the full force of Virginia should be behind Braddock.
This night we must sleep on the shore of the stream and find us a new home at Beausejour. To the sheds, Pierre, and yoke the cattle. Hurry, boy, hurry, for there is everything to do and small time for the doing of it." From Lecorbeau's cottage the news of Le Loutre's decree spread like wildfire through the settlement.
The French constructed on the northern bank of the Missiquash a fort of five bastions known as Beauséjour, and a smaller one at Bay Verte, with the object, as previously stated, of keeping up communication with Louisbourg, which they were strengthening in some measure.
From the River du Loup by a portage of 18 leagues to Lake Temiscouata. From Madaoechka to Grand Falls. From Grand Falls to Medoctek. From Ecouba to Jemsec. From Jemsec, leaving the River St. From Petkoudiak to Memeramcouk descending the river which bears that name. From Nechkak to Beausejour."
They were all overjoyed at the leniency of the English; but a blow more terrible than any that had yet befallen them was hanging over this most unhappy people. Among the English officers encamped at Beausejour was the slim young lieutenant who had led the band of avengers at Kenneticook.
