CORRESPONDENT WITH THE rill FUSILIERS] . 1 tllark's Crossing, June 12th, '85. Since writing to you there has been such important events tran.pir.. tug that we have been almost lost sight of, but uow that there is a lull ' iu the storm I think it would interest many of your readers to learn the particulars of our trip of 820 miles down the Saskatchewan. I will not speak of what is transpiring at the rout, hotlines most readersknow what is taking place muoh better and tong before we do; tut I will speak more particularly of the internal working of this Battalion, so that those who read may form some idea of what a soldier must be prepared to do. Of course we have tasted the most dista►teful part of a soldier's life, (namely, lots of work and no fighting), bot I think 1no.t people will admit we have done our duty and dorso it well. We left Swift Current on the morn- ing of the Otb of May. Reveille al 4 o'aleak a. m., and by 8 o'clock,we had struck our touts, baggage loaded, and breakfast oaten, ready for the fall in to sound, In a few minutes the fall - in sounded, and, as if by magic five lines of red appeared on the parade ground. After a short address from Gen. Laurie, in which he expressed the satisfactrou the men had given him while under hie command ; the advance was Bounded and away we started for a thirty-five mile trip across the prairie. No 1 Company formed the advance guard, after them the Pioneers and the Bugle band, then the remainder of the Battalion in ro- tation. We were accompanied about two miles by a viper from the Halifas Battalion, who played tate same pipes and eanie tune as played the 42nd in- to Sebastapool. We male twenty- one miles the first day and Damped for the night beside a slough of very good water. Next morning, May 10.h, we were again on the march by 8 o'clock, and reached the landing about 12 o'clock. No 2 Company formed the advance guard on the sec- ond days march, No 1 taking the head of the column. On our arrival at the landing tt e found eleven scows loaded with oats and hay, which we were supposed to take down the rider to Clarke, Crossing. Long before the usual bed -time most of the men had rolled themselves i+, their biankets so as to get as much rest as possible in anticipation of the fatigue of the morrow. Monday morning, May 11th, we were up at 8:30 o'clock, and from then until 8 o'clock everything was hurry and bustle, and to an out- sider it would have seemed confusion; but every man had his work to do, and every man y44 bis work, All the baggage was loaded and ten days ra- tions were placed on the scows, but unfortunately, they were not evenly.. distributed amongst the scows, and before the end of the journey some of them were completely 'out of provis-- i.:ns. At nine o'clock we were all on board, and after three rousing cheers, the lines were cleat off and we were .lou floating demi the river, at the rate of about five milell au hour. We had proceeded but about a mile down the stream, when the leading *cow etuo'k an a sand bar, and every sooty' went peat her, and she was neither seen nor beard from again until .he' caught up to the others at Saskatoon, 15 miles up the river from here. The scows Were poorly constructed, and proved to be very unwieldy. They were couatruoted oat of pine brought from Winnipeg, being about 20 ft;, wide, 45 ft long and about 8 ft deep,. They were loaded up even with the top with oats. and our baggage had to be put on beside that, and when all wee en they drew about 18 in. (Mee ,'t water, experience has since taught tie that they ebauld have boeu howled to draw 12 iucbee of cater only, as many bars would have bean palmed safely if we bad drawer but 12 inches, whereas draw: ing 18 inches we had innumerable stoppages and n great deal of cold, heavy Rork. The General bad or- dered eta to proceed dowu the river tied together iu pairs, but before many hour. we fout,d that imprita. ticable, and they were cut !twee, each one lacking out for itself. and here it was the mistake had beeu made with the rations, It way expected that the scows would proceed down in pairs, and all keep cioso togeth- er, and acting an this theory the rations were not distributed evenly, 80030 ecowe having twice as much as Aare, consequently *onus had far mare than was uocessary to carry them through, while others lead not enough. I will give a brief account of the trip made by the now on which aha writer of this letter wa' ; and the experience of alt was very mush iho same. The Brat day out wo were stuck three times ; twice we managed to got out by nndreasing and getting in the w.tter, but the third time we were compelled to remain on the bar all night. Our cook tried to get ashore to mako some tea, but was unable to return on account of the swiftness of the water, which bad drifted him a long way down the river before be made the shore ; he was forced to ro• main on the shore all night, while we were forded to drink the river water or else eat dry hard tacit and canned corned beef. Tuesday morning, May 12, we were up at three o'clock, with the expectation of having to plunge into the cold water in order to get off the bar, but we found that the water_ during the night had cut a channel:. through the bar at one end of the - scow and we got through with but- little trouble. A. mile or so down the . river we pinked up the cook and had:. some good hot tea. Soon after the., sun rose, makiug the air warm, and, pleasant. We stunk nine times dor-• ing the day, and were up to our waists. in water every time, in order to get her clear. The saud bottom of these. bars consists of a series of ridges, the water for ten or twenty feet being. perhaps twelve inches deep, and then perhaps one step will take you into water waist deep, and a few more - steps will take you into shallow water again. Adjutant Reid discovered this the first day we were out ; the boat which ho was commanning trot fast on a bar, and the weather being a little cold, the men were a little slow getting iuto the water. Mr. Reid, to set them an example, rolled up his trowseis and jumped into the water,. expecting to And it a foot deep, but he had not investigated close enough and in place of finding 12 inches (he wont clear over head. We eucoune. tared a bad bar about 4 o'clock in the afternoon and were about an hour and a half in the water before we got clear, when we get in the, a, cow after getting clear we were so• benumbed with she oold water as tea be almost helpless: [CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK] •-..+.
