274 HISTORY OF NORTHAMPTON. [1755. that had been down at the Flats all the time. About 14 sick when they left. Friday, 3. A warm pleasant day. Two men buried today who belonged to Col. Titcomb's regiment. There are many now in camp who are sick. Gen. Johnson is much amiss with a violent pain in his head. Saturday. 4^'\ A pleasant morning but the sky soon covered with clouds and cold N, wind, some rain. Mr. Williams went down to Fort Head in the afternoon. Col. Gil- bert went with him and so fled to the horns of the altar, and left his flag here standing, which he set so much by and one night some person took it away, and set it up where it ought to be at Col. Williams' tent. Gilbert in the morning brought it back and said he had rather they had taken his head off. Sabbath day, 5*'^ Oct. This a cloudy day. Mr. Emerson, chaplain for the New Hampshire regiment preached and prayed with us that night and Monday morning to very good acceptance. Sergeant Bardwell came today and brought some good tidings from the County of Hampshire. Monday, 6"'. A fair weather day. Our fort goes on well. Col. Blanchard, Col. Willard, Mr. Emerson and the whole of that regiment (except Capt. Symes and Capt. Rogers who are to stay here at the fort all the winter with each of them a company of volunteers that they think they can raise for that purpose) are gone home. Tuesday, 7"\ A fair day. Major Hore came tonight from Boston his flag much lowered from what it was when he went away, wholly losing his journey and his raised expectations of so many commissions for field officers in Col. Ruggles regiment being all disappointed. The famous insulting Col. Gilbard who so much lotted upon a commission over the late Col. Williams regiment, though to the dissatisfaction of the whole regiment, one night some person moved the flag from before his door, and set it up at the late Col. Williams tent where it ought to stand. Gilbard in the morning was so enraged at it that he sent a file of men to fetch it and set it up before his own door threatened many, but could get no proof, declared that he had rather they had taken off his head, and now he is obliged to go off and leave house and flag ; the house he had built.
1755.] FOURTH FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR. 275 the flag tliat his honor so much depended upon to his shame. Wednesday, 8''' October. An unhappy accident occurred todaj'' ; a gun fired ofl: sliot a man in the thigli so that it is thought he would die. About 4 of the clock in the afternoon a very liard thunder storm arose. Some of our people on the lakes with battoes came near being cast away but did recover. A tree was struck with lightning which stood within a rod or two of three tents, but nobody was hurt. One tree- blew down upon one shelter and liked to have killed 2 or 3 men but all escaped with their lives, but re- ceived some wounds but none mortal. Wonderful interpositions of Divine Providence are daily passing before my eyes in the deliverance from sudden death by accident. Surely we carry our lives in our hands. Thursday, 9"\ 1755. A fair day. A number of waggons and some of the Connecticut troops, Col. Chaucer and Col. Dyer came today. At four of the clock in the afternoon a Council of War sat to consider of sundry articles ; viz, whether we should go to take possession of Ticonderoga, or march for Crown Point immediately answered in the negative, the reasons : 1. We wanted both provisions and men. 2. Whether we should take off any of the men from building the fort to work at the great boat—answered no there not being tools enough for both purposes, so determined the work at the fort must not be stopped. I hear today that Maj. Foot who went from hence about a fortnight ago, came to Albany, was taken sick, but having a great desire to get home, an opportunity presented to go on board a vessel down the river, getting out of a hot bed got a relapse and was carried back to the house from whence he came, and died last Sabbath day. A good honest gentleman, his death is much lamented. Instances of the frailty of human nature are constantly passing before my eyes. Friday, 10'*'. Today moved into the house that the famous Col. Gilbard built when he reigned. Find it very convenient, having got rid of Col. Gilbard's tyranny, in- vited all the commission officers in my regiment in the evening to drink with me and it appeared to be a time of universal satisfaction with the officers but I am still in an ill state of health by reason of a cold. —
