companies of the regiments, with those of the 22nd, 40th, and 45th
(at Louisburg), and also the light infantry companies, were formed
into separate corps as usual. The fortress was far too strong to be
assaulted frontally, with a wide river covering it, and to pass that
at any time in boats was a risky and difficult operation. But the
rear of the town was but weakly defended, and faced an open plain,
which was regarded as practically unassailable, owing to the steep
and almost precipitous nature of the approaches to it. It was due,
it is said, to a Scottish officer called Macculloch that the design
to attack on this side was formed; and it was executed with much
difficulty, though with the greatest good fortune, as the river bank
was guarded by sentries. But these were evaded, and when Wolfe landed,
the obstacles to the advance even there were such that Wolfe exclaimed
to one of the Highland officers, “I do not believe, sir, there is any
possibility of getting up, but you must now do your best.” And they
did so. Slinging their muskets the Frasers gained the summit by sheer
hard climbing, and, driving back a piquet, seized a path by which the
other troops mounted; so that when the sun rose, it shone on Wolfe’s
line of regiments in contiguous columns advancing against Quebec.
