Collège Montmorency

During that siege, a dangerous and difficult service was necessary to be performed.

This was to take the soundings in the channel of the River St. Lawrence between the island of Orléans and the north shore, directly in the front of the French fortified camp at Montmorency and Beauport, in order to enable the admiral to place ships against the enemy's batteries.

and to cover our army in a general attack which the heroic wolf intended to make on the camp.

Captain Palliser, in consequence of his acquaintance with Mr. Cook's sagacity and resolution, recommended him to the service, and he performed it in the most complete manner.
