fifty feet. The whole is surmounted by a figure of Nelson in the attitude
in which he stood at the moment of receiving his death wound. His left

together with branches, and within this was a covering of birch bark,
beneath which was placed the body, covered with sand. Blueberry Point
is seen in the distance in the picture. Drawn by W. H. Bartlett. Engraved

of considerable importance as a fortified post, commanding the line of
approach by the Champlain Valley. In the campaigns of 1776-7 St. John's
was one of the chief bases of supply for the troops of Burgoyne and Carle-
ton. The bridge connects the town with St. Athanase on the opposite
