A few days ago the forces of evil again approached Viagara on the Lake. They got as far as Eddy Grundy's farm on the 4th Concession Road, close to the junction with the side road know as Grundy's Lane, but were driven back by a force of regulars and left a pair of guns behind.
On hearing that the noisy neighbours were attempting to recover the guns, Major Brackenreid, Captain Murdoch and the local garrison set out to frustrate their plans.
A remarkably slim looking Captain Canon leads his riflemen sneakily "adroitly"* around the flank of Brackenreid's position.
Captain Murdoch guards the guns as Brackenreid is driven back across the ploughed field by US musketry.
Captain Rockford's light company skirmishers in the wood across the road duel with Pendrick's locals on the first floor of the Grundy house.
As is now customary in these affairs, Sergeant Crabtree and his Voltigeurs Canadiens are as yet nowhere to be found.
*Fake news
'sneakily', manoeuvres adroitly if you please!
