It was a long time before they met again. CHAPTER II.â€" Wab. Rcry hadn't long- to wait the coafirm- ation of the ramors spoken of by hia inam- orata. On the 18th of June, a feW weeks after the interview by the river, war was de- clared by Unole Ssm, and some 25,000 regulars and 50,0C0 volunteers were called out for active service. We will not go into the rights or wrongs of the war, whioh have nothing to do with this true atory, merely remarUng that the assnmption on the part of Great Britain that she had a right to search American, and ii^ fact iJl " foreign " vessels on the high seas, and take tiierefrom, nolens voleni, those of th^ crew bom under the British flag, under the plea onoe a subject always a subject, did'nt go down with the Yankees, who vowed that they would stand It no longer hence the advent of that gory monster, " Orim-Tlsaged war," among the happy and peaceable Inhabitants of Canada ana the States. In Upper Canada at this time there were about 3000 regulars, and some 1500 In the lower province, so of coarse the regular forces b^ing inadequate to tackle the Ameri- can troops a call was made for volunteers. Immediately after war was declared, that xoeedingiy stnpid and witlial incompetent oi£oer, Sir George Prevost, then command- ant in Canada and shortly afterwards got consumedly thrashed by the Yankees at Like Champlain, issued an order that all Americans should leave British soil wltldn fourteen days. The war feeling waxed exceedingly hot on both iidee, and soon the ball commenced. Among the first regiments of volunteers raised in Upper Canada was the " Glengarry Fenclbles," composed almost altogether of McDonalds, McDonells, Erasers and other Highland clansmen or their desoendacti, under the command of CoL McDonald, and a strapping, not to say hostile looiung lot of stalwarts they were. Of course our friend Rory wae among the first to enroll himself in the ranks, put on his old red "coatee" and shoulder a venerable " Brown Bess" mere remarkable for Its kicking qualities than Its reliability to fire or its accuracy of aim, and In a very sliort time he found Umself en the Niagara frontier doin " sentry ro I" under that valiant and meritorious cffiser. Gen. Sir Isaac Brock, who, as every one knows, fell while leading his command to " glory" on the blood-staued heights of Qaeenaton. Rory, after this engairement, was promoted to the high and dignified position of lanoe corporal, he being by this time well op In his drill, havbig served with Brock en the Detroit frontier where Hull, to the Intense disgust and Indignation of the Americans, surrendered. After Brook's death. Gen. Sheaffe took command of the British, and In spite of the many energetic attempts of the Americans usderGsn. Smith topermanentiy occupy the colony, managed to hold his ground. It is not necessary or advisable to follow our hero through the different hard marohes, bivouacs and battles that he underwent In hia two yers of bloody experience. He was among the Highlanders who checked the Americans at Burlington when the latter attempted to get possession of the military stores there, and who afterwards visited Toronto, where they not only succeeded In blowing up the Britisher's works, but some hundreds of their own peo- ple, indading their brave but onfortunate commander. Gen. Pike. Nor do we Intend to relate the manifold adventures of the bold Rory when on picket duty along with the unrelenting and savage allies of the British, the Indians, under their cruel smd bloodthlnty chief Joe Brant, or how often he risked his life to save that of some unfortunate woonded Yankee, whose illluok placed himin the hands ef these infuriated and nnforgiving savages. Bui one night Rory had an adventure that he remembered until hta dying day, ae It resulted sometime after In seoamg him the happfaieas of hit futore life. Rorywas^iow full corporal and In eom- mand of an outiying pleket some two mllee from the main o^np, near the rapids of the tumultuoos Niagara, and, ai he tad his comrades, placed at intervale, were peering through the onderbmah or travernng the woods on the line of ont-posts, they were startied by a sound that often before aad since that time, struck terror to the heart of the Dale face, the dread war-whoop of tiieDndians. •• Close up, boys I" ahonted Rory, "ad- vance i Let's see whaf â-  the row a bont, the redshavecMgfat somepoordevO for oertnin."
