Bougainville was hit, but his hurt was less severe, and he took no notice of it, two bullets pierced the hat of De Levis, St.Luc took a half dozen through his clothes and his body was grazed three times, but his gay and warlike spirit mounted steadily, and he hummed his little French air over and over again.
More British and Americans pressed to the wooden wall.

The new Black Watch, stalwart Scotchmen, bagpipes playing, charged over everything.
Two British columns made a powerful and tremendous attack upon the French right, where stood the valiant battalions of Bearn and Guienne.
It seemed, for a while, that they might overwhelm everything.

They were against the barrier itself, and were firing into the defense.
Montcalm rushed to the spot with all the reserves he could muster.

St.
Luc sprang among the men and shouted to them to increase their fire.
This point became the center of the battle, and its full fury was concentrated there.

A mass of Highlanders, tearing at the wooden wall, refused to give back.
