The oars were then manned again, and the remains of Parker's flotilla rowed up the lake to Fort William Henry.
Several of the prisoners taken by the Indians were cooked and eaten by them.

A few days afterwards a party of Indians, following the route from the head of Lake Champlain, made a sudden attack on the houses round Fort Edward, and killed thirty-two men.
It was an imposing spectacle, as the French expedition made its way down Lake George.

General Levis had marched by the side of the lake with twenty-five hundred men, Canadians, regulars, and redskins; while the main body proceeded, the troops in two hundred and fifty large boats, the redskins in many hundreds of their canoes.
The boats moved in military order.

There were six regiments of French line: La Reine and Languedoc, La Sarre and Guienne, Bearn and Roussillon.

The cannons were carried on platforms formed across two boats.
