Colonel Wol- seley had already filled all of the Staff appointments, but detailed the boat's crew, and in his official diari Wolseley records how one day he passed McCalmont when he was working hard with his men pulling his heavy boat over a steep incline in a portage 120 feet high! Aftey the force reached and took posses- sion of Fort Garry, Wolseley was anxious to get despatches through to the Government, but hesitated to use the usual couriers and mails via the United States for fear the pack- Fenians and other sympathizers. Captain McCalmont solved the dit- of the commanding officer's des- patches and carry it to a place where it could be safely mailed, So Sir Hugh was the man who brought the first official reports of the successful accomplishment of the objects of the expedition to the British and Cana- dian Governments. Soon after re- turning to England from Canada, he transferred from the 9th Lancers to the 7th Hussars and later he trans- ferred to the 4th Dragoons. Capt. MeCalmont served in expedition to the Gold Coast and in Armenia, receiving therefore the bre- vet of major.
