There is no more dramatic chapter in Dent’s history than his story of the way Samuel Lount, after the failure of the rebellion, sought to make his escape to the United States. After many adventures he is represented as having secured a boat and cars men, but when almost across the lake, and within sight of the Ameri- can shore, the tired men were unable Ito proceed against adverse wind and wave and were driven back exhaust- ed to the Canadian side. Here Lount ‘was an object of suSpicion, although his identity was not suspected, but it was‘supposed that he was engaged in smuggling or some questionable busi- ness.
