Colonel Munro,
1:18:14
I have known you
as a gallant antagonist.
1:18:18
I am happy to make
your acquaintance as a friend.
1:18:21
And I yours,
Monsieur Le Marquis.
1:18:24
Please accept
My compliments...
1:18:27
for the strong and skillful defense
of your fortress.
1:18:31
Under the command of a lesser man,
It would have fallen long ago,
1:18:36
given the superior numbers
and materials.
1:18:40
Chance has allowed me
to array against you.
1:18:44
Monsieur Le Marquis,
I am a soldier, not a diplomat.
1:18:49
You called this parlay for a better
reason than an exchange of compliments.
1:18:56
You have already done
everything which is necessary
for the honor of your prince.
1:19:02
But now I beg you to listen
to the admonishments of humanity.
1:19:06
I beg you to consider
my terms for your surrender.
1:19:10
Perhaps the general's glass
can reach as far as the Hudson...
1:19:14
and seize the size and eminence
of the army of Webb?
1:19:22
My scouts intercepted
this dispatch intended for you.
1:19:27
Capitan de Bougainville.
1:19:31
"To Colonel Munro.
Sir, I regret to inform you...
1:19:35
that I have no men available
to send to your rescue.
1:19:39
It is quite impossible.
1:19:42
I advise you to seek terms
for surrender.
1:19:45
I remain.
Jerome Webb at Fort Edward".
1:19:58
This is the signature of Webb.
And I know the temper of our men.
