Uneasy Canada Border Rumors and Refugee Flood at Burlington
Unease grows along the Canada border as cannon and powder thefts persist and a winter crisis looms. Over 500 Canadian refugee families reside in Burlington while property on the St. Lawrence sinks with low water. Troops remain ready as the Maine boundary dispute intensifies and rumors spread of American lumbering across disputed lands. A court martial in Montreal related to the Caroline incident surfaces, with Sir Allan M Nabb seeking informants and details from participants. Weather remains mild despite tensions.
