Notwithstanding so badly was I used, on account of provideing of aforesaid lodgeings, haveing not beforehand informed Capt. Turnbull of my intention of providing said Lodgeing for hire, he sent a Sergeant for me to [attend] the Publick parade, where to my surprise in presence of the officers of the Garrison & others he gave me very abusive & Scandalous Language, unbecomeing the Expressions of a gentleman, & when offering to speak in my own Defence, I was ordered Silence! & that he desired for the future I should give him no more trouble about Lodgeings. [He] ordered me about my business, that he would not put me under arrested as he knew that was what I wanted, but would not do me that Honnour. I was not worth his notice. N. B.: Ensign Strickland & Ens. Graham were put under arrest for differences subsisting among them at his house, which Capt. Turnbull approved of till their differences were settled. Conclusion [Illustration: Musket and saber] _Daniel Morison’s journal ends at this point. After July 2, 1772, we lose sight of the unhappy surgeon’s mate. It appears at least that he did not remain much longer at the Straits for later that year the various units of the Second Battalion of the Royal Americans were assembled from Niagara, Fort Michilimackinac, and other frontier posts and shipped off to serve in the balmier climate of the West Indies._ _Captain Turnbull retired from the army in 1775 by selling his commission, but some of the others who had served at Michilimackinac remained with the Royal Americans and fought in the Revolutionary War. Turnbull’s predecessor as commandant, Beamsley Glazier, distinguished himself in the fighting around Savannah, Georgia, in 1779, by leading three companies of the Royal Americans in a fierce charge which drove the American and French forces into headlong retreat and caused the Allies to lift their siege of the British troops in the city. Ensign Johnson’s erstwhile comrade-in-arms, John Christie, fought gallantly in 1780 at Mobile in a futile effort to beat off a Spanish attack on that port. Christie thereby redeemed his reputation which had been badly tarnished by his premature surrender to the Indians when he was in command of a fort at present-day Erie, Pennsylvania, in 1763._ _Many changes took place at Michilimackinac after 1772, so many, in fact, that John Askin, an old-time resident, in 1778 wrote to Thomas McMurray, apparently the former acting sergeant-major who had retired to a business in Montreal, that he would scarcely recognize the post any more. In place of the drafty old houses, such as the ones Morison had lived in, the people, Askin reported, were “now building tolerable good ones.”_
