The magazine blew up by the explo- sion of 100 pounds of powder, resulting in all the fortifications and other buildings being destroyed." t This " Mt. Defiance," or as it was also called, " Sugar Loaf Hill," was really the key to the situa- tion, whichever army might occupy it. As early as J uly, 1 758, Capt. Stark had brought the fact of its com- manding attitude to the notice of Lord Howe (see Memoir of Caleb Stark, pg. 24). Howe, on that occasion, had been taken by Stark to its summit — som...e 800 feet in height — overlooking and com- manding the works of Ticonderoga. Howe even perceived at that time the advantage which a few pieces of artillery placed there in battery would afford a besieging army on the garrison. But Gen.
Abercrombie, supposing his force of sufficient strength, brought no artillery with his army. Again, in 1776, Col. John Trumbull, when adjutant for the northern department, had called the attention of the American general to this same thing. When he made this suggestion he was laughed at by his mess ; but he soon proved the accuracy of his own vision by throwing a cannon shot to the summit, and subse- quently clambered up to the top, dragging a cannon after him, accompanied by Cols.
