William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, and the growth and division of the British Empire, 1708-1778; . uld not be Loudoun was at HaHfax, Montcalms force atTiconderoga attacked Fort William Henry on LakeGeorge and after a gallant defence the garrison capit-ulated.

One otherdanger seriously threatened British interests; Lou-doun, unfortunate in all things, was especially so inhis relation with the American authorities and offi-cers, and this question also received Pitts attentionbefore the real campaign began.

At the close of 1755, Clive arrived in Lidia totake up the Governorship of Fort St. David in theCarnatic. When the news of the tragedy of theBlack Hole reached Madras he was chosen to com-mand the land forces in the expedition sent to re-lieve Calcutta, while Admiral Watson commanded.
