Col.
McMicken gave Comrade Forbes and myself a pass to go to Detroit and meet the company, advising us to allow no demonstration until we had passed the centre of the river and were in Canadian waters.

The company followed the advice, and when the steamer crossed the line the men went wild with enthusiasm, and were royally received in Windsor by the military authorities.

This was repeated at London and Hamilton.

The company arrived in Toronto on the night of Tuesday, June 5th.

It took the entire police force to get the men off the train, owing to the delight of their friends and the cheering crowds who came to welcome us home.
