The party came up the St. Lawrence river in rowboats as far as Prescott, where they took a steamer to Toronto, which was then a small town. They then hired a schooner to take them to Hamilton, and remained in the schooner over Sunday the party afterwards hired teams to bring them up the country to what is now known as German Mills.
