In late July 1757 Colonel John Parker set out up Lake George from Fort William Henry with about 350 New Jersey provincials in boats, to scout the French positions to the north. The French and their Native allies captured his advance boats first, and the prisoners gave away where the main column planned to land at Sabbath Day Point. Musket-men waited along the shore of the point, and warriors in canoes lay hidden behind it. When Parker's boats came in, the trap closed from the shore and from the water. Parker lost about 250 men killed, drowned or captured, while the French reported one man slightly wounded. Within days Montcalm's army was coming down the same lake toward Fort William Henry.

This warrior kneels low behind a fallen log, his musket levelled and steadied for the shot. A red crest with long feathers rises at the back of his head, his scalp lock is tied with yellow, and a silver disc hangs at his ear. A beaded strap crosses his bare back to a leather bag at his hip, and a wooden war club is pushed through his belt. He wears green leggings and moccasins. For a Sabbath Day Point shoreline, set him with Ambush Set No.3 and Native Warrior Kneeling Firing No.2 among the rocks. Add Compagnies Franches de la Marine Standing Firing, since a Marine officer commanded the ambush.
