CHAPTER VI.
[THE FRENCH AMONG THE CENIS-FATE OF
THE ASSASSINS.]
THE hunting of bullocks had failed us,
and we had seen none from the place where
our leader had been murdered. Thus our
provisions began to fall short, and it was
resolved on the 29th to send some men before
to the village of the Cenis to know
whether they had any Indian corn and were
willing to barter for it. I was appointed,
with the surgeon Liotot, the Tessieers and
Hiens, who was a buccaneer M. de la Salle
had taken up at Petit Gouave to go with
him upon this expedition. I was very unwilling
to undertake that journey with a
murderer and two of his companions, of
whom I was suspicious; but it was very
requisite to obey, and Duhaut having all the
effects in his possession, alleging that a
great part of them belonged to him, he gave
us some knives and hatchets to barter for
Indian corn, as also for horses, if any were
to be had, and accordingly we passed the
river.
