JOURNEYS OF
On the 4th of June there arrived four
canoes, commanded by M. de Porneuf, coming
from Montreal, and bringing news from
the Marquis d'Hennonville, and orders to
send to the settlements which were towards
the Lake des Puans and others higher up,
towards the source of the River Colbert, to
know the posture and condition of affairs.
We prepared to be gone with the two canoes.
M. Cavelier bought another, to carry our
baggage, and left part of his furs with a
merchant, who gave him a note to receive
money at Montreal. I did the same with
those few furs I had, the rest of them having
been left at Micilimaquinay.
We took leave of the Jesuits and set out
in four canoes, viz., two belonging to M. de
Porneuf and two to M. Cavelier, one of
which had been brought from Fort Louis
and the other bought as I have just now
said, we being twenty-nine of us in those
four canoes. We rowed on till the 24th,
when M. de Porneuf left us to go to St.
Mary's Fall, to carry the orders given him.
The 25th we got out of the lake of the Illinois
to enter that of the Hurons, on the
banks whereof stands the village called Tessalon,
where M. de Porneuf came again to
us, with a canoe of the natives, and with
him we held on our way.
