At one place called Achelay, "a strait with a stony and dangerous current, full of rocks," probably the Richelieu Rapids above Point au Platon a number of Indians came on board the Emérillon, warned Cartier of the perils of the river, and the chief made him a present of two children, one of whom, a little girl of seven or eight years, he accepted and promised to take every care of.
