In one of my front windows, situated on the ground floor, I had placed a card bearing the inscription: "Aristide Barrot, Interpreter," and below, "Anglais, Allemand, Italien."
"The river is not frozen in mid-current," retorted M. Radisson impatiently. "Get ready! I am taking different men to impress the young spark with our numbers you and La Chesnaye and the marquis and Allemand. But where a' devil is that Indian?" Le Borgne had slipped away. "Is he a spy?" I asked. "Get ready! Why do you ask questions? The thing is to do! do!! do !!!"
"He's lady enough to faint at first shot." "There'll be no first shot. Come, La Chesnaye! Three. Go on! Go on, Ben! Your wits work slow!" "Allemand, the pilot! He is drunk most of the time." "Four," counts M. Radisson. "Come over here, Allemand! You're drunk most of the time, like Ben. Go on!" "Godefroy, the English trader he sulks he's English he'll do!" "Five," laughs M. Radisson.
But they would hear no more, when some of their men brought them intelligence of the attack at the Tuileries, and the death of one of their comrades: they seized their arms, broke open the gates, and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the barracks, and cried out, "Qui vive?" "Royal- allemand." "Are you for the third estate?" "We are for those who command us."
Then, with the lieutenant and two New Englanders to witness capitulation, he marched from the gates to do the same with the ship. Allemand and Godefroy kept sentinel duty at the gates. La Chesnaye, Forêt, and Jack Battle held the bastions, and the rest stood guard in front of the main building. From my place I saw how it happened.
The evening before, Louis XVI had dismissed his minister, Neckar, but only on Sunday, the 12th, did the news get abroad. At the same time it was learned that the regiment known as the Royal Allemand, under the orders of the Prince de Lambesc, had charged the multitude gathered before the gates of the Tuileries. Cries of "A Mort!" "Aux Armes!" "Vengeance!" were hurled in air from all sides.

At present he has charge of this billiard-room, but he is ready to follow me to the ends of the earth for a period of not less than three months.
Old Allemand, the pilot, who was steersman on this canoe, forgot the ill-humour of his gin thirst, and proffered her a paddle. "Here, pretty thing," says he, "try a stroke yourself!" And to the old curmudgeon's surprise she took it with a joyous laugh, and paddled half that day. Bethink you who know what warm hearts beat inside rough buckskin whether those voyageurs were her slaves or no!
The regiment of Royal Allemand arrived at Stenay, a squadron of hussars was at Dun, another at Varennes; two squadrons of dragoons were to be at Clermont on the day the king would pass through; they were commanded by Count Charles de Damas, a bold and dashing officer, who had instructions to send forward a detachment to Sainte Menehould, and fifty hussars, detached from Varennes, were to march to Pont Sommeville between Châlons and Sainte Menehould, under pretence of securing the safe passage of a large sum of money sent from Paris to pay the troops.
Drums beat, fifes shrieked as for battle, and lusty cheers for the king and Sieur Radisson rang and echoed and re-echoed from our crews. Three times did Allemand beat his drum and three times did we cheer. Then Pierre Radisson raised his sword. Every man dropped to knee.
