'I wonder who Mr. Edward was, said Nelly to herself, with half shut eyes. She had entirely forgotten Cicely's neighbourhood. But Cicely turned round, and asked her what she was thinking of. Nelly repeated the letter, and Cicely suddenly shewed agitation 'Edward! Baston Magna! he means Edward Longmore! Cicely rarely cried.
She drew a veil over her face and fell to weeping as she followed the six men who carried Josi's coffin to the hearse. Having finished, Mali took her baston and her empty basket and began her journey. As she passed over Towy Street the public way which is set with stones she saw that many people were gathered at the gates of Beulah to witness Mary Ann's loud lamentations at Josi's grave.
The Relation de la Prise du Port Royal par les Anglois de Baston, written on the spot immediately after the event, says that, except that nobody was killed, the place was treated as if taken by assault. Meneval also says that the inhabitants were pillaged. Meneval au Ministre, 29 Mai, 1600; also Rapport de Champigny, Oct., 1690.

"En partant de Canada, j'ay laisse une tres grande disposition a attirer au Christianisme la plus grande partie des sauvages Abenakis qui abitent les bois du voisinage de Baston. Pour cela il faut les attirer a la mission nouvellement etablie pres Quebec sous le nom de S. Francois de Sale. Je l'ai vue en peu de temps au nombre de six cents ames venues du voisinage de Baston.
Four years before, a projected attack on Quebec by a British fleet, under Admiral Wheeler, had come to nought from analogous causes. The French spared no pains to gain accurate information as to the strength of the English settlements. Among other reports on this subject there is a curious Memoire sur les Etablissements anglois au dela de Pemaquid, jusqu'a Baston.
