Hither came many pilgrims from Quebec and more distant settlements, and here Our Lady granted to her suppliants, says Chaumonot, many miraculous favors, insomuch that "it would require an entire book to describe them all."
The door darkened again, and the Chevalier, Nicot, Father Chaumonot and four soldiers came in hurriedly. The Chevalier was first. With a cry he dropped beside Victor. "Lad, lad!" he cried in anguish. "Speak to me, lad!" He touched the poet's hands, and rose. Like an angry lion he faced the vicomte. "Ha!" said the vicomte, rousing from the numbness which was stealing away his senses. "So it is you?
And Le Borgne, pale and trembling, took the red man's order for meat and water. "Ah, Captain," said Chaumonot, "it is good to see you again." "Major, Father; Major." "You have received your commission, then?" "Finally." "Congratulations! Will you direct me at once to the Hôtel de Périgny? I must see the marquis to-night, since we sail to-morrow."
The Jesuit plucked at his lips for a space, as if hesitant to break the silence. "Have you ever heard of the Marquis de Périgny?" The Chevalier whirled about. "The Marquis de Périgny? Ah, yes; I have heard of that gentleman. Why do you ask?" "It is said that while he is a bad Catholic, he is generous in his charities. Father Chaumonot and I intend to apply to him for assistance.
He received the death-blow in a posture like that in which he had seen the dead missionary. His body was found with the hands still clasped on the breast. Lettre de Chaumonot a Lalemant, 1 Juin, 1649. The next death among the Jesuits was that of Masse, who died at Sillery, on the twelfth of May of this year, 1646, at the age of seventy-two. He had come with Biard to Acadia as early as 1611.
The Corn Planter made a negative sign. "Ten beaver skins," said the priest. "The daughters of Onontio are worth a thousand beaver skins." "Well, then," said leather Chaumonot, reaching down and taking a musket from the ground, "this with powder and ball to go with it." The Corn Planter wavered.
His account coincides perfectly with the briefer notice of Chaumonot in his Autobiography. Chaumonot describes the difficulties of the journey very graphically in a letter to his friend, Father Nappi, dated Aug. 3, 1640, preserved in Carayon. See also the next letter, Brebeuf au T. R. P. Mutio Vitelleschi, 20 Aout, 1641. The Jesuits had borne all that the human frame seems capable of bearing.
Five Jesuit Fathers were of the number, among them Fathers Chaumonot and Dablon.
The iron Brebeuf, the gentle Garnier, the all-enduring Jogues, the enthusiastic Chaumonot, Lalemant, Le Mercier, Chatelain, Daniel, Pijart, Ragueneau, Du Peron, Poncet, Le Moyne, one and all bore themselves with a tranquil boldness, which amazed the Indians and enforced their respect.
"Why, you might not have followed me;" and with this ambiguous retort, she moved away, The Chevalier shouldered his ax and made off toward a clump of maples where several woodsmen were at work. His heart was gay rather than sad. For would she not be forced to remain here indefinitely? And whenever Father Chaumonot could spare the men, would he not be one of them to return to Quebec with her?
