He had made a start up Grand Lake, they said, but the storms had not permitted the party to advance any farther than the Cape Corbeau tilt.
Another anecdote is related by Mr. Schoolcraft which we quote as illustrative of the character, in some degree, of this singular and warlike race." "Le Petit Corbeau, a chief of a small band of Sioux, located upon the banks of the Mississippi, towards the confines of the Chippeway territory, going out one morning to examine his beaver trap, found a Sauteur in the act of stealing it.
So foxes talk, do they! They talk like crows! Mind what you are about, oh, wise tutor; weigh your answer before you give it, it is more important than you suspect. "Eh! Bonjour, Monsieur le Corbeau!" Those who say "Monsieur du Corbeau" will find their work cut out for them to explain that "du." "Que vous etes joli! Que vous me semblez beau!"
I carried in the water this morning when his wound was dressed, for I had the curiosity to see him C'est un diable de blessure and the young officer has a very singular mark on his right shoulder, like comment l'appelez-vous? pied du corbeau." Rainscourt started under the operation of the razor: he remembered the mark of the grandchild, so minutely described by the vicar.
"Planchet, do you know M. La Fontaine?" "The chemist at the corner of the Rue Saint-Mederic?" "No, the writer of fables." "Oh! Maitre Corbeau!" "Exactly; well, then, I am like his hare." "He has got a hare also, then?" "He has all sorts of animals." "Well, what does his hare do, then?" "M. La Fontaine's hare thinks." "Ah, ah!" "Planchet, I am like that hare I am thinking."

"Daddy, see if I know my La Fontaine fable: Le corbeau et le renard." "Very well, let's hear it," Signor Odoardo assents, taking the open book from the little girl's hands. Doretta begins: "Maitre corbeau, sur un arbre perche, Tenait en son bec un fromage; Maitre...maitre...maitre..." "Go on." "Maitre..." "Maitre renard."
Bois-Guilbert's new shield bore a raven in full flight, holding in its claws a skull, and bearing the motto, "Gare le Corbeau". When the two champions stood opposed to each other at the two extremities of the lists, the public expectation was strained to the highest pitch.
It is mentioned in Professor Ansted's list, but only marked as occurring in Guernsey and Sark, nothing being said about Alderney and the other Islands in spite of Mr. Gallienne's note. There is no specimen at present in the Museum. RAVEN. Corvus corax, Linnaeus. French, "Corbeau," "Corbeau noir." The Raven can now only be looked upon as an occasional straggler.
From the tilt the men had gone on to Tom's house at the rapid to spend the night, and George had now come down to the post to relieve my mind with the news that the body was safe. It was arranged that the next morning George and Duncan should take the post dogs and komatik, drive up to Cape Corbeau and bring the body down. The morning was calm and fine, and they started early.
