Only fifteen survived and were taken prisoners. Thus the fiercest warriors of North America experienced a second disaster which could not but result in deepening their hatred of the French. These early successes of Champlain were dearly paid for by his country-men long after he was dead.
Is it not still more by imitating their example by enabling country-men of our own to pursue the same career and to hazard their lives in the same cause?
