The Portuguese officer, M. de Rebello, after landing Tristan at Loreto, returned to Savatinga, in conformity to the orders he had received of waiting there until Madame Godin should arrive; and Tristan, in lieu of repairing to Laguna, the capital of the Spanish missions, and there delivering his letters to the Superior, meeting with a missionary Jesuit, called Father Yesquen, who was on his return to Quito, by an unpardonable oversight, which had every appearance of a bad intent, delivered to his care the packet of letters.
Feel his body, it must be still warm; examine it, and satisfy yourselves that he has suffered no violence from me, and you see that I have no weapons about me." Godin was soon afterwards removed to Fort Coulonge, and was allowed a high salary by the North-West Company.
You undoubtedly noticed how carefully M. Godin kept his own counsel. Official methods, and the hasty generalisations which form a part thereof to say nothing of the petty rivalries and the passion for notoriety can do much to hinder our own work, and, I believe, nothing to help it. What say you?"
The picture shows M. Latour's rooms with that gentleman and M. Godin sitting at a table and evidently engaged in earnest conversation. This cylinder is a record of a very interesting portion of that conversation M. Godin will please not leave the room!" This last was said as M. Godin started toward the door.
I almost feared lest some sudden turn in the case might cast suspicion upon myself, or even Maitland. Without apparently noticing M. Godin's discomfiture, George continued: "M. Godin has testified that he sometimes plays cards, but only for a small stake just enough, he says, to make it interesting. I shall show you that he is a professional gambler as well as a detective.
Again the witness hesitated while everyone, save only Maitland and Godin, leaned eagerly forward to catch his reply. At length it came in a voice scarcely above a whisper. A. Anhydrous hydrocyanic acid. A long-drawn "Hum!" escaped from Maitland, while M. Godin gave not the slightest indication of surprise.
In consequence, it was shortly overset, which obliged the party to land, and build themselves a hut. They were now but from five to six days journey from Andoas. Mr R. proposed to repair thither, and get off with another Frenchman of the party, and the faithful negro belonging to Madame Godin, taking especial care to carry his effects with him.
The next moment, a couple of well-disposed Indians came to inform Godin of the murder of his man, which it appeared they could not prevent.
"We hadn't much doubt of it last night, but there were some things, such as the motive, for example, not quite clear to us; but it is all as plain as daylight now." "And what says M. Godin?" asked Maitland. Mr. Osborne burst into a loud guffaw. "Oho, but that's good! What says M. Godin? I say, Allen, Maitland wants to know what 'Frenchy' says," and the pair laughed boisterously.
On nearer approach, they were ascertained to be Blackfeet. One of the trappers of Sublette's brigade, a half-breed, named Antoine Godin, now mounted his horse, and rode forth as if to hold a conference. In company with Antoine was a Flathead Indian, whose once powerful tribe had been completely broken down in their wars with the Blackfeet.
