The watch of the Valiant, waking suddenly, sprang up and ran forward, making no outcry, dazed but bent on fighting. He came, however, on the point of Perrot's sabre and was cut down. Meanwhile Iberville, hot for mischief, stamped upon the deck. Immediately a number of armed men came bundling up the hatch way.
But having made his speech, he settled back to his tobacco and into the orator's earned repose. Iberville looked up from the fire and said: "Perrot, you saw her in New York. What speech was there between you?" Perrot's eyes twinkled. "There was not much said. "I put myself in her way. When she saw me her cheek came like a peach- blossom.

Her captain Jean Berigord had chafed on the bit in the little Hotel Colbert, making himself more feared than liked, till one day he was taken to Iberville by Perrot. A bargain was soon struck.

I had now an opportunity of learning whether the girl was, in fact, as innocent as she seemed, and as every particular of our reception had declared her; and I watched her closely when Perrot's mode of address betrayed the King's identity. Suffice it that the vivid blush which on the instant suffused her face, and the lively emotion which almost overcame her, left me in no doubt.
