Signs were not wanting that if the people of the new province were left to work out their own salvation, they would exclude slavery. The South was acutely sensitive to such signs.

"It is not the Chevalier de St. Luc," said Father Drouillard, gently. "It is the lad, Robert Lennox, from the Province of New York." "But it is St. Luc!" insisted the old man.

He had once more kindled all the Mussulman fanaticism and hatred of the foreign invader against us We had to fight in every direction. While my brother Aumale had several sharp engagements, in one of which my younger brother, Montpensier, was wounded, on the Constantine side of the country, General Bugeaud was carrying on a daily struggle with the warlike tribes of the Province of Oran.
Now this house was new and airy; and as the night was very windy from the north, and extremely cold with clear moonshine, I shall not readily forget it. Ephraim and his wife obtained a bed; but we passed through the night without sleeping much. In the four years since that time more than a thousand Friends had settled in the province. 18th, Saturday.
