His face displayed but the most ordinary interest in the conversation.
The town major of Quebec, Zachary du Puys, took military command of the party, which consisted of ten soldiers, thirty or forty white labourers, four Jesuit fathers Menard, Le Mercier, Dablon, and Fremin two lay brothers, and a number of Hurons, Senecas, and Onondagas.
