These forlorn beings, forming a mere link between human nature and the brute, have been looked down upon with pity and contempt by the creole trappers, who have given them the appellation of "les dignes de pitie," or "the objects of pity."; They appear more worthy to be called the wild men of the mountains.

"Seigneur," came the huge response, "nous vous adorons!" "Seigneur, nous vous aimons!" cried the priest. "Seigneur, nous vous aimons!" answered the people. "Sauvez-nous, Jésus; nous périssons!"
