chapter iii. of his _Old Régime in Canada_. Père Charlevoix gives the

facts and adds: "Je l'ai vu en 1721, âgé de quatre-vingt ans, plein de forces et de santé; toute la colonie rendant hommage à sa vertu et à son mérite," vol. ii. p. 111, edition of 1744.]

[Footnote 38: Perrot and his party, according to Monseignat's narrative, left the end of the Island of Montreal on the 22nd May. The Albany--or more correctly Schenectady party, for they did not venture to attack Albany--returned towards the end of March. Frontenac's message must have been composed some months before Perrot's departure, otherwise he would undoubtedly have mentioned with pride the Schenectady massacre. It was certainly not up to date.]

[Footnote 39: "There was little resistance," says Père Chrétien Leclercq, a contemporary writer, "except at one house, where Sieur de Marque Montigny was wounded; but Sieur de Ste. Hélène, having come up, all were slaughtered with sword or tomahawk, the Indians sparing no one."--_Premier Etablissement de la Foi._]
