Wolfe's commissariat. But a good many were left and no doubt they are the ancestors of many of the cattle, sheep and pigs we see at Malbaie still. This first visit of Americans and Highlanders to Malbaie has its special interest. A few years later Highlanders came again, not to destroy but to settle, and to become the ancestors of families that to this day show their Highland origin in their names and in their faces, but never a trace of it in their speech or in their customs.[2] The Americans were longer in coming back. But, after more than a hundred years they, too, were to come again, not to destroy but in a very literal sense to build; their many charming cottages now stretch along the shore of the Bay that looks across to Cap a l'Aigle.

H. Tetu, in the _Bulletin des Recherches Historiques_ (Levis, Quebec) for August, 1907, and the following numbers. They were the Canon Joseph Thierry Hazeur, born in 1680, and Pierre Hazeur de L'Orme, born in 1682, both apparently at Quebec. The younger brother took the name de L'Orme from his mother's family. He was for many years the representative in France of the Chapter of the Cathedral at Quebec, which held, from the Pope and the King, four or five abbeys in France. His copious letters published by Mgr. Tetu illustrate with some vividness details of the ecclesiastical life of the time. For several years after the British conquest of Canada the Quebec Chapter continued to receive the revenues of the Abbey of Meaubec. The elder Hazeur, less able than his brother, was Cure at Point aux Trembles. An invalid, he spent his later years chiefly in Quebec.] [Footnote 2: Malcolm Fraser, an officer in the 78th Highlanders and afterwards first seigneur of Mount Murray, one of the two seigniories into which Malbaie was divided, was sent out on these ravaging expeditions. Years after, some of Fraser's neighbours of French origin rallied him on his capacity for devastation as shown at this time. See Fraser's _Journal_, Appendix A, p. 253, and the _Memoires_ of Philippe Aubert de Gaspe, 1866, Ch. II.] CHAPTER II THE TWO HIGHLAND SEIGNEURS AT MALBAIE Pitt's use of the Highlanders in the Seven Years' War.--The origin of Fraser's Highlanders.--The career of Lord Lovat.--Lovat's son Simon Fraser and other Frasers at Quebec.--Malcolm Fraser and John Nairne, future seigneurs at Malbaie.--The Highlanders and Wolfe's victory.--The Highlanders in the winter of 1759-60.--Malcolm Fraser on Murray's defeat in April, 1760.--The return of Canadian seigneurs to France.--General Murray buys Canadian seigniories.--Nairne and Fraser at Malbaie.--Their grants from Murray.
