Verrazano says of the Indians of this region: “They are suspicious, hostile and desirous of obtaining steel implements for defense against kidnappers, who frequent the coast to seize and transport them to the Spanish Islands of the West Indies.” [204] Hakluyt, _Voyages_, iii, pp. 209, 213; Lescarbot, _Histoire de la Nouvelle-France_, ii, p. 350; Kohl, _Documentary History of Maine_, i, pp. 327, 330; Douglas, _Old France in the New World_, pp. 22, 23, 27, 28, 30; Robinson, _An Account of Discoveries_, etc., p. 359. _Early English and French Voyages, chiefly from Hakluyt_, 1534–1608, in _Original Narratives of Early American History_, p. 81.

The promise of Cartier that the prisoners should be well treated was evidently kept. In the archives of St. Malo for the year 1538, is noted the baptism of three savages brought there by Cartier. Winsor, _Narrative and Critical History of America_, iv, p. 57. These Indians were questioned by Francis I, (Thevet, _Cosmographie Universelle_, Tome II, p. 1013), and thus served the purpose for which they had been brought. They never returned to America, for all of them, except one little girl, died in Brittany before Cartier’s third voyage in 1540.

An instance of kidnapping Indians in Canada by military officials is worthy of mention. In 1687, a number of Iroquois chiefs went to a French camp near Montreal, on the invitation of the French officials, to confer with the governor of Canada. The intendant, Champigny, had these chiefs seized and by the king’s orders sent to France to serve in the galleys. Brodhead, _History of New York_, first edition, ii, p. 476.
