The Natives, _Hiens_ had brought with him, having been Spectators of that Murder, were in a Consternation, and that Affair was of dangerous Consequence to us, who stood in Need of them. It was therefore requisite to make the best of it, giving them to understand, that there had been Reason for so punishing those dead Persons, because they had all the Powder and Ball, and would not give any to the rest. They remain’d satisfy’d with that Excuse, and he who was called _Larcheveque_, and who was entirely devoted to _Duhaut_, being Abroad a hunting since the Morning, and not knowing what Misfortune had hapned his Protector, and _Hiens_ being resolv’d to make away with him, Father _Anastasius_ and Monsieur _Cavelier_ took so much Pains, that they disswaded him from it, and I went out and met _Larcheveque_, to give him Notice of that Disaster, and to inform him, how he was to behave himself. Thus I requited him for having come to give me Notice of Monsieur _de la Sale’s_ Death. I brought him to _Hiens_, who declar’d he design’d him no Harm, and _Larcheveque_ gave him the same Assurances on his Part. Thus all Things are again compos’d, and nothing remain’d, but for us to set out, but first to know what we were to do, and which Way to direct our Course. Hereupon, _Hiens_ took upon him to speak, and said, he had promis’d the Natives to go to the War with them, and design’d to be as good as his Word; that if we would expect his Return, we might by that Time consider which Way he would move,[108] and that in the mean Time we might stay in the Village among the _Cenis_. This was resolv’d on; we loaded all our Effects on our Horses, and repair’d to the same Place and the same Cottage, where we had been before, the Chief of it assigning us the one Half to lodge and lay up our Baggage. [Sidenote: _Six French Men go to the Wars with the Natives._] When the Day for setting out for the War was come, _Hiens_ departed with the Natives, four of our Comrades and the two half Savage _French_ Men going along with him; so that there were six of them, and each took a Horse. _Hiens_ left us all the Effects, and desir’d we would stay for him, which we promis’d, not knowing how to avoid it, considering, that the _Indians_ might have done us Harm, and even have obstructed our Departure. Thus we resign’d ourselves to Providence, and remain’d six of us together, _viz._ Father _Anastasius_, Monsieur _Cavelier_, his Nephew young _Cavelier_, young _Talon_, another Youth of _Paris_, and I. There also remain’d some old Men, who could not go to the War, and the Women. We were also join’d by two other _French_ Men, who had been left on the other Side the River, being the _Provencal_ and one _Teissier_. [Sidenote: _Bewailing the Memory of Men kill’d._]
