The 15th, we held on our Journey with them, and found a pleasanter Country than that we had pass’d thro’; and Monsieur _de la Sale_ having in his former Journey hid some Indian Wheat and Beans, two or three Leagues from that Place, and our Provisions beginning to fall short, it was thought fit to go to that Place. Accordingly he order’d the Sieurs _Duhaut_, _Hiens_, _Liotot_ the Surgeon, his own _Indian_, and his Footman, whose Name was _Saget_, who were followed by some Natives, to go to the Place he described to them, where they found all rotten and quite spoilt. The 16, in their Return, they met with two Bullocks, which Monsieur _de la Sale’s_ _Indian_ kill’d, whereupon they sent back his Footman, to give him Notice of what they had kill’d, that if he would have the Flesh dry’d, he might send Horses for it. The 17th, Monsieur _de la Sale_ had the Horses taken up, and order’d the Sieurs _Moranget_ and _de Malre_ and his Footman, to go for that Meat, and send back a Horse Load immediately, till the rest was dry’d. [Sidenote: _Discontent occasion’d by Monsr._ Moranget.] Monsieur _Moranget_, when he came thither, found they had smoak’d both the Beeves, tho’ they were not dry enough; and the said Sieurs _Liotot_, _Hiens_, _Duhaut_ and the rest had laid aside the Marrow-Bones and others to roast them, and eat the flesh that remain’d on them, as was usual to do. The Sieur _Moranget_ found fault with it, he in a Passion seiz’d not only the Flesh that was smoak’d and dry’d, but also the Bones, without giving them any Thing; but on the contrary, threat’ning they should not eat so much of it, as they had imagin’d, and that he would manage that Flesh after another Manner. [Sidenote: _Conspiracy to murder Monsr._ de la Sale.] This passionate Behaviour, so much out of Season, and contrary to Reason and Custom, touch’d the Surgeon _Liotot_, _Hiens_ and _Duhaut_ to the Quick, they having other Causes of Complaint against _Moranget_. They withdrew, and resolv’d together upon a bloody Revenge; they agreed upon the Manner of it, and concluded they would murder the Sieur _Moranget_, Monsieur _de la Sale’s_ Footman and his _Indian_, because he was very faithful to him. [Sidenote: _Bloody Murderers._] They waited till Night, when those unfortunate Creatures had supp’d and were asleep. _Liotot_ the Surgeon was the inhuman Executioner, he took an Ax, began by the Sieur _Moranget_, giving him many Strokes on the Head; the same he did by the Footman and the _Indian_, killing them on the Spot, whilst his Fellow Villains, _viz._ _Duhaut_, _Hiens_, _Teissier_ and _Larcheveque_ stood upon their Guard, with their Arms, to fire upon such as should make any Resistance. The _Indian_ and the Footman never stir’d, but the Sieur _Moranget_ had so much Vigour as to sit up, but without being able to speak one Word, and the Assasins obliged the Sieur _de Marle_ to make an End of him, tho’ he was not in the Conspiracy.
