[3] Stadaconé is the site of Quebec. Stadaconé is "wing" in Huron Iroquois, so called because of the formation of the point between the St. Lawrence and the St. Charles rivers. [4] The translation of the second voyage of Jacques Cartier which we are using with his permission is that made by Mr. James Phinney Baxter and published in 1906 in his "Memoir of Jacques Cartier." We have not chosen Hakluyt's for the following reasons: In the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris there are three contemporary manuscripts, numbered 55 5644 and 5653, which vary very slightly. That numbered 5653 was probably the copy used for a publication of the second voyage issued at Paris in 1545 under the title of "Bref Récit" and appeared translated into English by Hakluyt in 1600. In comparing the other manuscript it has been found that numerous errors and omissions occurred in the version printed under the title of the Bref Récit including the omission of two entire chapters. Doctor Baxter has therefore translated the manuscript 5589 and it is a portion of this that we present to the readers. [5] Hochelaga is Huron Iroquois for "at the Beavers Dam." [6] This might indicate that there were chaplains with Cartier, if he had perhaps not deluded the savages, as likely he did. [7] The history of the efforts of the Montreal merchants to deepen the channels dates from the same cause. The success of the navigation to Montreal has followed the varying increases in depth of this channel. [8] The present Sorel Islands, the streams being the channels between them. [9] The Algonquin word is Mooskouessou. [10] Maize or Indian corn. [11] Lescarbot has it caracona. The word is Huron Iroquois. [12] "Esnogny," the wampum of the Abenaki. [13] Shells. [14] Cartier's Canada was limited to the region between the Isle Bacchus and Hochelaga. [15] The Lachine Rapids. [16] The Ottawa. [17] Probably from the region of Lake Superior.
