=Beveridge.= =T= Seconds the address in New Brunswick Assembly, 115. =Biard, Pierre= (1565-1622). Came to Port Royal in 1611, with Masse--the first of their order in New France. The relations of the Jesuits with Poutrincourt and his son Biencourt were far from cordial; little or no progress was made with the conversion of the Micmacs; and in 1613 Biard sailed with Masse for Mount Desert, with an expedition sent out by Madame de Guercheville. They had hardly begun the new settlement, when Argall swooped down, seized their ship, plundered their property, and carried Biard and some of his companions prisoners to Virginia. Argall brought the Jesuit back with him to Acadia the same year; the vessel in which he sailed was carried out to sea, and after a series of adventures Biard finally reached France and remained there. =Bib.=: Biard, _Relation_; Carayon, _Première Mission des Jésuites au Canada_; Parkman, _Pioneers of France_. =Bibaud, Michel= (1782-1857).
