86. The Recollect Father Joseph le Caron. 87. _Vide Laverdiere in loco_. 88. Father Denis Jamay. 89. Jean d'Olbeau and Pacifique du Plessis. 90. This refers to the volume bearing date 1613, but which may not have been actually issued from the press till 1614. 91. Our views of the war policy of Champlain are stated at some length in Vol I. pp 189-193. 92. Laverdiere thinks it probable that Champlain left the Falls of St Louis on the 23d of June, and that the Holy Mass was celebrated on the Riviere des Prairies on the 24th, the festival of St John the Baptist. 93. This interpreter was undoubtedly Etienne Brule. It was a clearly defined policy of Champlain to send suitable young men among the savages, particularly to learn their language, and subsequently to act as interpreters. Brule is supposed to have been of this class. 94. The Lake of Two Mountains. 95. The River Ottawa, which Champlain had explored in 1613, as far as Allumet Island, where a tribe of the Algonquins resided, called later _Kichesipinni_. _Vide Relation des Jesuites_, 1640, p 34. 96. This is an over-estimate. 97. Champlain here again, _Vide_ note 90, refers to the issue bearing date 1613. It is not unlikely that while it bears the imprint of 1613, it did not actually issue from the press till 1614. 98. The lake or expansion of the Ottawa on the southern side of Allumet Island was called the Lake of the Algonquins, as Allumet Island was oftentimes called the Island of the Algonquins. 99. The River Ottawa. 100. Pere Vimont calls this tribe _Kotakoutouemi_. _Relation des Jesuites_, 1640, p. 34. Pere Rogueneau gives _Outaoukotouemiouek_, and remarks that their language is a mixture of Algonquin and Montagnais. _Vide Relation des Jesuites_, 1650. p. 34; also _Laverdiere in loco_. 101. _Blues_, blueberries. The Canada blueberry. _Vaccinium Canadense_. Under the term _blues_ several varieties may have been included. Charlevoix describes and figures this fruit under the name _Bluet du Canada_. _Vide Description des Plantes Principales de l'Amerique Septentrionale_, in _Histoire de la Nouvelle France_, Paris. 1744, Tom. IV. pp. 371, 372; also Vol. I: p 303, note 75, of this work. 102. At its junction with the Mattawan, the Ottawa's course is from the north. What is known as its east branch rises 150 miles north of the city of Ottawa. Extending towards the west in a winding course for the distance of about 300 miles, it turns towards the southeast, and a few miles before it joins the Mattawan its course is directly south. From its northeastern source by a short portage is reached the river Chomouchouan, an affluent of Lake St. John and the Saguenay. 103. Mattawa is 197 miles from Ottawa. We have no means of giving the latitude with entire accuracy, but it is about 46 deg. 20'. 104. Lac du Talon and Lac la Tortue.
