The same day we made the thirty leagues from this fall to the Trois Rivieres. On the 19th we arrived at Quebec, which is also thirty leagues from the Trois Rivieres. I induced the most of those in each boat to stay at the settlement, when I had some repairs made and some rose-bushes set out. I had also some oak wood put on board to make trial of in France, not only for marine wainscoting, but also for windows. The next day, the 20th of July, I set out. On the 23d I arrived at Tadoussac, whence I resolved to return to France, in accordance with the advice of Pont Grave. After arranging matters relating to our settlement, according to the directions which Sieur de Monts had given me, I embarked in the vessel of Captain Tibaut, of La Rochelle, on the 11th of August. During our passage we had an abundance of fish, such as _orades_, mackerel, and _pilotes_, the latter similar to herrings, and found about certain planks covered with _pousle-pieds_, a kind of shell-fish attaching itself thereto, and growing there gradually. Sometimes the number of these little fish is so great that it is surprising to behold. We caught also some porpoises and other species of fish. The weather was favorable as far as Belle Isle, [21] where we were overtaken by fogs, which continued three or four days. The weather then becoming fair, we sighted Alvert, [22] and arrived at La Rochelle on the 16th of September, 1611. ENDNOTES: 16. June 13th. 17. _Charioquois_. In the issue of 1632, p. 397, Champlain has _Sauuages Hurons_. It is probable that Charioquois was only a chief of the Hurons. 18. This was the young man that had been sent to pass the winter with the Indians, in exchange for the savage which had accompanied Champlain to France. _Vide antea_, Vol. II. p. 246. 19. This was doubtless on the Lake of Two Mountains. 20. Champlain's orthography is here _Aronadabigeau. Vide_ Vol. I pp. 236, 291. 21. Belle Ile. An island on the coast of Brittany in France. 22. Alvert, a village near Marennes, which they sighted as they approached La Rochelle. CHAPTER IV.
