Sauf-au Recollet. 



GREY pieces of rock-done are to be feen 

 in the woods and fields hereabouts. 



THE leaves of feveral trees and plants be- 

 gan now to get a pale hue; efpecially thofe 

 of the red maple, the fmooth fumach *, 

 the Polygonumfaglttatum^ LINN, and fe- 

 veral of the ferns. 



A GREAT crofs is eredled on the road, 

 and the boy who {hewed me the wood, told 

 me that aperfon was buried there, who had 

 wrought great miracles. 



AT noon I arrived at Saut au Re collet > 

 which is a little place, fituated on a branch 

 of the river St. Lawrence, which flows 

 with a violent current between the iiles of 

 Montreal and Jcfus. It has got its name 

 from an accident which happened to a re- 

 collet friar, called Nicolas Veil, in the year 

 1625. He went into a boat with a convert- 

 ed Indian, and fome Indians of the nation of 

 Hurons, in order to go to .Quebec ; bur, on 

 going over this place in the river, the boat 

 overfet, anc) both the friar and his profelyte 

 were drowned. The Indians (who have 

 been fufpe<fted of occasioning the overfet- 

 ting of the boat) f warn to the more, faved 

 what they could of -the friars effects, and 



kept them.
