﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  171 
  

  

  for 
  several 
  days 
  in 
  great 
  discomfort, 
  but 
  the 
  boats 
  were 
  reached 
  

   in 
  safety. 
  

  

  Two 
  days 
  later 
  Brule 
  and 
  his 
  Indians 
  came 
  and 
  did 
  nothing. 
  

   The 
  Iroquois 
  were 
  encouraged, 
  having 
  beaten 
  the 
  white 
  men 
  ; 
  the 
  

   Oneidas 
  were 
  not 
  destroyed, 
  nor 
  the 
  confederacy 
  severed 
  in 
  

   twain. 
  The 
  forest 
  fight 
  had 
  far-reaching 
  consequences, 
  though 
  

   it 
  may 
  be 
  doubted 
  whether 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  had 
  a 
  lasting 
  resentment 
  

   against 
  the 
  French 
  because 
  of 
  this. 
  Champlain 
  went 
  back 
  to 
  

   the 
  Huron 
  country, 
  where 
  he 
  spent 
  the 
  winter. 
  The 
  next 
  spring 
  

   he 
  could 
  get 
  no 
  guides, 
  as 
  the 
  Hurons 
  wished 
  to 
  retain 
  him 
  for 
  

   another 
  expedition, 
  but 
  at 
  last 
  he 
  got 
  away. 
  Brule 
  spent 
  the 
  

   winter 
  at 
  Carantouan 
  or 
  Big 
  Tree, 
  and 
  explored 
  the 
  Susque- 
  

   hanna 
  to 
  the 
  sea. 
  He 
  did 
  not 
  return 
  to 
  the 
  French 
  till 
  1618, 
  and 
  

   then 
  had 
  a 
  curious 
  tale 
  to 
  tell. 
  Trying 
  to 
  cross 
  the 
  country 
  of 
  

   the 
  Iroquois, 
  he 
  fell 
  into 
  their 
  hands, 
  and 
  escaped 
  death 
  by 
  his 
  

   boldness, 
  tact 
  and 
  good 
  luck. 
  He 
  visited 
  Lake 
  Superior 
  and 
  the 
  

   copper 
  mines 
  during 
  this 
  period, 
  and 
  at 
  a 
  later 
  day 
  was 
  killed 
  in 
  

   a 
  Huron 
  town. 
  

  

  Meanwhile 
  the 
  Dutch 
  were 
  trading 
  on 
  the 
  Hudson, 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  

   the 
  head 
  of 
  navigation, 
  and 
  two 
  maps 
  have 
  been 
  published 
  

   assigned 
  to 
  1614 
  and 
  1616, 
  containing 
  a 
  good 
  deal 
  relating 
  to 
  

   the 
  interior 
  west 
  of 
  that 
  river. 
  One 
  of 
  these 
  is 
  partly 
  repro- 
  

   duced, 
  and 
  is 
  on 
  a 
  smaller 
  scale 
  than 
  the 
  older 
  one. 
  The 
  latter 
  

   has 
  the 
  Maquaas 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  river, 
  and 
  on 
  

   the 
  south 
  side 
  the 
  Canoomakers, 
  probably 
  an 
  Indian 
  and 
  not 
  

   European 
  word. 
  South 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  lake 
  are 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  and 
  on 
  

   what 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  Chemung 
  at 
  Carantouan 
  are 
  the 
  Gachoos. 
  The 
  

   Capitanasses 
  and 
  Minquaas 
  are 
  farther 
  down 
  the 
  Susquehanna, 
  

   the 
  latter 
  people 
  extending 
  far 
  eastward. 
  Between 
  these, 
  but 
  

   farther 
  west, 
  are 
  the 
  Iottecas. 
  This 
  is 
  the 
  map 
  of 
  1614, 
  and 
  the 
  

   maker 
  of 
  it 
  said 
  : 
  

  

  Of 
  what 
  Kleynties 
  and 
  his 
  Comrade 
  have 
  Communicated 
  to 
  me 
  

   respecting 
  the 
  locality 
  of 
  the 
  Rivers, 
  and 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  

   Tribes 
  which 
  they 
  found 
  in 
  their 
  Expedition 
  from 
  the 
  Maquaas 
  

   into 
  the 
  interior 
  and 
  along 
  the 
  New 
  River 
  downwards 
  to 
  the 
  

   Ogehage, 
  (that 
  is 
  to 
  say, 
  the 
  Enemies 
  of 
  the 
  aforesaid 
  northern 
  

   tribes,) 
  I 
  can 
  not 
  at 
  present 
  find 
  any 
  thing 
  at 
  hand, 
  except 
  two
