  nations 
  of 
  the 
  neighboring 
  country, 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  part, 
  attended. 
  

   To 
  proceed 
  with 
  the 
  treaty, 
  the 
  citizens 
  of 
  Rensselaerwyck 
  pro- 
  

   cured 
  a 
  certain 
  Indian, 
  named 
  Agheroense, 
  to 
  attend 
  and 
  serve 
  

   as 
  interpreter, 
  who 
  was 
  well 
  known 
  to 
  the 
  Christians, 
  having 
  

   been 
  much 
  among 
  them. 
  

  

  Kiotsaeton 
  and 
  six 
  other 
  Mohawk 
  deputies 
  came 
  to 
  Montreal. 
  

   Feb. 
  22, 
  1646, 
  and 
  a 
  council 
  followed 
  at 
  Three 
  Rivers 
  May 
  7. 
  

   Bourdon 
  and 
  Togues 
  went 
  to 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  with 
  presents 
  and 
  

   an 
  escort 
  May 
  16. 
  ' 
  They 
  arrived 
  on 
  the 
  eve 
  of 
  S. 
  Sacrement 
  

   at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  a 
  lake 
  which 
  is 
  joined 
  to 
  the 
  great 
  lake 
  of 
  Cham- 
  

   plain. 
  The 
  Indian 
  name 
  is 
  Andiatarocte'. 
  which 
  is 
  to 
  say. 
  There 
  

   where 
  the 
  lake 
  is 
  shut 
  in. 
  The 
  Father 
  named 
  it 
  the 
  lake 
  of 
  

   S. 
  Sacrement." 
  Six 
  leagues 
  from 
  this 
  lake 
  they 
  crossed 
  the 
  Hud- 
  

   son, 
  there 
  called 
  Oiogue'. 
  At 
  the 
  River, 
  and 
  soon 
  came 
  to 
  a 
  fishing- 
  

   place 
  named 
  Ossarague', 
  going 
  thence 
  to 
  Fort 
  Orange. 
  The 
  first 
  

   Mohawk 
  village 
  was 
  reached 
  June 
  7. 
  and 
  was 
  then 
  called 
  Oneu- 
  

   gioure', 
  formerly 
  Osserion. 
  Like 
  most 
  Indian 
  towns 
  it 
  had 
  other 
  

   names. 
  

  

  There 
  Jogues 
  met 
  some 
  Onondagas. 
  whose 
  towns 
  he 
  never 
  

   reached. 
  He 
  made 
  them 
  a 
  present, 
  asking 
  that 
  the 
  French 
  might 
  

   visit 
  their 
  land. 
  The 
  Mohawks 
  remonstrated. 
  They 
  were 
  the 
  

   door 
  of 
  the 
  confederacy 
  and 
  the 
  council 
  fire 
  should 
  be 
  approached 
  

   through 
  them. 
  He 
  held 
  to 
  his 
  point, 
  that 
  the 
  French 
  might 
  go 
  

   to 
  Onondaga 
  in 
  any 
  one 
  of 
  three 
  ways, 
  and 
  gained 
  no 
  Mohawk 
  

   favor 
  by 
  this. 
  

  

  The 
  French 
  stayed 
  but 
  two 
  days, 
  but 
  Togues 
  left 
  a 
  small 
  trunk 
  

   behind 
  him, 
  hoping 
  to 
  return. 
  This 
  caused 
  new 
  suspicions, 
  as 
  

   they 
  feared 
  it 
  might 
  hurt 
  them. 
  The 
  Mohawks 
  hastened 
  their 
  

   departure, 
  as 
  the 
  other 
  nations 
  had 
  parties 
  out 
  against 
  the 
  

   Hurons 
  and 
  they 
  might 
  be 
  molested. 
  

  

  Sep. 
  24. 
  1646, 
  Father 
  Togues 
  left 
  Three 
  Rivers 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  the 
  

   Mohawks 
  for 
  the 
  last 
  time, 
  as 
  he 
  himself 
  thought. 
  A 
  young- 
  

   Frenchman 
  accompanied 
  him. 
  but 
  they 
  were 
  at 
  once 
  seized, 
  

   stripped 
  and 
  threatened 
  when 
  they 
  arrived 
  at 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  town. 
  

   Oct. 
  17. 
  being 
  told 
  they 
  would 
  be 
  killed 
  next 
  day 
  but 
  not 
  burned. 
  

   The 
  Wolf 
  and 
  Turtle 
  clans 
  tried 
  to 
  save 
  them, 
  but 
  the 
  Bears 
  

   had 
  decreed 
  their 
  death. 
  On 
  the 
  evening 
  of 
  the 
  18th 
  Togues 
  was
