﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  221 
  

  

  This 
  roused 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  who 
  resented 
  a 
  proposed 
  French 
  arbi- 
  

   tration 
  ; 
  but 
  Garakontie' 
  prevailed 
  and 
  peace 
  was 
  restored. 
  That 
  

   eminent 
  chief 
  was 
  baptized 
  and 
  confirmed 
  by 
  Bishop 
  de 
  Petree 
  

   in 
  the 
  cathedral 
  at 
  Quebec 
  that 
  year. 
  Governor 
  de 
  Courcelle 
  was 
  

   his 
  godfather, 
  and 
  Mile 
  Boutroiiee, 
  daughter 
  of 
  the 
  intendant, 
  his 
  

   godmother. 
  After 
  being 
  conducted 
  to 
  the 
  chateau, 
  " 
  at 
  his 
  first 
  

   entrance 
  he 
  saw 
  himself 
  saluted 
  by 
  a 
  discharge 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  cannon 
  

   of 
  the 
  fort, 
  and 
  of 
  all 
  the 
  musketry 
  of 
  the 
  soldiers 
  who 
  were 
  

   ranged 
  to 
  receive 
  him." 
  A 
  banquet 
  and 
  speeches 
  followed. 
  

  

  Saonchiogwa 
  was 
  baptized 
  soon 
  after, 
  being 
  a 
  Cayuga 
  chief, 
  

   friendly 
  to 
  the 
  French 
  from 
  the 
  first. 
  He 
  restored 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   Ottawa 
  prisoners. 
  Father 
  Carheil 
  was 
  now 
  in 
  charge 
  of 
  the 
  

   Cayuga 
  mission 
  and 
  composed 
  hymns 
  and 
  devotions 
  in 
  that 
  lan- 
  

   guage. 
  When 
  the 
  town 
  was 
  in 
  danger 
  of 
  assault 
  by 
  the 
  Andastes, 
  

   he 
  won 
  the 
  hearts 
  of 
  all 
  by 
  taking 
  his 
  turn 
  as 
  sentinel. 
  At 
  this 
  

   time 
  there 
  were 
  Huron 
  catechists 
  among 
  the 
  Senecas, 
  and 
  a 
  

   Seneca 
  dictionary 
  was 
  in 
  progress. 
  

  

  Governor 
  de 
  Courcelle 
  took 
  prompt 
  action 
  on 
  the 
  murder 
  of 
  

   Indians 
  in 
  1670, 
  calling 
  a 
  council 
  at 
  Montreal 
  and 
  punishing 
  the 
  

   offenders 
  before 
  the 
  Indians. 
  This 
  prevented 
  trouble. 
  Fie 
  for- 
  

   bade 
  war 
  between 
  the 
  Ottawas 
  and 
  Iroquois, 
  which 
  the 
  Senecas 
  

   resented. 
  That 
  year 
  he 
  ascended 
  the 
  river 
  to 
  Lake 
  Ontario, 
  

   alarming 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  much 
  by 
  this 
  simple 
  act. 
  At 
  that 
  time 
  

   the 
  Iroquois 
  had 
  to 
  go 
  north 
  of 
  that 
  lake 
  for 
  beaver 
  and 
  carried 
  

   it 
  all 
  to 
  the 
  Dutch. 
  

  

  In 
  1672 
  peace 
  was 
  formally 
  made 
  at 
  Albany 
  between 
  the 
  Mo- 
  

   hawks 
  and 
  Mahicans. 
  The 
  Onondagas 
  had 
  been 
  quite 
  successful 
  

   against 
  the. 
  Andastes 
  ; 
  but 
  this 
  year 
  some 
  young 
  warriors 
  of 
  that 
  

   nation 
  totally 
  defeated 
  Seneca 
  and 
  Cayuga 
  parties 
  on 
  Cayuga 
  

   lake. 
  In 
  spite 
  of 
  their 
  bravery, 
  the 
  great 
  contest 
  was 
  now 
  

   unequal 
  and 
  the 
  downfall 
  of 
  the 
  Andastes 
  soon 
  followed. 
  

  

  Count 
  Frontenac 
  went 
  up 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  to 
  Lake 
  Ontario 
  

   in 
  July 
  1673, 
  holding 
  a 
  council 
  with 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  near 
  the 
  site 
  

   of 
  Kingston 
  July 
  13, 
  and 
  founding 
  Fort 
  Frontenac, 
  called 
  Cada- 
  

   raqui 
  by 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  and 
  English. 
  Garakontie' 
  spoke, 
  being 
  

   classed 
  among 
  the 
  60 
  influential 
  sachems 
  present.
