  in 
  these, 
  and 
  mass 
  and 
  a 
  Te 
  Deum 
  were 
  sung 
  in 
  the 
  chapel 
  

   before 
  he 
  left 
  there 
  that 
  year. 
  Lamberville 
  was 
  well 
  received 
  by 
  

   all 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  except 
  Dekanissora's 
  family, 
  and 
  of 
  them 
  

   there 
  are 
  conflicting 
  accounts. 
  Joncaire 
  was 
  adopted 
  by 
  the 
  

   Senecas. 
  That 
  year 
  also 
  Garakontie' 
  2 
  died, 
  ceasing 
  only 
  with 
  

   his 
  last 
  breath 
  his 
  kindness 
  to 
  the 
  French. 
  His 
  nephew 
  took 
  

   his 
  place 
  as 
  French 
  correspondent 
  at 
  Onondaga. 
  Charlevoix 
  

   said 
  that 
  the 
  old 
  chief 
  " 
  found 
  more 
  than 
  once 
  the 
  means 
  of 
  

   defeating 
  the 
  intrigues 
  of 
  the 
  English, 
  and 
  to 
  him 
  we 
  were 
  fre- 
  

   quently 
  indebted 
  for 
  safety 
  in 
  the 
  most 
  serious 
  difficulties." 
  

  

  Lord 
  Cornbury 
  feared 
  the 
  loss 
  of 
  three 
  of 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations 
  ; 
  

   and 
  it 
  was 
  quite 
  generally 
  recognized 
  that 
  English 
  missionaries 
  

   among 
  them 
  had 
  become 
  a 
  political 
  necessity. 
  In 
  a 
  council 
  in 
  

   1702 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  chiefs 
  sang 
  a 
  mournful 
  song 
  on 
  the 
  death 
  of 
  

   King 
  William. 
  

  

  In 
  1704 
  the 
  Iroquois 
  again 
  had 
  trouble 
  with 
  the 
  western 
  

   Indians. 
  The 
  Ottawas 
  had 
  carried 
  off 
  30 
  Senecas 
  near 
  Fort 
  

   Frontenac 
  and 
  had 
  treacherously 
  attacked 
  them 
  elsewhere, 
  being 
  

   determined 
  on 
  war. 
  By 
  good 
  fortune 
  the 
  commander 
  at 
  Detroit 
  

   was 
  able 
  to 
  restore 
  the 
  prisoners 
  the 
  Ottawas 
  had 
  made. 
  M. 
  de 
  

   Maricourt 
  had 
  died, 
  and 
  his 
  brother, 
  Baron 
  de 
  Longueuil, 
  suc- 
  

   ceeded 
  him 
  at 
  Onondaga. 
  Peter 
  Schuyler 
  sent 
  belts 
  to 
  the 
  Can- 
  

   adian 
  Iroquois 
  ; 
  but 
  the 
  French 
  got 
  hold 
  of 
  them 
  and 
  had 
  them 
  

   returned 
  by 
  the 
  Onondagas 
  without 
  answer. 
  That 
  year 
  some 
  

   Iroquois 
  chiefs 
  were 
  at 
  a 
  council 
  in 
  Pennsylvania, 
  and 
  questions 
  

   of 
  land 
  and 
  southern 
  warfare 
  brought 
  them 
  there 
  with 
  increasing 
  

   frequency. 
  

  

  In 
  1706 
  Vaudreuil 
  sent 
  Joncaire 
  to 
  Michilimackinac 
  to 
  main- 
  

   tain 
  the 
  peace 
  between 
  the 
  Ottawas 
  and 
  Iroquois, 
  the 
  safety 
  of 
  

   Canada 
  depending 
  on 
  peace 
  with 
  the 
  latter. 
  The 
  Ottawas 
  prom- 
  

   ised 
  to 
  make 
  reparation, 
  and, 
  though 
  slow 
  about 
  it, 
  at 
  last 
  did 
  so. 
  

  

  An 
  Indian 
  showed 
  a 
  fine 
  belt 
  of 
  21 
  rows 
  at 
  Philadelphia 
  in 
  

   1706, 
  " 
  which 
  Belt, 
  he 
  said, 
  was 
  a 
  pledge 
  of 
  peace 
  formerly 
  

   delvd. 
  by 
  the 
  Onondagoe 
  Indians, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  5 
  Nations 
  to 
  the 
  

   Nantikokes, 
  when 
  they 
  made 
  the 
  said 
  Nantikokes 
  tributaries." 
  

   The 
  Iroquois 
  would 
  soon 
  receive 
  this 
  tribute, 
  which 
  had 
  then
