﻿HISTORY 
  OF 
  THE 
  NEW 
  YORK 
  IROQUOIS 
  259 
  

  

  The 
  New 
  England 
  people 
  thought 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations 
  should 
  

   help 
  them 
  against 
  the 
  French 
  Indians 
  ; 
  and, 
  when 
  two 
  Mohawk 
  

   spies 
  returned 
  from 
  Canada 
  in 
  1709, 
  the 
  governor 
  advised 
  them 
  

   to 
  go 
  by 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence, 
  as 
  war 
  parties 
  were 
  on 
  Lake 
  Cham- 
  

   plain, 
  and 
  they 
  might 
  be 
  killed. 
  A 
  large 
  party 
  had 
  gone 
  against 
  

   New 
  England 
  ; 
  and 
  Governor 
  Vaudreuil 
  had 
  heard 
  the 
  hatchet 
  

   was 
  placed 
  in 
  the 
  hands 
  of 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations, 
  but 
  he 
  would 
  let 
  

   the 
  English 
  strike 
  first. 
  Then 
  he 
  could 
  easily 
  take 
  Albany 
  at 
  

   any 
  time. 
  

  

  Joncaire 
  could 
  not 
  be 
  everywhere 
  ; 
  and, 
  while 
  he 
  was 
  with 
  

   the 
  Senecas, 
  Abraham 
  Schuyler 
  sang 
  the 
  war 
  song 
  at 
  Onon- 
  

   daga, 
  giving 
  the 
  hatchet 
  to 
  the 
  Indians. 
  He 
  induced 
  Father 
  

   Lamberville 
  to 
  go 
  to 
  Montreal 
  to 
  report, 
  and 
  then 
  persuaded 
  

   Father 
  de 
  Mareuil 
  that 
  his 
  life 
  was 
  in 
  danger 
  and 
  took 
  him 
  to 
  

   Albany. 
  Some 
  Onondagas 
  then 
  pillaged 
  and 
  burned 
  his 
  house 
  

   and 
  chapel. 
  Joncaire 
  heard 
  of 
  this 
  and 
  thought 
  it 
  best 
  to 
  keep 
  

   away, 
  returning 
  to 
  his 
  Seneca 
  friends, 
  where 
  Father 
  d'Heu 
  

   then 
  was. 
  

  

  Peter 
  Schuyler 
  had 
  persuaded 
  all 
  but 
  the 
  Senecas 
  to 
  side 
  with 
  

   the 
  English; 
  but 
  the 
  Mohawks 
  and 
  Onondagas 
  sent 
  word 
  to 
  

   Canada 
  that 
  they 
  did 
  not 
  really 
  wish 
  war, 
  and 
  40 
  Senecas 
  were 
  

   well 
  received 
  at 
  Montreal 
  by 
  Governor 
  Vaudreuil.

  In 
  1709 
  the 
  chiefs 
  of 
  the 
  Mingoes, 
  Ganawese 
  and 
  Delawares 
  on 
  

   the 
  Susquehanna 
  purposed 
  going 
  to 
  Onondaga 
  with 
  their 
  tribute, 
  

   but 
  the 
  governor 
  of 
  Pennsylvania 
  thought 
  it 
  a 
  bad 
  time, 
  as 
  he 
  

   wished 
  to 
  employ 
  the 
  Five 
  Nations 
  against 
  Canada. 
  Many 
  were

  by 
  the 
  English.
