874 CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT 



he named " Daulphin " as marking the commencement of the fertile country, and from the heavy tide 

 coming from the Southeast, he inferred the non-existence of a passage between Newfoundland and 

 "terre des Bretons." On the "27th," he followed the coast West-southwest about " fifteen" leagues. 

 On the " 28th," he continued " ten " leagues to a cape of red land which he named " St. Pierre ; '' about 

 "four" leagues beyond was another cape, and "five" leagues from this, an island which he called 

 " Allezay." The wind coming from the South a quarter Southwest, he saw no land until the evening 

 of the 30th. On the " 1st of July," he landed in four places to examine the odoriferous and beautiful 

 trees, "cedres, iffs pins" {.-Hies Canadensis), " ormes blans, frainnes, sauldres " {willows), and 

 several others, none however fruit-bearing, and in unwooded tracts " grouaiseliers rouges" {Ribes 

 rubrum) and "franboysses " (Rubns strigosus). On the "2d," he had entered a wide bay in " Lat. 

 47^° ; " and on the " 3d," found the Northern shore high and mountainous, covered with trees, and 

 among them " cedres " and " pruches " large enough for masts of ships of " three hundred " tons or 

 more {Thuya Occidentalis and Abies ni^ra) ; a cape in the South he called " Esperance," in the hope 

 of finding a passage : on " Monday the 6th," in the course of a boat-excursion, had an interview with 

 the natives in " forty or fifty " canoes ; and on the 7th, trade was established, exchanging knives, 

 bits of iron, and other articles for skins of beasts : finding that there was no passage, he named the 

 bay " Chaleur ; " and on " Sunday the 12th," sailed Eastward about " eighteen " leagues to cape "de 

 Pratto," and anchored. " Five or six" leagues Northward was a river, which he entered on the 

 "14th," and where he was detained by bad weather until the "25th;" visited by about "forty" 

 canoes containing men, women, and children, more than " two hundred " in all, who had come to 

 catch mackerel, and in language, manners, and costume, differing from the natives last seen ; the men 

 wearing only a small skin cincture with larger skins thrown over them, and having the head shaved 

 with the exception of a long lock which is tied down with leather thongs ; in their own country, which 

 thev leave only in the fishing season, grow " prunes," also " figues, noix " called " daheya " {Juglans 

 ciuerea), "poires, pommes " {Cratagns tomentosa), and other fruits, " febues " called "sahe" {Pliase- 

 olus vulgaris), and "groz mil comme poix ainsi que au Bresil " (Zea mays). On the "25th," the 

 wind fair, he left the river and followed the coast East-northeast " twenty" leagues to where it turned 

 Northwest. Continuing along the coast, on the " 2S1I1 " he reached a cape in " Lat. 493- ," and named 

 it " St. Loys ; " and on the " 29th," reached land in " Lat. 50°." On " Saturday August 1st," he per- 

 ceived other land in the North and Northeast, mountainous in the distance ; following this North- 

 east, and on the " 5th," having made in all only " twenty-five " leagues, he passed over in boats to 

 land in sight in the South (Anticosti) ; on regaining the ships, a council was held, and it was decided 

 to return to France. The wind becoming favourable, he followed the Northern land East-southeast 

 "twenty-five" leagues to a low cape, where natives came on board without hesitation, stating that a 

 captain Thiennot was there and had laden his ships with fish ; the cape was therefore named "Thien- 

 not." The direction of the coast changing, he sailed East-noriheast, and on the 8th, saw Newfound- 

 land between the " Granches " and cape " Double." On the "9th," he entered Blanc Sablon ; and 

 on the " 15th," sailed thence for Saint Malo in France, where he arrived " Sept. 5th."
