 of what took place, at Quebec, in 1690 ; Pierre Becart, 

 Sieur de Granville, who had been taken prisoner by 

 Phips, near Murray Bay, where he had been sent to 

 watch the New England fleet. Jacques Petit de Ver-

 Marine ; Paul Dupuis, Seignior of Goose Island (pro- 

 cur eur du Roi en la prdvdtd), and for years the pious 

 Seignior of the Island, and father of fifteen children ; 

 he was reputed to be a saint. In such a haunt of game, 

 his sons must have been ardent sportmen, one would
