4© Some New Voyages 



' Happinefs, in having left under Ground 



Peace. ' ten dy'd with the blood of the French. 



c I mail tell you, Onnontio, I am not a- 

 ' fleep, my Eyes are open ; and the Sun that vouch- 

 c fafes the lights gives me a clear view of a great 

 c Captain at the head of a Troop of Soldiers, who 

 c fpeaks as if he were afleep. He pretends that he 

 c do's not approach to this Lake with any other 

 c view, than to fmoak with the Onnotagues in the 

 € great Calumet ; but the Grmgula knows better 

 € things, he fees plainly that the Onnmtio mean'd to 



* knock 'em on the Head, if the French Arms had 



* not been fo much weaken'd. 



c I perceive that the Onnontio raves in a Gamp of 

 c fick People, whofe lives the great Spirit has fav'd 



* by vifiting them with Infirmities. Do you hear, 

 € Onnontio, our Women had took up their Clubbs ; 

 c angi the Children and the old Men, had vifited 

 € your; Camp with their Bows and Arrows, if our 

 c Warlike Men had not ftop'd and difarm'd ? em, 

 ' when Ahuejfan your A mbafiadour appeared before 

 c my Village, But I have done, Fll talk no more 

 I of that. 



' You mufl know, Onnontio, we have robb'd no 

 c French-Men, but thofe who fupply'd the Illinefe and 



* the Onmamis (our Enemies) with Fufees,with Pow- 

 c der, and with Ball : Thefe indeed we took care 

 ' of, becaufe fuch Arms might have coft us our life. 



* Our Condud in that point is of a piece with that 



* of the Jefuits, who ftaveallthe barrels of Brandy 

 € that are brought to our Cantons, left the People 



* getting drunk fhould knock them in the Head. 



* Our Warriours have no Beavers to give in ex- 

 € change for all the Arms they take from the French j 

 c and as far the old fuperannuated People, they do 

 .* not think of bearing Arms.
