CHAMPLAIN'S EXPEDITIONS.

[Voyages de la Nouv: France, par le Sr. de Champlain; Paris, M.DC.XXXIl.]

INTO NORTHERN NEW-YORK- Anno 1609.

Departure from the Sault of the Iroquois River; Description of a Great Lake; Rencoimtre with the enemies on said Lake and the mode and conduct observed in going to attack the Iroquois.

I LEFT the Rapid 1 of the said River of the Iroquois on the 2nd of July. (1609.) All the Savages began carrying their canoes, arms and traps over land about a league and a half, to avoid the current and force of the Rapid, Tliis was quickly efiected.

They immediately launched the canoes into the water, two men in each with their bagage, whilst one of the men went by land about a league and a half, which was the probable extent of said Rapid, tho' not so violent as at the foot, except at some points v/here rocks obstructed the River which is no more than three to four hundred paces wide. After the Rapid was passed, though not without trouble, all the Indians who had gone by land over a pretty good road and level country, though covered witli timber, re-embarked in their canoes.
