Our's commenced calling me in a loud voice, and making way for me opened in two, and placed me at their head, marching about 20 paces in advance, until I was within 30 paces of the enemy. The moment they saw me, they halted gazing at me and I at them. When I saw them preparing to shoot at us, I raised my arquebus, and aiming directly at one of the three Cliiefs, tuo of them fell to the ground by this shot and one of their companions received a wound of which he died afterwards. I had put 4 balls in my arquebus. Our's, on witnessing a shot so favorable for them, set up such tremendous shouts that thunder could not have been heard ; and yet, there was no lack of arrov,'S on one side and the other. The Iroquois were greatly astonished seeing two men killed so instantaneously, nothwithstanding they w^ere provided with arrow-proof armour woven of cotton-thread and wood ; this frightened them very much. Whilst I was re-loading, one of my companions in the bush fired a sliot, which so astonislied them anew, seeing their Cliiefs slain, that they lost courage, took to flight and abandoned the field and their fort, liiding themselves in the depths of tlie forest, whither pui'suing them, I killed some others. Our savages also killed several of them and took ten or twelve prisoners. The rest carried off" the wounded. Fifteen or sixteen of ours were wounded by arrows ; they were promptly cured.
