"I did not go to see thetn^itch which was now to Ih* played without the fort, because, there being a caiioe prepared to I depait un tite following day for Mo.itreal, â-  I employed myself in writias; letters to my friends I liestrd an Indian war- cry, and a noise of general confusion. "Going instantly to my •jrindcw, I saw a crowd of Indians, within the foit, furiouxly cutting down and scalping every Englishman they fvund ; in paiticular, I witnessi-d the fate of Lieutenant Jainette. "I had, in the room in which I w:is, a fowliiiir-piece, loaded with swan shot. This I iiu mediately seized, and held it for a few minutes, waiting to hear the drum l>eat to arms. In this dreadful interval I saw tevetal of my countrymen fall, and more than one struggled between the knees of an Indian, who, holding him iu this manner, scalped hiui while yet liviug. "At length, disappointed iu the hope of seein<{ resistance uadu to the enemy, and seusiblo, of course, that no rtforc of my own uiiitssisted arm could avail aj,'aiDSt four-hundred Indians, I thought only of seeking shelter amid tiic slaughter which was vauiug. 1 observed many of the Canadian inlmbitanls of the fort culmly looking on, neitiier opposiii)., the Indian.'* nor sutfori tig injury : I conceived a hopu of finding security iu their houses. '•Bocwe. n the yard door of my own X,,^- ;int! that of M. Langlade, my nn"* neiunbor, there was only a low feuoe,over which I easily climbed. At my entrance, I found the whole family at the window, gszing at the scene of blaod before them. I addrcKsed myself iuiir.ediately to M. Langlade, begging that he would put me into some place of safety until the heat of the alfair should be over; an act of charity by which he might, perhaps, preserve me from the i^eueral massacre ; but while I uttered my petition, M. Langlade, who had looked for a moment at me, turned again to the window, shrugging his shoul- ders, and intimating that be could do nothing for me. "This was a inoment. of despair ; but the next a Paui woman, a slave of M. Langlade's, beckimed me to follow her. She brought mo to a door which she open- ed, desiring me to enter, and telling me that it led to the garret, which I must go and conceal myself. I joyfully obeyi-d her Jitectir.iis^an^^^[,«,„J^j;^i-j^ ^flir me,' rd!Vi'h great presence of mind, took away the key. '•This shelter oblamea, if shelter I could hope to find it, I wks naturally anxio .8 to know what might still bo pass- ing without. ThrouKh an aperture. which atf.-rded me a view of the area of the fort, I beheld, iu shapes the foulest and most terrible, the ferocious triumphs of biir- t.ario ctmquerots. The dead were scalp- ed and mangled ; the dying were writhe- i„K and shrieking under tho unsattated knife and tomahawk; and from the bodies of some, rippe.1 open, their butchers were drinking the bUnid, scooped up m the hollow of joined hands, and quaffed amid shouts of raise B«d victory. 1 was shak.-'ii not only with horror, but with fear. walked in every direction about the garret; and (me of them approached me so closely, that, at a particular moment had he put forth his hand, he must hiive touched me. Still I remained undiscovered." The ludians after a time went away, but Henry- pat iu a night of extreme anxiety, expecting their return any moment. Here be remained all tho next day in hiding and following night. The second morning Langlade, fearing the In- dians, delivered Henry to their tender mercies. He was seized by ou^- Wenni- way, who raised a large knifu as if to slay hun, but dropped bis hand, and adopted Uaury to replace a broth- r he had lost in the war. He was left in Langlade's charge in the mea.itime. Later an Indian who owec Henry tried to murder him but was frustrated. That night the Indians were all drunk. After some days of harrowing experienccav Wawatam appeare<l on the scene and claimed Flenry from the (;bief, Minnavavana, in a most wonderful speech which Henry reproduces. Wawatam's re- quest was acceded to and Henry passed the following winter with his preserver on his hunting ground iu northuru Michigan, afterward.s tiuding his way to Montreal. The complete story is told by Henry i.s thrilling in the extreme. We have con- densed about one half of it. ncFARLAND, STAFFORD & CO. HARKDALE, ONT. . . .
