ENDNOTES:
357. In the title above, Champlain calls this his SECOND VOYAGE, by which he means doubtless to say that this is the second voyage which he had undertaken as lieutenant. The first and second voyages, of 1603 and of 1604, were not made under his direction.
358. Portland in Dorsetshire, England.
359. Isle d'Huy. This plainly refers to the Isle of Wight. On Ortelius's
carte of 1603. it is spelled Vigt: and the orthography, obtained
probably through the ear and not the eye, might easily have been
mistaken by Champlain.
360. La Hougue. There are two small islands laid down on the carte of
Ortelius. 1603, under the name Les Hougueaux, and a hamlet nearby
called Hougo, which is that, doubtless, to which Chaimplain here
refers.
361. Comparing this statement with the context, it will be clear that the
passage should read the 8th, and not the 18th of April. The "Islands
of St. Pierre," Isles S. Pierre, includes the Island of St. Peter
and the cluster surrounding it.
362. M. Ferland infers from this statement that the Basques, Normans, and Bretons had been accustomed for the last sixty years, from the last voyage of Roberval in 1549, to extend their fishing and fur-trading voyages as far as Tadoussac.—Vide Cours d'Hist. du Canada, as cited by Laverdière.
363. Captain Pierre Chavin, of Dieppe. Vide antea, p. 227.
