"The Hurons."
"How many are there?"
"Only four did we encounter. Of these I saw one fall, and believe that the Beaver, who was separated from me, killed another. One leaped into the water and one I know escaped from the Beaver."
"Were you on land or on the water?"
"We were on land, and this is the canoe in which the Hurons came."
"Where did it happen?"
"At the beginning of a river that leads to the wide waters lying towards the rising sun."
"What know you of these wide waters? Have you been to them?"
"Shortly before the coming of darkness were we there, and we turned back to bring news of the war-party that we saw."
"Hurons?"
