He knelt in the forest of Prangins on the banks of Lake Leman, invok- Heroes 115 ing the blessing of God on the perilous expe- dition. He led the nine hundred heroes, after crossing the lake at its narrowest point, away from the chief roads in Savoy, to avoid the French troops sent to arrest their progress, remounting to the sources of the rivers, never approaching large towns, following the crests of the snowy mountains from precipice to precipice, and reaching at last the beloved land. Arnaud..., at the beginning of the expedi- tion, was not its chosen leader, but only one of the three pastors who were to counsel the General Turrel. But Turrel, on the seventh day, was killed, after having shown that he had lost faith in the enterprise. Arnaud then became the chief, and his name, to- gether with that of Janavel, who planned it, is now inseparably connected with the "Glori- ous Return." Courage similar to this was shown by the men of Saluzzo, a colony of the Waldenses which was afterwards destroyed.
