Louis. The Iroquois came on behind like a wolf pack. " Escape ! Escape ! Run to the woods, Black Robes ! There is yet time, " the Indian converts urged Brebeuf ; but the lion- hearted stood steadfast, though Lalemant, new to scenes of carnage, turned white and trembled in spite of his resolution. THE FIGHT AT ST. LOUIS 89 " Who would protect the women if the men fled like deer to the woods?" demanded Brebeuf, and the tigerish yells of the on-rushing horde answered the question. Before day dawn ...had tipped the branches of the leafless trees with shafted sunlight, the enemy were hacking furiously at the palisades. Trapped and cornered, the most timid of animals will fight. With such fury, reckless from desperation, cherish- ing no hope, the Hurons now fought, but they were handicapped by lack of guns and balls. Thirty Iroquois had been slain, a hundred wounded, and the assailants drew off for breath. It was only the lull between two thunder- claps. A moment later they were on St. Louis' walls and had hacked through a dozen places.
