Peter's. The latter were soon defeated, and Bressani, after seeing one of his companions devoured before his eyes, was hurried off with the rest up the Sorel River, through Lake Champlain, and over the rough and rocky road that led to the Mohawk, like his predecessor Jogues. When he reached a fishing-village on the Upper Hudson, his torture began. He too ran the gauntlet ; in that fearful race he was crushed beneath their blows : his hand was slit open between the fingers ; and then reaching th...e scaffold, he was handed over to be caressed, that is, tortured in every way. Pricked, burnt, mangled, he was soon one living wound. Several fingers were cut off', his hands and feet burnt and hacked twenty-six times. Condemned to death by a unanimous cry, he was conducted to the first town on the Mo hawk. Here his left hand was slit open; the gauntlet run again ; his hands and feet were torn and mangled ; himself hung up by the feet in chains ; and to crown all, when tied down almost naked on the ground, they laid food on his body, and set their hungry dogs upon it till he was all torn by their teeth.
