Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!
Three cheers for love, Fair lady love, Three cheers for love, Hurrah ! Hurrah !
Colonel Clark: "The song is pretty and the subject, too; but trapper (turning to Saunders), I would hear from you about the man they Rochblave call, and what trained soldiers guard the wall?" Then, eagerly, one and another of the trappers and hunters say: "Kaskaskia lies upon the bank of the Missis- sippi shore." ''The town is built in a stockade." "And soldiers guard the door." "The
...governor a Frenchman is." "But English is the law." "If you sail a boat, or row, or float, it will bring you safely o'er." Colonel Clark: "Soldiers, fortune on us smiles. Ere sunrise, we'll be many miles nearer to our journey's end.
We are ready, (to Saunders) lead thou, friend." ACT SECOND— SCENE FIRST.
The curtain rises upon the village of Kaskaskia.
Within the wooden stockade fifty or seventy-five block- houses are grouped in horseshoe fashion upon a central plat or field of green. In the center of this esplanade stands a tall flag pole on whose summit floats the English "ensign." All about this huge lawn are strolling the inhabitants of Kaskaskia, men, women and children, French soldiers in British uniforms, hunters, trappers, while here and there among the happy throng one catches i3l a glimpse of priestly vestments (for one must not forget that in 1778 there was an established Jesuit college in Kaskaskia) .
