At eleven at night, they were roused by a loud voice inthe Indian camp, and saw Le Borgne, the one-eyed chief of AllumetteIsland, walking round among the huts, haranguing as he went. Brebeuf, listening, caught the import of his words. "We have begged the Frenchcaptain to spare the life of the Algonquin of the Petite Nation whom hekeeps in prison; but he will not listen to us. The prisoner will die. Then his people will revenge him. They will try to kill the threeblack-robes whom you are about t...o carry to your country. If you do notdefend them, the French will be angry, and charge you with their death. But if you do, then the Algonquins will make war on you, and the riverwill be closed. If the French captain will not let the prisoner go, then leave the three black-robes where they are; for, if you take themwith you, they will bring you to trouble. " Such was the substance of Le Borgne's harangue. The anxious priestshastened up to the fort, gained admittance, and roused Champlain from hisslumbers.
