The enemy occupied a strongly fortified town south of Lake Oneida, which they de- fended with much skill. After nearly a week of futile fighting, during which Champlain himself received an arrow in the knee and another in the leg, the in- vaders began their retreat, carrying the wounded with them. The Hurons had promised to furnish Champlain with guides to take him to Quebec, but as he had not brought them victory they one and all began to make excuses. Nothing therefore remained but that he mu...st re- turn and spend the winter with them. They reached Cahiague, near the pres- ent town of Orillia, two days before 17 THE STORY OF THE HURONS. Christmas, and here, with the exception of visits to neighboring tribes in what are now the counties of Simcoe, Grey, Bruce and Dufferin, and to the Nipissings in the north, he remained until the following May. The Huron mission languished between 1617 and 1622, although Father Poullain visited the Nipissing country during the summer of 1619. Work was resumed in 1623, when Le Caron returned, accom- panied by Brother Sagard, the historian, and Father Viel.
