It exploded and killed most of the defenders and opened a gap in the <palisade. ‘The Iroquois hurled themselves into the fort and killed thg few . Frenchmen who still ‘breathed. An Troquois who had been. captured by the French told them that his tribe had sworn to des,troy Montreal, Queâ€" bec and Three Rivers.= After thls deâ€" claration he was burned at the stake on a quick fire.. The next day, being the ninth of April, 1660, these generous defenders left Ville Marie in canoes to.begin their glorious <enterprise. On May Ist . they reached the foot of Long Sault Rapids, They entered an abany doned fort where six Algonquins and forty Hurons jointed them. Dollard ordered the Iroquois to camp on the opposite side of the river. Far from obeying the order, the enâ€" emy made an assault npon the fort. For five days they wera thrown back. The Iroquois, despairing Oof success, were just leaving the fort when they received the help of five hundred warâ€" riors from Richelieu. The Hurons, disheartened jumped over the palisadse and told to the Iroquois what a small army was within the fort. Anahotaâ€" ha, the Chief of the Hurons, said, ‘‘I have given my word to the Frenchâ€" men. I will die with them.‘‘ The Iroâ€" quois, after knowing what a small army was within the fort, became fuâ€" rious with rage, and made supreme effort to break down the palisade. Dollard a brave Frenchman, gather ed â€" su:tegn companions as brave as himself to stop the Indians from capâ€" turing the fort at After ten days two hundred Iroâ€" qugis were seen coming up to them howling like angry wolves. . _ ‘(Continued from page 3) â€" â€" eonldn’t ‘do much any more, dashed at the French and killed or injured them. They pwked four out of the. pile of the ‘dead and injured Frenchmen, torâ€" tured three of them and after a few days tortured the other. .â€"*The Iroquois had bought the victory dearly and returned to their homes very angry, and ever after that didn‘t try to do any harm to Montreal. iThe heroism of Dollard and his companions was not in vain, for their death was_ the salvatlon of New France. The Iroquois seeing that such small force made so long a resistance began to fear what would happen to them if they attempted to attack Montreal and Quebec, so they returned to their own country. ' THIRD PRIZE (By Patrick Downey, Junior Third Class, Separate School.) In the spring of 1660 the Iroquois planned to attack Three Rivers, Monâ€" treal and Quebec. ‘The inhabitants were greatly alarmed. They ran and got their muskets, also ibarticading their doors. Daulac Des Ormeaunx told the people he would stop the enemy. He picked seventeen men and prepared for their departure. On May 1st they confessâ€" ed and received Holy ‘Communmion. They ‘came to.â€"Chaudiere Falls, and made their encampment in an old fort. f SECOND PRIZE â€" (By Sonia Charron,> Senior Third Class, Separate School.) ‘The colony was saved. They were joined ‘by forty Huron is in the fort?‘‘ they inquirâ€" ‘|fadians and four Aigonguins, After L zen days the Troquois came two hunâ€" dred stroug.

There were three cars full of the new settlers, They will settle at Red Deer, Alberta, They were given a. Zgry hearty welâ€" come to Canada, being greeted at vaâ€" rious points by receptions. ‘They had a band of pipers with them and so had means of relieving the monotony of the long journey from their island homes. However, the journey is a long and tedious one, by the time they passed over the T.

They soon retired, thinking that Montreal had many such defenders was better for them to leave. In another week five hundred Iro- quois came. j Daulac filled a musket to the muzzle and lit a fuse to it. He was too weak to throw it over and it caught on a branch. fell into the fort, making a large hole in the pahsade The Iroquois only found one man alive to torture. They renewedâ€"attack after attack, but could not get close enough to knock the palisade down. \‘The Huron Indians inside the fort became «discouraged and jumped the palisade and joined the enemy. They asked their chief, Anahota, to come. But he said, ‘‘I have given my word to the Freneh and I will die with them.‘‘ The Iroquoxs attacked again but fell at the foot of the palisade. They made shields to hack down the palisade. WORK TO START ON WHITNEY PORCUPINE GOLD MINES â€"88 â€" H. CHARLEBOIS, â€" Phone 347. â€". 30 Cedar St., Timmins.
