Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. After leaving Tadoussac, Laure goes to the Jere mie Islets, among the Papinachois - whose origin he ascribes to some Basque fisherman, who, ship wrecked on their shores with some Eve, has been their unfortunate Adam Among these people Laure finds great interest in the gospel, and the utmost kindness toward himself. He undertakes to reestablish the Chicoutimi mission, in which he is greatly aided by the Cooperation and excellent judg ment of the clerk in the trading post there. A plain but well-appointed church, and a house for the missionary, are built (1726 A large number of resident savages would complete his happiness; but there is nothing for them to live upon. He suggests that the trading company would do well to support the Indians here, during three months of the year, in order to prevent their completely destroy ing the summer beaver, whose fur is worthless. He also urges that a small fund be established for supporting and instructing Montagnais children during the winter, that they may become preachers of Christian doctrine among their relatives. Laure proposes to his superior the extension of the Saguenay mission. He desires to go to Labrador.
