wanted TO kill the Indian instantly,
but Bernard would not allow it, for, he
said, they should leave him to deal
with his daughters lover.
When the party reached Kaskaskia
the girl was placed in the convent
there. Then Bernard took the Indian
to the bank Of the Mississippi and
binding him tightly to a log turned
him adrift in the river. As the help
less Indian drifted away to his death
he raised his eyes to heaven and
cursed Bernard. who, he declared. would
die a violent death. The Indians last
words were a prophecy that within 200
years the waters which were then
bearing him away would sweep from
the earth every vestige OF the town,
so that only the name would be left.
The unhappy girl died in the con-
vent. Bernard was killed in 1712 in
duel. The last trace Of Kaskasia has
been obliterated. On dark and stormy
nights the ghost of the Indian is said
to appear. The specter, with strong
arms bound and face upturned. floats
