Each night the Indians camped ashore
and each night the scalps OF the French
men were ill peril. as some of the Sioux
were bent killing them. For safety
Hennepin and his companions slept along
side the friendly chief In the morning
when Hennepin opened his brevary and
began his morning devotions the Indians
showed alarm. They thought lie was in
voking bad spirits and he had TO cease.
One old chief. whose son had been killed
by the Miamis. was particularly anxious
to have Hennepins scalp to Soothe his
lacerated heart. and this old fellow would
hang around the monk and feel his head
and utter loud lamentations.
Nineteen days after the capture the In
dians arrived at what is now st. Paul.
Here the war party to divide, as IL
was made up of various tribes scattered
throughout northern Minnesota. Again
the disposition Of the three Frenchmen
was debated. Hennepin was allotted to
the old chief who itched for the monk s
scalp. Accau was given to another tribe
and Du Guy to still another. Hennepin
had employed his time studying the Sioux
language, and soon won such favor with
the old chief that the old man decided to
adopt him as his son.

Although it was May when the war

sent the Griffon back with the cargo in

In canoes La Sale. Hennepin and
twelve others skirted the shore of Lake
Michigan. bound for the mouth of the
st. Joseph river, where Tonty was to
meet them. The weather was tempes-
tuous, and they had d desperate time of
it. When they reached the river Tonty
had not arrived. The men were mutinous,
but La Sale and Hennepin held them in
check. and at last when, in December.
Tonty arrived. the members of the little
part proceeded up the ST. Joseph to the
present site of South Bend. where they
shouldered their canoes and marched
overland in search of the headwaters of
the Illinois.
After wandering about a long time they
found a spot where a tiny stream trickIed
out of the oozy soil. Into this thread
of water they put their canoes and fol-
lowed its course. 1t was like sailing on
land. but gradually the stream widened,
and early in the new year they reached
Peoria lake, and then made their way
downward to the present site of Peoria
Near this spot they came suddenly upon
d large Indian encampment. Getting
sight of the Frenchmen. the Indians be-
came panic-strcken. Some fed. others
howled and a few seized war clubs. La
Sale knew how to handle Indians, and,
putting on a bold front. he led his little
party ashore and drew his force up ready
for battle or for peace Two of the
chiefs came forward with the calumet
while others sought to restrain the young
bucks, who were preparing to use their
bows and arrows. La Sale displayed an
other calumet and presented some to-
bacco and hatchets to the two ENJOYS

1t was February %. 1850 that Henne-

from Fort Crevecoeur. They had a stock
of beads, tobacco. knives and trinkets to
give to Indians they encountered, but they

party of 100 Sioux came down the river

Sioux warriors. and when they learned
from Hennepin that the Miams were far
down the river and safe from pursuit
they were bitter IN their lamentations.
To soften their sorrow at losing the
Miamis many of them thought the proper
thing to do was to massacre Hennepin
and his companions. They held council

prevailed. The war party re-embarked IN
