CONDITION OF THE SETTLEMENT, TOOK A ROUND ABUOT WAY AND ARRIVED AT THE GATES UNEXPECTEDLY. AN

MISSION, HASTENED FROM PLACE TO PLACE, GIVING ABSOLUTION TO THE CHRISTIANS AND BAQTIZING THE
CHILDREN AND CATECHUMENS, TOTALLYUNMINDFUL OF HIS OWN FATE. WHILE THUS EMPLOYED HE WAS SHOT
DOWN BY THE MUSKETS OF AN IROQUOIS. HE STROVE TO R EACH A DYING MAN WHOM HE THOUGHT HE COULD
HELP, BUT AFTER THREE ATTEMPTS, HE COLLAPSED, AND SUBSEQUENTLY RECEIVED HIS DEATH-BLOW FROM A
HATCHET WHICH PENETRATED TO THE BRAIN. SOME OF HIS INDIAN CONVERTS BURIED HIM ON THE SPOT
WHERE THE CHURCH HAD STOOD. FATHER NEOL CHABANEL, THE MISSIONARY COMPANION OF GARNIER, WAS
IMMEDIATELY RECALLED. HE HAD STARTED ON HIS WAY BACK WITH SOME CHRISTIAN HURONS WHEN THEY
