— Meeting with Tonty. — Preparation. — De- parture. In tracing the adventures of Tonty and the rovings of Hennepin, we have lost sight of La Salle, the pivot of the enterprise. Returning from the desola- tion and horror in the valley of the Illinois, he had spent the winter at Foil; Miami, on the St. Joseph, by the borders of Lake Michigan. Here he might have brooded on the redoubled ruin that had befallen him, — the desponding friends, the exulting foes ; the wasted energies, the crushing load... of debt, the stormy past, the black and lowering future. But his mind was of a different temper. He had no thought but to grapple with adversity, and out of the fragments, / of his ruin to build up the fabric of success. He would not recoil; but he modified his plans to meet the new contingency. His white enemies had found, or rather perhaps had made, a savage ally in the Iroquois. Their incursions must be stopped, or 284 LA SALLE BEGINS ANEW. [1681, his enterprise would come to nought ; and he thought he saw the means by which this new danger could be converted into a source of strength.
