We brought you here be- cause it suited us ! We keep you here as long as it suits us ! We take you back when it suits us ! " >• Ben Gillam was dumfounded to find that he had been trapped, when he had all the while thought that he was acting the part of a clever spy. He broke out in a storm of abuse. Radisson remanded the foolish young man to a French guard. At the mess-room table Radisson addressed his prisoner: — " Gillam, to-day I set out to capture your fort.'* At the table sat less than thi...rty men. Young Gillam gave one scornful glance at the French faces and laughed. "If you had a hundred men instead of twenty," he jeered. " How many have you, Ben ? " " Nine ; and they'll kill you before you reach the palisades." RADISSON GIVES UP A CAREER 173 Radisson was not talking of killing. " Gillam," he returned imperturbably, " pick out nine of my men, and I have your fort within forty- eight hours." Gillam chose the company, and Radisson took one of the Hudson Bay captives as a witness.
