Their courage, too, is much oftener displayed in covert than in open attacks.
1641-46.] IROQUOIS AND ALGONQUIN. 841 bands seemed in the course of rapid extermination.
Their spirit was broken. They became humble and docile in the hands of the missionaries, ceased their railings against the new doctrine, and leaned on the French as their only hope in this extremity of woe.
Sometimes they would appear in troops at SiUery or Three Rivers, scared out of their forests by the sight of an Iroquois foot...print; then some new terror would seize them, and drive them back to seek a hiding- place in the deepest thickets of the wilderness. Their best hunting-grounds were beset by the enemy. They starved for weeks together, subsisting on the bark of trees or the thongs of raw hide which formed the net- work of their snow-shoes. The mortality among them was prodigious. "Where, eight years ago," writes Father Vimont, " one would see a hundred wigwams, one now sees scarcely five or six. A chief who once had eight hundred warriors has now but thirty or forty; and in place of fleets of three or four hundred canoes, we see less than a tenth of that number." ^ These Canadian tribes were undergoing that pro- cess of extermination, absorption, or expatriation which, as there is reason to believe, had for many generations formed the gloomy and meaningless his- tory of the greater part of this continent.
