The Rangers made a hut for us, and for three days Fritz doctored our uncle, till he was almost well again.

But they would not leave us in the forest, with the bands of treacherous Indians prowling around.

They escorted us to within a short distance of Montreal itself, and Fritz consented to come into the city as our guest; and since he speaks French almost as well as English, he was a welcome guest to all.

He became so much attached to my uncle that he consented to come with us to Quebec.

For he is anxious to join the English squadron when it reaches these waters, and my uncle gave him his word of honour that no hindrance shall be placed in the way of his doing so.
