WHAT THE SHIP HENRI IV BRINGS TO QUEBEC The ship Henri IV dropped anchor before Quebec on the seventh day of August.

This being the Company's vessel, hundreds of Canadians flocked to the wharves.

And again flags decked the chateau and town, and cannon roared.

The Henri IV was part merchantman and part man-of-war.
Her ports bristled with cannon, her marines wore formidable cutlasses, and the law on board was military in the strictest sense.

Stores and ammunition filled her hull; carpenters' tools, tea-chests, bags of plaster, uniforms, cannon, small arms, beads and trinkets of no value save to the Indian, silk and wool and a beautiful window for the cathedral.
