One day months after their journey to Fort Frontenac Lya received a letter from Tonty.
Dear Mademoiselle: I know you would hear what has chanced since you left us that black day, taking the sun from our sky. I have never forgotten you one moment--never can. You are always here. La Salle and I started for Niagara to the fort built by Hennepin and De Lussière. On Christmas Eve we were near wrecked in the Bay of Quinté by a treacherous pilot. La Salle would do naught with this pilot, for he risked his own life with that of La Salle, and so a Jesuit would without hesitation--eternal reward would be his. I see La Salle with the man before him. "Not again, not again, monsieur!" he said and dismissed him. In such wise had La Salle conquered the would-be murderer, Jolycoeur, and it will ever be so with him. He is too gigantic to be moved.
