Chapter VII
"Viens, viens, tu trouveras La bas, la bas, Le royaume cher et merveilleux Du bon Dieu." What wonder that his simple woodsman's heart was moved to quick response! That ere one moon had waxed and waned his dugout was prepared for its long journey inland, west by south, along the waterway of two great Lands! He showed it now in Tadoussac with pride: this fruit of two Canadian winters' toil. Its ample hull was shiny black with age.
