[S1570] Father Gerard Lebel translated by Thomas J LaForest, Our French Canadian Ancestor, Volume VI: Chapter 10, pages 115-124 - Finally, on the night of August 1658, during the troubled times, the Iroquois were successful in seizing Jean Hayot, the son of Thomas, "who by shrewdness saved himself from their hands." (10) this event is also reported in the Relations des Jesuites and dated a week earlier: "On the 14th of the same month, twenty Mohawks were across from the fort at Trois-Rivieres, on the far side of the big river, knowing full well that Monsieur the Governor had arrived there. During the evening they went down river and prowled around our houses with the intention of capturing a few Hurons or Algonquins. Instead, they threw themselves on two Frenchmen at Cap-Rouge; one was the son of a habitant named Haiot, the other was the sevant of Monsieur Bourdon. The Indians robbed them and stripped off their clothes without doing them any other harm because the Frenchmen talked themselves out of trouble."
