Excerpt from Second Edition of a Report on the Geology and Natural Resources of the Area Included by the Nipissing and Timiskaming Map-Sheets: Comprising Positions of the District of Nipissing, Ontario and of the County of Pontiac, Quebec Early in 1615. However. Champlain returned to Canada. Bringing with him four Recollets. One of whom. Father Joseph Le Caron, was destined for missionary work among the Huron Indians. Arriving at Montreal he found a large concourse of Indians already assem bled, who had come hither from their homes in the vicinity of Lake Simcoe. These savages, always more eager for temporal than spiri tual help, again pressed Champlain to aid them against their heredi tary foe, the formidable Iroquois. Deeming it expedient at the time to comply with this oft-repeated request, Champlain hurriedly descended to Quebec to make the necessary preparations, leaving Le Caron and some of his compatriots with the assembled Indians to await his return. During Champlain's absence. However, the Indians decided to go back forthwith to their own home without him, and accompanied by Le Caron and his associates commenced the ascent of the Ottawa river. When Champlain returned to Montreal and found the place deserted he immediately hurried after them, pursu ing the usual course up the Ottawa and Mattawa rivers, over the height-of-laud to Lake Nipissing and thence down the French river to Lake Huron. Champlain was thus the first European, with the exception of the humble friar who had only just preceded him by a few days, to gaze on the waters of Lake Huron. Which he christened Mer Douce.'
