The outcome was almost miraculous. The night that he was to die, Brebeuf invited all to a farewell banquet. It was a custom of the Indians to feast their condemned victims. He spoke to them, not of himself, but of life after death. They left the cabin downcast and dis- mayed. The missionaries were left in peace; Brebeuf was adopted by the tribe and made a captain. In 1638 a new mission called St. Joseph II had been established at Teanaustaye, with Brebeuf in charge. Jogues was employed at this mission during the above crisis. From that time on, the missionaries ' progress was heartening ; and the number of converts grew steadily. It was decided that a permanent central mis- sion should be established. This had become necessary, because the Indians were envious, if the priests identified themselves with any particular village. The new headquarters was accordingly established about eight miles from Ossossane and twelve miles from Ste. Joseph 1 1 . It was named Ste. Marie; and was the central bureau for about fifteen priests and laymen. With the decided change for the better, it was possible to extend the field of activity. In 1640 Jogues and Garnier started on a spe- cial mission to the Petun, or Tobacco ' ' Indians. It was winter; the priests had to travel on snowshoes and they were deserted by their guides. When they arrived, they found that their reputation for sorcery had preceded them; and they were ignored. None of the villages would receive them. The expedition was a failure; and the two priests returned to Ste. Marie. Rebuffs such as this served only to double the enthusiasm of the missionaries. Jogues traveled two hundred and fifty miles to visit the Ojibways. He was greeted by two thousand of them, who begged him to stay with them. All he could do was to make know n the Faith and to prepare the ground for his successors. It was on this journey that he and his companion Raymbault discovered Lake Superior. Brebeuf made an expedition to the Neuters on the shores of Lake Erie. He met with the same ill success as had Jogues and Garnier among the Petuns. He was often threatened with death. While in this hostile country, Brebeuf had a vision of what was to happen to the Huron mission. It came to him in the form of a giant cross, rising from the heart of the Iroquois country, and its arms over- shadowing Huronia. The cross was large enough to bear all the missionaries in Huronia. Huronia was in sore straits. Harvests had been poor; and the plague was rampant again. Once more the Hurons began to agitate against the Black-robes, and to attribute their dire condition to sorcery. They clung more fiercely to their superstitions and indulged in the worst forms of vice. All too soon the fullfillment of Brebeuf ' s vision was to begin. Lack of supplies made a
