• Mettant ce délai à profit, il étendit ses courses au midi du lac Ontario, et visita la nation neutre, tribu populeuse qui, malgré sa position intermédiaire entre les parties belligérentes, conservait des relations amicales avec tous ses voisins.Taking advantage of that time, he extended his races to the south of Lake Ontario, and visited the neutral nation, a populous tribe that, despite its intermediate position between the belligerent parties, maintained friendly relations with all its neighbours.C1Histoire du Canada, tome I
