Cartier_. =Cartier, Jacques= (1491-1557). In 1534, sailing out of St. Malo, made his first voyage to the New World, entering the Gulf of St. Lawrence by way of the Straits of Belle Isle, landing on the Gaspe shore, and coasting around the eastern end of Anticosti. Returned to France. The following year again sailed to the gulf, and entered the river St. Lawrence. Continuing his voyage, passed the mouth of the Saguenay, and landed on the Island of Orleans, which he named Ile Bacchus. Brought his little ships into the St. Charles River, upon whose banks stood the Indian village of Stadacone. After exploring the St. Lawrence as far as the Indian town of Hochelaga (Montreal), returned to Stadacone, where he wintered. In the spring of 1536 sailed back to France, taking with him the Iroquois chief, Donnacona. In 1541, made a third voyage to Canada. Roberval was to have followed with a number of colonists, but did not actually sail until the spring of 1542. When he reached Newfoundland, he met Cartier on his way home. Roberval's colony proved disastrous, and Cartier undertook a fourth voyage to the New World to rescue the survivors. =Index=: =Ch= Names Hare Island, 13; ravages of scurvy among his men, 23; finds a remedy in the plant _aneda_, 29; Membertou pretends to have met him in 1534, 36; his winter quarters identified by Champlain, 44-45; his Riviere de Fouez identified as the St. Maurice, 52. =F= His voyages, 1; attempt at colonization, 2. =L= With his men, receives communion from bishop of St. Malo, 7. =C= Sir Georges E.
