years later, on his way to the Huron country with Father Jogues
(_q.v._), they were captured by the Iroquois, and carried off to their
villages, where they were tortured. Couture escaped a worse fate by
being adopted into an Iroquois family. In 1661 accompanied Fathers
Dablon and Drouillette (_q.v._) on an expedition towards Hudson Bay.

Lake Necouba, and retreated down the Saguenay to Tadoussac. =Bib.=:
