The Voyager: A Tale of Old Canada (1911)
Sir Harold Drayton and his sister, the Honorable Jessica, were on a visit to Canada in the days of Lord Simcoe's rule over the fortunes of the great Hudson Bay Company, in the early part of the nineteenth century, and there she met a voyageur, romantic and wonderful in her young eyes, and became so much interested in him that her brother begged the interference of the factor, Nigel Hardie, who was in command of the post at Selkirk House, where they were stopping, and Francois, the voyageur was sent away. Sadly he took his departure, wearing in his heart a flower given him by the girl, and in his stout canoe, paddled through the vast primeval forest. Soon after, a letter came to Hardie bidding him speed his guests back to Quebec to sail in the last ship for England, and they started off accompanied only by two canoe men as the trapping season was on and Hardie was short-handed. Landing one evening for camp, they were captured by a band of Indians, and one of the men was killed, the other escaping back to Selkirk House where he warned Hardie; but in the meantime, Francois saw the empty canoe and body of his old companion, and suspecting the fate of the party, he crept up to where they sat tied to trees while their captors caroused, and cutting their bonds, bade them wait for night and sleep to affect their escape. His plans were overthrown by the chief waking find going to take a look at his captives. A melee ensued, in which aided by Sir Harold and even the brave little Jessica, Francois was able to account for all his stupefied foes, and makes good his rescue. The party from the Stockade met them in their flight and Jessica bravely told her brother and the factor that her life belonged to the man who had risked all to save her, and that now she was his beyond recall.
