of Voyages and Travels compiled from the Library of the Earl of Oxford,
by Thomas Osborne_, London, 1745, Vol. II. pp. 796-798; also in

Morel, of Honfleur.

16. This was under the direction of De Monts himself; and Captain Timothee,
of Havre de Grace, was pilot, or the second officer.

17. Lescarbot writes this name Campseau; Champlain's orthography is
Canceau; the English often write Canso, but more correctly Canseau. It
has been derived from _Cansoke_, an Indian word, meaning _facing the
frowning cliffs_.

the fisherman of Brittany, who frequented that region as early as 1504

Thevet sailed along the coast in 1556, and is quoted by Laverdiere, as
follows: "In this land there is a province called Compestre de Berge,
extending towards the south-east: in the eastern part of the same is
the cape or promontory of Lorraine, called so by us; others have given
it the came of the Cape of the Bretons, since the Bretons, the
Bisayans, and Normans repair thither, and coast along on their way to
Newfoundland to fish for codfish."
