	History of the Great Lakes. Volume I
		Among the Jesuits is a tradition that the Griffin was driven ashore during a gale, and the crew murdered and the vessel plundered.
		And so the little schooner, Frontenac, plowed the waters of Lake Ontario, and the famous Griffin was constructed in the country of the hostile and powerful Iroquois, most of whom were absent at the time on a distant war expedition.
		The work of building this vessel was carried on through the winter of 1678-79 with vigor by the companions of La Salle, he being absent most of the time at Fort Frontenac, attending to his private affairs, which were in some confusion, and by which he was greatly embarrassed.
