Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
She ran towards a horse mill in the rear of the house, but the great shots from the gun-boats, which were along the shore in aid of the troops, so frightened her that she returned to the house, crept into the window, and met the British interpreters, Baby and St. Martin, with an officer. They were accusing Mr. Meloche of having fired upon them, but he convinced them beyond a doubt that the shot heard from his house was from an old Indian who sat by his fire, smoking his pipe, when the British marched up. And from this circumstance Mrs. Meloche supposes that the Indians were not aware of the design to attack them that day.
