Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
The British, before retreating, took all their dead and wounded and put them on board the gun-boats and the barges and canoes which they found along the shore, and immediately after the battle nothing was to be seen but blood and small pieces of the bodies or limbs of the dead. Mrs. Meloche never heard that the garrison was short of provisions or ammunition, but she recollects perfectly well that when a vessel of war was coming up the river, containing supplies, the Indians went down in canoes, intending to bore a hole in the bottom and sink her; they could not effect this, and the vessel
got up.
