Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
During this siege this vessel sailed up the river with every fair wind, and whenever Indians were seen in the fields the guns of the ship were leveled on them and discharged. And the house occupied by Mr. Moran, which is a part of the large house of Mr. Meloche, was pierced with at least fifteen cannon balls, fired at different times from the vessel at an encampment of Indians in the rear of the house.
Soon after the battle, the Indians began to manifest a desire for peace, and after they had become quite tranquil, in the month of October, as Mrs. Meloche thinks, peace was agreed between the Indians, headed by Pontiac, and the British commandant, whose name Mrs. Meloche has forgotten.
