The Seige of Detriot
Mrs. Meloche does not know who succeeded Major Campbell in command. Some say Major Glad win, and of him it is reported that he was killed in the
battle of Bloody Bridge.
During the siege, and before the battle, a number of barges, loaded with goods for the Indian trade, were taken by the Indians, below the fort, ' supposed to have been at Point au Pelee, on Lake Brie. The Indians killed most of the men, leaving enough to manage the barges. When they arrived opposite the fort, under full sail, the Indians were very numerous, and only two of the barges succeeded in landing unmolested.
