Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
The rest were taken above the town, and the lading was taken by the Indians. During the whole siege the French people were permitted, by Pontiac, to go to church in the garrison every Sunday. They had no other intercourse, except, in a secret manner. A circumstance is related to show Pontiac's generosity. When he had possessed himself of the goods from the barges, and stowed them away,
a Miss Deriviere ascertained that a trunk, containing goods and clothes for her, was among them. She persuaded Mr. LaButte, the interpreter, to accompany her to the Indian camp, where she told Pontiac of the circumstance of her expecting a trunk, and Pontiac immediately caused the goods to be searched, and, having found the trunk corresponding to her description, he gave it to her without making any objection.
