Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
The opposite shore was lined with Indians who returned the fire upon the boat and killed some of the men. As the rear barge, which contained three rowers and an Indian, came opposite the vessels, the steersman proposed to one of the rowers to attempt to throw the Indian overboard, and make for the vessel. But this man thought. himself too weak to accomplish it and the steersman told him that they would exchange places, as was common with them, and in passing the Indian he would put him overboard.
