Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
But finding this wholly ineffectual, Pontiac went to Jacques Godfroy (the father of old Colonel Godfroy) and Minnie Chene, two interpreters, who had left the fort at the commencement of the siege, by permission of the commander, and ordered them to go to the fort and desire Major Gladwin to send out two of his officers to his encampment to hold a council. The interpreters waited upon the commander, who refused, and they returned to the chief. "Go again, " said Pontiac, "and as you know me to be true, tell the commandant that no injury shall be done to the officers. Nay, if necessary, you may pledge, in my behalf, body for body, for their safe return. "
