Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
Mr. Pilette, having satisfied himself of the truth of this statement, went, on the following morning, to the fort, where he found the baggage prepared and deposited near the water gate of the fort. He waited upon Major Gladwin, who told him that on the succeeding night he intended to embark, and leave the fort to the besiegers.
He related the conversation which he had had with Pontiac, and suggested to the Major that the crops had been tolerable, and that he could purchase provisions of the inhabitants for the subsistence of the troops until spring. Major Gladwin was much pleased at the intelligence. He ordered the baggage to be unpacked, and soon had the pleasure to learn that the Indians were departing.
