Conspiracy of Pontiac
The Seige of Detriot
They were opposed by the Indians who were in the boats, but fortunately the number of savages in them was smaller than in any of the others, and the boats succeeded in reaching the vessel. The others were taken to Pontiac's village, and, together with their commanding officer, Captain Corell, were killed. These boats contained a quantity of provisions and ammunition, which formed a fine prize for the chief.
When the siege commenced there were but sixty men in the fort. After the arrival of the barges the vessels went below and brought up a reinforcement. Their uniform was green, and the Canadians called them the green regiment. The commanding officer's name was something like Oganse. A general also accompanied it.
