The Pontiac Manuscript
Returned to the village, Pontiac found himself struggling with different emotions, —anger, fury, and rage. He looked like a lioness from whom her young had been taken. He called together all the young people, anxious to find out if they knew who had given them away. "For, " said he to them, "I see well the English have been advised. " He ordered them to look around and try to discover the traitor of his nation, who must be killed, but
all their researches were in vain, for he who had given them away had too well taken his precautions to be found out.
About four o'clock in the afternoon, a false rumor came to the village that a Sauteux woman had given them away, and that she was present [?] in the village of the Foxes.
