The Pontiac Manuscript
Upon this report, Pontiac ordered four Indians to go after her and bring her before him. These, of course, pleased with this order, were not slow to execute what their chief had told them. They crossed the river at the village, and passed by the fort almost naked, having nothing with them except their breeches, and knives in their hands, crying along the way that their attempt had failed, which made the French on this side, who did not know of their design, think that they had some evil intention, either upon them or upon the English. They arrived at the village of the Foxes and really found the woman, who had no thought of them. Nevertheless, they took her and made her march before them, uttering cries of joy for having a victim upon whom to satisfy their cruelty.
