The Pontiac Manuscript
He would speak to the commanders, and try to dissuade them from what had been told them, and he would do so well with these gentlemen to prove their mistake that, after hearing him, the English gentlemen would fall into his snare, and he would overcome them without their knowing it. But, fortunately, the commanders and all the officers, who had escaped the danger which had threatened them and was not over yet, unless they were very careful, were not the men to be taken in by the flattering talk of a traitor, so that all that the malignity of Pontiac could dictate to them was in vain. Sure of success, he came to the fort, just as he had told his people, Sunday, May 8, towards one o'clock p. m., accompanied by Mackatepelicite, Breton and Ohavoinon, all chiefs of the same Ottawa nation.
