The Pontiac Manuscript
Besides, these gentlemen had two barks, of different sizes, which were at anchor before the fort, and were to defend the river side. They were few, if unfortunately the Indians should prove
good soldiers.
Pontiac, who had in his bosom the murderous knife which was to cut short the days of these gentlemen, proceeded in accordance with what he had told the Hurons and Foxes the evening before. He came to the fort with fifty men of his nation, and all the rest were to take the same measures as on the Saturday before. He appeared at the gate about 11 o'clock and wanted to enter with his people, which was refused to him by the commander's, order.
