The Pontiac Manuscript
From him was learned the death of two officers, who had been killed the Friday before, Mr. Robinson, captain of the barks, and Sir Knight
, colonel of the militia. These two officers had gone, by order of
the commander, with six soldiers and a guide, to sound the channels and see if there was enough water to get a bark through, if it should become necessary. These gentlemen, who, when they left the fort, had learned nothing of the evil intentions of the Indians, traveled quietly, and believed themselves perfectly secure.
