The Pontiac Manuscript
About eight o'clock in the evening, Pontiac sent runners to the bad band of the Hurons and to the Foxes, to give them knowledge of what had happened in his camp and the capture which he had made by retaining the two officers, and sent them word that at daybreak the next morning he would, with four of his chiefs, go to the shore, below the fort, to give new orders and to get new ammunition. He instructed Ninivois, chief of the Foxes, to put about twenty of his men in ambush near the fort, so that no Englishman could come out without being pierced.
