The Pontiac Manuscript
By means of a spy-glass they saw that it was indeed the long expected convoy, which caused great rejoicing, for they hoped that the reinforcements coming would change the sentiments of the Indians. But their joy was short and died in its birth, for it was interrupted by a number of death cries, which were heard from the same spot where the vessels were to be seen, and it changed into sorrow for the fate of the convoy, for there was no doubt but that the Indians had discovered them and captured them, after killing the people, which indeed
was so.
