The Pontiac Manuscript
Here it is: As soon as the canoes had arrived on the shore opposite the camp, these barbarians made their prisoners disembark one after the other on the border of the strand and undress quite naked, whereupon other
savages lacerated them from afar with arrows which they shot into every part of their bodies. Sometimes these poor unhappy men wanted to turn away or throw themselves on the ground to escape some arrows, but the Indians who were at their sides made them get up by beating them with sticks and fists. To satisfy their tigers' thirst for human blood, the poor fellows had to stand upright until they fell dead, whereupon those who had not shot, fell upon the dead bodies, hacked them to pieces, had them cooked, and glutted themselves with them.
