The Pontiac Manuscript
The sentinels, who were above the gate at the north side, seeing them come as fast as they could run, mistrusted that they came for some evil design, fired upon them and mortally wounded both. One received a ball which pierced his head through and through, entering by the right eye and going out on the left above the jaw-bone, and two buck shots which went through his body in two places, which made him fall on the spot. He was picked up by soldiers of the garrison, taken into the fort, exposed to the view of the public while he remained alive after being wounded, and interred in a corner of the bastion. The other Indian, his fellow, received two balls through the body and fell dead at five arpents from the fort. He was picked up by other Indians and interred near the camp.
