The Pontiac Manuscript
The commander wanted to see him, called him before him, and without examining him much, upon the word of the young lady, accepted him for the message he was about to send. He was equipped with all that could be necessary to him on the way, and his days' journeys were laid ¦out for six days, which were to be paid for at his return. In the evening he received letters for Niagara, and during the night he went out and was ferried across the river by soldiers, but instead of taking up his road to Niagara as soon as he left the boat, as he had led the English officers to hope, the rascal remained on the eastern shore all day to divulge all that had happened in the fort.
