The Pontiac Manuscript
Saturday, June 4, the Indians remained on this day the same as the day before. About four o'clock p. m. there were heard at the fort death cries on the part of Indians who came back from the lake on the other shore of the river. There were no means of knowing exactly the meaning of these cries, but it was mistrusted that they had made some capture on the lake.
Sunday, June 5, the Indians fired a few shots upon the fort, simply to show that they had not all gone to the lake, and that they would not desist from their foolish enterprise. The shots which they fired amounted to so little, however, that they did not merit the attention of the English officers.
