The Pontiac Manuscript
These gentlemen who, since the beginning of this affair had become posted in the ways of the savages, were resolved to await them, doubting if this pretended enterprise would not turn out as the others had. However, since caution is the mother of security, they remained on guard all night with all their troops, so as not to be surprised and passed the night as quietly as if they had slept in their beds. At sundown there were heard from the side of the Huron village three death cries, without any one- knowing their meaning.
