The Pontiac Manuscript
so that in case the bark which had started for Niagara should not return, and they should be forced for want of provisions to brave the fort, these vessels, with the large bark, would serve them to retire to Niagara. The Indians did not shoot that day.
This same day, Mr. Lasel, jr., had arrived from Montreal with two canoes full of merchandise and liquor, which he unloaded at the house of the widow Gervaise to hide them from the Indians; but he was given away, and the Foxes came round demanding some and threatening to plunder if he would not give them any, and to get rid of them he let them have two barrels of wine.
