The Pontiac Manuscript
The commander, having learned from the curate why the bell was no longer tolled, permitted to have it tolled for all church purposes, and it commenced its function at noon by tolling the Angelus.
At three o'clock, the chiefs of the good band of the Hurons, who, since Father Poitier had refused them the sacraments, in order to stop them, had not taken part in the hostilities, came in to speak. They were admitted into the fort by a secret door, and treated for peace with the commander, making many excuses in regard to what they had done.
