The Pontiac Manuscript
Saturday, June 18. A settler from the eastern shore came across the river at 2 o'clock a. m., to bring certain news of the bark to the commander, which caused the commander to order that the cannon placed against the southwest gate should fire two signal shots at different times, which was done about five o'clock in the morning.
The same day at noon, Father Dujonois, Jesuit missionary of the Ottawas of Michilimakinack, arrived, with seven Indians of this nation and eight Sauteux of the same place, commanded by Kinonchamek, son of the great ehief of this nation. By them was known the defeat of the English in this post, by the Sauteux, on the second of this month.
