The Pontiac Manuscript
At three o'clock the commander had news of the cargo of the bark and of the number of people which she brought. At four o'clock the commissary and the judge made a visit to the citizens for provisions for the fourth time.
[Marginal note: Kinonchamek departed for Michilimakinack. ] Thursday, June 23. The Indians did not come to fire upon the fort this day, because they were occupied by a project to capture the bark which they knew to be at the entrance of the lake. From early morning they passed behind the fort in great numbers to join those who had gone there two days before, and all assembled on Turkey Island, which is a kind of little detroit, because the river is very narrow at this place.
