The Pontiac Manuscript
[twenty] four men of his company, to surround' this house and capture the two Indians. When they came to the house they found only the housekeeper, and searched everywhere, believing that the two Indians had hid. However, they only found two bearing sows, which they brought to the fort instead of the Indians. This capture was in some respects worth more than the one they had hoped to make. The same day, about 10 o'clock A. M., some soldiers had tied up the horses of two officers about an arpent away from the fort, when two Indians, who had observed them from afar, came with warlike steps through the grass, which was very high, cut the cord s and carried off the horses.
