The Pontiac Manuscript
At seven o'clock in the evening the fort fired two guns, to which signal she made no response, which gave rise to the fear that the Indians had captured her by a second attempt, which was uttered quite loudly in the fort by the judge, but did not prevent the officers from putting up an instrument in the bastion which faced southeast, where she was moored.
Wednesday, June 29, St. Peter's day. The Indians did not shoot on the fort. One party rested and the other made a descent upon the settlers to
pay themselves for the useless trouble. In the afternoon there were heard from behind the fort some twenty death cries.
