The Pontiac Manuscript
The bark sent them a broadside of grape-shot and balls, which wounded several and made them all go into their huts. One party took up their guns and followed the bark, shooting upon her until she came in front of the fort, where she anchored safely at four o'clock in the afternoon. She had aboard thirty-five men, with an officer, who had saved themselves towards Sandusky, as I stated above. This officer landed to bring letters to the commander, in which mention was made that peace had been concluded; that Canada remained English, and his British majesty would pay all the expenses which had been made in Canada since the beginning of the war.
