The Pontiac Manuscript
At four o'clock the Hurons returned, as they had promised the day before, and brought along seven prisoners, five men, amongst whom was the commander of Presque Isle, a woman and a child, whom they gave up to the commander and asked for peace. They were answered, that they must give up all the merchandise which they had taken from the merchants, up to the last needle-point, and after that peace would be granted to them. They retired, promising to fetch all the merchandise which they had in their
village.
