The Pontiac Manuscript
The boats and the barge came back to the fort about noon, without having been able to discover the hiding-place or the work of the Indians, who followed them along the shore until they reached the house of Mr. Chauvin, thirty
arpents from the fort. The bark sent them a cannon ball, which made them fly, without wounding any but the ball struck the house, caused great damage, and wounded two Indians who were in it, one in the arm and one in the thigh, the latter of whom died a few days later.
