The Pontiac Manuscript
Nevertheless, the Hurons remained watching in their ambush for two days, at the end of which time they came back to their village the way they had left it.
Sunday, July 31, at two o'clock in the morning, according to the orders of the aide-de-camp, all those who had been designated for the detachment were ready in light uniform, having only their jackets, cartridge boxes, and arms. They left the fort and took up their march towards Pondiak's camp, which at that time was a league from the fort, on the north side, at a place which is called Cardinal Point. The English officers had unfortunately confided their plans to some Frenchmen living in the fort, who on their part had confidentially repeated them to some Frenchmen outside.
