The Pontiac Manuscript
They demanded their man, but the commander said that when they should have given up all the prisoners whom they had in their village, they could have what they wanted. At three o'clock in the afternoon, the bark which had come from Niagara started to return there with orders to bring provisions and men. About the same time the Foxes came back, as they had promised in the morning, and brought with them seven prisoners whom they gave up to the commander and asked the release of their brother. When he was about to be delivered to them a man by the name of Jacqueman, who had been given to the Foxes for a present and who had just been given up by them, said in English to the commander that the Foxes had still more prisoners in their village.
