The Pontiac Manuscript
This caused the commander to change his mind and keep his prisoner, letting the Foxes know that they must fetch all the rest and they would be granted what they asked for. The Foxes were not much satisfied with this and formed the plan, at the risk of perishing, to attack the commander and the officers who accompanied him. The attack was prevented by the fact that Mr. McDougal recognized an Ottawa Indian who had entered the fort with them as such. He was arrested and put in prison, well guarded, which made the Foxes afraid, and they, discontented not to have the demand complied with, went out and re. solved to take their revenge the coming night.
