The Pontiac Manuscript
hursday, July 14, the Frenchman who had been wounded Wednesday morning died this day about the same hour that he had been wounded the
day before and was buried at once, lest his death should be known outside of the fort. But in spite of all precautions, his death was known both to the settlers and the Indians.
Friday, July 15, nothing happened which merits attention. Saturday, July 16, a slave belonging to Mr. Beaubien came into the fort, being sent by his master, to claim and demand [some cattle] which had been scared by the Indians and had run into the fort. This slave was arrested and put in prison, because it was said that he had fired with the Indians upon the English in the bark.
