Another ftroncrcorroha ting fact th.it there'
were Britiili,or Critiih Nul'uiainthe aifault
is, that a number of ounce balls and buck-
ihotwere lodged iutlwb'ockltoufes and tkoc
kails 6f the fort. Some, were delivered x.
fo great a dill mce as not to penetrate and
were nicked uy a: the foot of the fto;kade$.
It would alio appear that the Rritiili and

and hid by the Indians in cue ecu 01 tne 01a
fllcu timber, orlogs, which they turned
yer and laid the cannon in, and then turned
the tors backlnto their foruier . Wrth. It
was tn this artfu,l manner w e generally 'ound
thrm detxfitcd. The hoililc Indians turned

manner after the aCtion of the 4th of No-

I therefore have reafon to believe that the
Brititli and Indians depended much upon
this artillery to a (lilt in the reduction of that
.tmd.' Fortunately they fcrved In in defence.
