 Crawford was brought out to us, on purpose 

 to be marched in with the other prisoners. 

 I asked the Colonel if he had seen Mr. 

 Girty ? He told me, he had ; and that 

 Girty had promised to do every thing in 

 his power for him : but that the Indians 

 were very much enraged against the pri- 

 soners ; particularly Captain Pipe, one of 

 the chiefs. He likewise told me, that Girty 

 had informed him that his son-in-law (Colo-

 Crawford) were made prisoners by the 

 Shawanese, but had been pardoned. This 

 Captain Pipe had come from the towns about 

 an hour before Colonel Crawford, and had 

 painted all the prisoners' faces black.
