" In the course of these deliberations I 

 understood what was said perfectly. They 

 laid plans against our settlements of Ken- 

 tucky, the Falls, and towards Wheeling. 

 These it will be unnecessary for me to 

 mention in this narrative ; more especially 

 as the Indians finding me to have escaped, 

 and knowing that I would not fail to com- 

 municate these designs will be led to alter 

 their resolutions. 



" There was one council held at which I 

 was not present. The warriors had sent for 

 me as usual ; but the squaw with whom I 

 lived would not suffer me to go, but hid 

 me under a large quantity of skins : it may 

 have been from an unwillingness that I 

 should hear in council the determination 

 with respect to me, that I should be burnt. 

 " About this time twelve men were 

 brought in from Kentucky, three of whom 

 were burnt on this day : the remainder 

 were distributed to other towns ; and all, as 

 the Indians informed me, were burnt. This 

 was after the speech came from Detroit.
