Pawnees, officers, and regular soldiers were all mixed together, while the Sioux went flying away in every direction.
The general had instructed the soldiers to keep a sharp look-out for white women when they entered the village.

Both were Swedes, and the survivor could not speak English.
A Swedish soldier was soon found to act as interpreter.

The woman's name was Weichel.
