Day was breaking; but a thick fog hung over the scene, under cover of which the Indians continued the attack.

The house of Jacques Campau, a trader, sheltered a number of Indians who were doing most destructive work.

Rogers and a party of his Rangers attacked the house, and, pounding in the doors, drove out their assailants.

From Campau's house Rogers covered the retreat of Grant's company, but was himself in turn besieged.

By this time the armed bateaux, which had borne the dead and wounded to the fort, had returned, and, opening fire with their swivels on the Indians attacking Rogers, drove them off; the Rangers joined Grant's company, and all retreated for the fort.
