A party of them from L'Arbre Croche presently arrived on the scene and prevented further massacre.

Etherington and Leslie were taken from the hands of the Chippewas and removed to L'Arbre Croche.
From this place Etherington sent a message to Green Bay, ordering the commandant to abandon the fort there.

He then wrote to Gladwyn at Detroit, giving an account of what had happened and asking aid.

This message was carried to Detroit by Father du Jaunay, who made the journey in company with seven Ottawas and eight Chippewas commanded by Kinonchanek, a son of Minavavna.

But, as we know, Gladwyn was himself in need of assistance, and could give none.
