Paully's hair was cut close; he was dipped into the stream to wash the white blood from his veins; and finally he was dressed and painted as became an Ottawa brave.
News of the destruction of Fort Sandusky was brought to Gladwyn by a trader named La Brosse, a resident of Detroit, and a few days later a letter was received from Paully himself.

For nearly two months Paully had to act the part of an Ottawa warrior.

But early in July--Pontiac being in a state of great rage against the British--his squaw placed him in a farmhouse for safe keeping.

In the confusion arising out of the attack on Fort Detroit on the 4th of the month, and the murder of Captain Campbell, he managed to escape, by the aid, it is said, of an Indian maiden.

He was pursued to within musket-shot of the walls of Detroit.
