The shrieking balls and the wild war-whoops of the assailants greatly alarmed the women and children; but never for a moment was the fort in real danger or did Ecuyer or his men fear disaster.
So carefully had the commandant seen to his defences, that, although hundreds of missiles fell within the confines of the fort, only one man was killed and only seven were wounded.

Ecuyer himself was among the wounded: one of two arrows that fell within the fort had, to use his own words, 'the insolence to make free' with his 'left leg.' From July 27 to August 1 this horde of Delawares, Shawnees, Wyandots, and Mingoes kept up the attack.

Then, without apparent cause, as suddenly as they had arrived, they all disappeared.

To the garrison the relief from constant vigil, anxious days, and sleepless nights was most welcome.
The reason for this sudden relief was that the red men had learned of a rich prize for them, now approaching Fort Pitt.

Bouquet, with a party of soldiers, was among the defiles of the Alleghanies.
