I should not have known that Cuthbert Grant was there, though I knew him well, had he not spoken to me." "Grant told me that Governor Semple was not mortally wounded by the shot he received, but that his thigh was broken.

He said that he spoke to the Governor after he was wounded, and had been asked by him to have him taken to the Fort, and as he was not mortally wounded he thought he might perhaps live.

Grant said he could not take him himself as he had something else to do, but that he would send some person to convey him on whom he might depend, and that he left him in charge of a French-Canadian and went away; but that almost directly after he had left him, an Indian, who, he said, was the only rascal they had, came up and shot him in the breast, and killed him on the spot.
"The Bois-brules, who very seldom paint or disguise themselves, were on this occasion painted as I have been accustomed to see the Indians at their war-dance; they were very much painted, and disguised in a hideous manner.

They gave the war-whoop when they met Governor Semple and his party; they made a hideous noise and shouting.

I know from Grant, as well as from other Bois-brules, and other settlers, that some of the Colonists had been taken prisoners.
