It is now high time that we go back for a little and see how matters were faring with James Morris and Henry at Fort Pitt.
Following the attack on the trading-post belonging to Mr. Morris, came a period of inactivity on the part of the Indians. But this did not last for long, and soon reports came to Fort Pitt of outrages at half a dozen points. Then some Indians came close to the fort with pack-horses, and demanded some provisions, and being refused they went away and fell upon some traders bound for the stronghold and murdered them in cold blood.
