The savage Chippewas from the far-off north devoured one of the slain soldiers, probably in a spirit of ferocious bravado; the other tribes expressed horror at the deed.

[Footnote: Brickell's Narrative.] The Indians were rich with the spoil.

They got horses, tents, guns, axes, powder, clothing, and blankets--in short everything their hearts prized.

Their loss was comparatively slight; it may not have been one twentieth that of the whites.

They did not at the moment follow up their victory, each band going off with its own share of the booty.
