These were claimed by Black Partridge, and carried to his village on the Au Sable.

He had been particularly attached to a little girl of Mrs.Lee's, about twelve years of age.

This child had been placed on horseback for the march; and, as she was unaccustomed to the exercise, she was tied fast to the saddle, lest by any accident she should slip off or be thrown.
She was within reach of the balls at the commencement of the engagement, and was severely wounded.

The horse set off on a full gallop, which partly threw her, but she was held fast by the bands which confined her, and hung dangling as the animal ran violently about.

In this state she was met by Black Partridge, who caught the horse and disengaged her from the saddle.
