"Carlisle, Feb. 23. We are informed from good authority, that a party of 70 Indians lately presented themselves before Dunlap's station, (a small stockade, not far from general Harmar's head-quarters) garrisoned by about 30 regulars and about twenty inhabitants of the vicinity, under the command of lieutenant Kingsborough. The Indians had previously taken a Mr. Hunt prisoner, with two or three others, whom they hoisted on their shoulders before the fort, directing them to inform the commanding officer, that their party consisted of three hundred. They then demanded a surrender of the garrison. The lieutenant answered, that if they were three hundred devils, he would not surrender; and immediately fired on the Indians, twelve of whom were killed. The remainder, after having quartered Mr. Hunt, in the view of the fort, made a rapid retreat: none of the garrison were either killed or wounded."
