Unaware of the ongoing siege, Cuyler and his men made camp without taking extra security precautions. BattleThe following morning, about 200 Natives attacked, killing or capturing 61 of the 96 men of Cuyler's expedition.[3] AftermathThose who escaped made their way to Fort Sandusky, but found it destroyed, and so they returned to Fort Niagara. The Indians took their captives to Detroit, where they were tortured and mutilated. The bodies were then tossed into the river to float by Fort Detroit, which undermined morale in the fort.
