Léry wrote: "I could not restrain the ardor of the soldiers and the "Canadiens". They killed everyone they encountered. Some soldiers barricaded themselves in the barracks, which were broken open...Only a few soldiers and one woman Bowman were fortune enough to hide themselves from the first fury of our soldiers and "Canadiens"...all the rest were slaughtered without daring to make the least resistance." Nearly all of the small garrison was killed and scalped, according to a report by Sir William Johnson, who inspected the carnage when he eventually arrived at the head of a relief column. Of the 62 people in Fort Bull, only 3 soldiers, one carpenter and Ann Bowman survived. Bowman refused to give her profession or explain what she was doing at Fort Bull when she was captured by the French, and it seems likely that she was a prostitute. Léry's men set fire to the works, which included 45,000 pounds of gunpowder. The resulting conflagration destroyed the wooden fort. Léry reported that he had destroyed all of the cannon balls, grenades, and shells plus clothing for 600 men, and 1, 000 blankets while taking barrels full of biscuits, salt pork, butter, chocolate and alcohol back to New France. The French also destroyed 16 bateaux and several wagons and killed about 100 horses at Fort Bull. The French had lost one killed plus two wounded while the Iroquois had lost 2 dead and 2 wounded. The powder magazine exploded with unexpected force and one Iroquois was killed by the flying debris. One officer of the "troupes de la Marine" wrote that he found it "astonishing that the English garrison with all its grenades and all its musket fire killed so few people". Another French officer, de Charley, in a report wrote: We marched to Fort Bull, where the enemy had about 100 men. The Indians refused to march to it. The French soldiers cut down the palisade, broke down the gate with ax bows, in spite of the shooting and the grenades hurled them. The usual lack of precautions by the "Canadiens" caused a fire at the powder magazine and burned all the supplies; the garrison was cut down except for three or four prisoners. We had three killed and seven wounded.
