Not a white man did they find here when they arrived. Their stock of pro- visions was well nigh exhausted and they were suffering from hunger, so much so that in his diary of June 12th, Zeisberger says : " Hunger begins to fall sharply upon us." Had they not been restrained by conscientious scruples they might have sup- plied their needs, for on the bank of the river not far from its mouth there stood a building stored with flour intended for De- troit, and which seems not to have been very sec...urely fastened, for the thievish Chippewa Indians who lived on and near Huron river "took away secretly many horse loads of flour from that stored in the house." This warehouse was the property of a Pittsburg firm, known as Duncan & Wilson, with whom the Moravians afterward carried on considerable trade. The loca- tion of this storehouse on the bank of the Cuyahoga, filled with flour intended for Detroit, is another evidence that the Detroit boats of that early day, like those of the present, entered our river and were loaded from a building standing upon its bank.
