Reft, reft to the fpirits of warriors departed, The.(port of ambition, the victimssof fame, And peace to the friends they have left bro¬ ken hearted, Deploring the fate '.hat ennobles their name, Tor though the fond heart may exult in their glory, The tear of affection rr.uPc Bow for their fail, And the brave who furvive to recount their fad llory, v hall envy the honours that cover their pal!.

I was on my way in a battcauxj accom«i- panted by ^ine men, to Grofs I-le. Wheil arrived within a mile of myho.ife, on GrofA Iile. I heard the report of a r.:!.-, which pro-- ceeded from the(hore I immedutely or-^-. dered the men to put to fhore ^'\%.\\ the boat.. The fhore where the balteautf landed wa> ' high <u\ a bluff—I amended it nhaccom^- pauied by any of the nie.t : when arrived act the fummit of the bank, 1 r,ii^:<;vered an It; dian tent pitched and a bark cabin. I en¬ tered the cabin, wh^re i found one Indian, r.; fquaw, and two or three young ciit'dren. IL obferved the f»juaw was working at fometh'ii^ ; which Hie endeavored to conceal ; upon a i nearer examination of the matter. I found! that the objt& of herlah »ur waj a numbei!r of cattle's feet.—I alked the Indian wheree he procured fo many of tlivm ; he informr*d 1 me he had got \\icm at the «p?gi$amt point- - i\ir to my houfe. 1 told him J h.id not kjU - led any cattle thi': fumnicr, and cnnfccjoeutly * hemnll have luken that liberty himl -If. 1 ' ih' ii lift, him, and returned to the baUcaux, where I defi'red two or three cf th? men > > come with me a .id fee what thefe fellows had been comtnittinj?. Th.e men foilowid me Up ihe Kill and entered the cabin, where, i\i addition to tfecows or cattle's feet, they found ttvo or three tails,- which appeared to be taken fromanimaid that had been but late¬ ly killed. I then informed tlte fudian that if I caticht <t bis tribe upon the Ifland after * to-morrow, that I would come v\kh the men { had vitb me then, and nnuTacre every one of them. I was 'hen proceeding to the bat- teauxj with the intention o[ j^oing o!7, when 1 perceived four or live Indians iiTuir^ from the woods, v-ith their rifles upon then fhoul* der«, They came no to tlte p\-)cc were I was flanditijr, srnd p-Atwd by me to the canoe, which lay about twenty yards front th.e bat- teaux. When they had arrived -at thrir ca> noeand were entering it, I fftill Handing on the top of tlte hill with the three men"] called to them and bade them be ofr and never more to make chefr appearance on the iflartd. Whilft I was fpeaking to them, the Indian whom I found W the cabin came forward and addrefTcd them in the Indian language ; up¬ on which they fst up the moft hideous yell I ever liilened to in my life. The canoe in which they wcr^ dunnjr t:.e time I w"a«s freaking to them, had !>een fhov- pd or p;.dlcd from the fnore about ten or f.ve!«e feeti when one of the Indiana irized ins ride, (which he. had placed in the bottom of the canoe) and ^veiled at me, with wh-»t intention, 1 could not oivine a: the time. The men in the boat, cried out> " Mr Mo-. comb^ he'isgoing to /hoot you ;'* upon which one of the three men who was near me, im¬ mediately fired upon him and killed him. He fell in the bottom of the canoe and was taken over to the Englifh fide. It was with the greateft difficulty I could pi event the men in the boat from firing upon tlierfi -after the fiift one had fired I then ordered the men to return with me to the beat, and we pro¬ ceeded on our way to my houfe. This, fir, is a true Statement of fadls ; and, permit me to add, that I have often been annoyed by thefe infolent fellows, who have heretofore been inltrumental m killing my cattle on the ifland.
