town, kept by a French _WOtIlal'l, among
the numerous inmates of which, principally
masters of ships, was a merchant, in resi-
dent of the place, wiili whom I had pre-
viously been acquainted. This niriu hav-
ing occasion to visit a brig, of which he
was the owner, and which was loading in
the harbour, proposed to use to accompa-
iiyhirii. It happened to be a boisterous
day; but the wind being fair; and the

Biitgrridually.recoveiing liisself-possession,
he seemed quietly to resign liiurself to re-

me .- “ Mr. , I am a iiative American

moreover, tlicso protections were easily
counterfeitctl, and therefore little regarded.
Indeed, the fact was notorious, that spur-
ious documents, (au ordinary article of
trafiic among the crimps in the American
sea-ports,) could at airy time be procured
by our seamen for a fcurdiillais. A rea-
sonable apology was llrus offered for the
frequent repetition of an act which had no
sinall share in exciting a hostile feeling a-

otherwise might certiiirily have been deem-
ed indefensiblc. In this instance, howev-
er, there were sonic collateral circumstan-
ces, which, with the consistency and en;
ergy so characteristic of truth displayed in
his unceasing remonstrances against the
injustice of his detention, afforded asirong
presumption favorable to Williams’ claims.
Some months having elapsed, and the lit-

a faint prospect of teniancipation, be de-
termined on desertion. Accordingly, seiz-

ter a few seconds he suddenly relinquished
his iron grasp, and I, like a drowned rat,
crawled once more riilo the boat. For this 1

inannr.-d with 6 or 8 men. pulling up the bar-
bour, which was no sooner perceived by my
adversary, than he jumped overboard and
swam towards her ; and I threw myselfafter

been taken on board. After some delay they
took me on board, but it was only by a threat
to make them responsible for the prisoner’s e-
vasion that they were prevailed on to put us
on board the nearest merchant vessel. Here
he was secured, and from thence we were.
transferred to tlreguard vessel. -
This man, on his return to the ship, under
circtirnstarices that might have shaken the
constancy of the frrmest.dispalyed a fortitude
wliicli astonished all on board. On getting to
sea, being short ofcomplement, it was propo-
sed to liberate him at the hour of mustering
ior quarters. But on his being brought on
deck, he refused to take a share in any part
ofthe duty; nor could the reinonstrances of
the oflicers, the heavy denunciations of ven-
geance, or the menaces of instant,deatb_ from
the captain, make him swerve from his resolu-

pitch of anger by such a pertinacious exam-
ple of disobedience in the face of the whole
ship’s company, at length ordered his pistols

brains out for mutiny, if Ire continued any

the prisoner with the most iiiperturable cool-
