J interrupted the negroes in working their provision ground See. Up- Cn enquiry, I found his residence in the woods had not been a fecrer, but some late outrages which he had committed, prompted the fuffers to complain. It appeared that he hadoccafionally molested the women, but alwavs ran from the men. Upon this infor mation I Cent out a party, with a guide who knew his haunt*. The party divided wi h S view of surrounding his hut ; and, in the deepest receffts cf the woods, they saw him fitting on the point of a rock.
