FoUo for the laft month .J
v I'text morning I rode six miles
to a man s of the name of Grinder,
w j iere our poor triend Lewis perish
ed. In the same room where he ex-
ptred,. I took down from Mrs. Grin
der the particulars ol that melancho
ly event, which affected me extreme-;
v* This house or cabin is-seventy*
two miles from Nashville, and iathe
last white man’s as'you enter the
Indian cotrttrj’. Governor Lewis,
she said, came there about Bun-set,
alone, and inquired if he could stay
for the night; and, alighting, brought
his saddle into the house. He fras
dressed in a loose gown, white, strip
ed with blue. On being asked if he
came alone, he replied that there
were taro servants behind, who would
•oob be up. He called for some spi
rits, and drank a very little. When
the servants arrived, rate of whom
was a negro, he inquired for his pow
der, saying he was sure he had some
powder in a canister. The servant
gave no distinct reply, and Lewis, in
the mean while, walked backwards
and forwards before the door, talk
ing to himself. Sometimes, she said,
lie would seem as if he were yralking
up to her ; and would suddenly
wheel round, and walk back as fast
as he could. Supper being ready he
sat down, but had not eat but a lew
mouthfuls when he started up, spea
king to himself in a violent manner.
At these times, she says, she observ
ed his face to flush as if it had come
on him in a fit. He lighted his pipe,
and drawing a chair to the door, sat
down, saying to Mrs. Grinder, in a
kind tone of voice, “ Madam this
is a very pleasant evening.” He
smoked for "some time, but quitted
his seat and traversed the yard as
before. He again sat down to hi >
pipe, seemed again composed, and
casting his eyes wishfully towards
the west, observed what a sweet e
veiling it was. Mrs. Grinder waa
preparing a bed for him ; but he
said he would slefep on the floor, and
desired the servent to bring the bear
skin3 and buffaloe robe, which were
immediately spread out for him
and it being now dusk the woman
went oft to the kitchen, and the two
men to the barn, which stands about
two hundred yards off. The kitch
en is only a few paces from the room
where Lewis was, and the woman
being considerably alarmed by the
behavior ot her guest could not
sleep, but listened to him walking
backwards and forwards, she thinks,
for several hours, and talking aloud,
as she said, “ like a lawyer.” Sue
then heard the report of a pistol,
and something fell heavy on the floor,
and the words “ 0 Lord!" Imme
diately afterwards she heard ano
ther pistol, and in a few minutes she
heard him at her door calling out
“ 0 madam ! give me some water,
and heal my wounds." The logs
being open, aod unplastered, she saw
him stagger back and fall against a
slump that stands between the kitch-
en and room. He crawled for some
distance, raised himself by the side
ol a tree, where he sat about a ini
nute. He once more got to the room;
afterwards he came to the kitchen
door, but did not speak ; she then
heard him scraping the bucket with
a gourd for water ; but it appears
that this cooling element was deni
ed the dying man ! As soon as day
broke and not before, the terror ol
the woman having permitted him to
remain for two hours in this most de
plorable situation, she sent two of her
chrildren to the barn, her husband
not being at home, to bring the ser
vants { and on going in they found
him lying on the bed ; he uncovered
his side and shewed them where
the bullet had entered; a piece of the
forehead was blown off, and had ex
posed the brains, without having
bled much. He begged they would
take his rifle and blow out his brains,

was afprivatp, in the first company
of artillery in the garrison'd SR. He
lena, and on the 10th -of that month,
about half an hour before parade tune,
Mr. Kinnon, a gunner of.the second
company, asked me if I Was willing
to desert and-go with him on boat’d
an American ship called the Colum
bia, capt. Henry Lelar, which waa
the only ship at that time in the
Roads, After some conversation on
the subject, I unfortunately agreed
to meet hii® at seveavo’clock at the
playhouse, whereat that time, I found
him, accompanied by a private of ma
jor Beal’s, Called M*€luipn, one man
called Brighouse, another called Con
way, Purr and another by the hame
of Parr. Was a good seaman, and
sqid he would take us in a boat to
the Island of Ascension, or that he
wpuld lie off the harbour until tht-*
Columbia could weigh anchor^ and
come out. Wq Went about

HORRIBLE NARRATIVE.
The following extraordinary ac
count is written from the recollection
of a marine on board the Foudrayant,
Admiral De Courcy, when in the
Brazils:—
The natrative is candid, but not ve
ry clear, many places requiring ex
planation, ahd we wish the writer had
been more circumstantial in some
instances, and also that he had com
municated the relator’s name ; unfi
nished as irappears, it», however,
cloqk to- the west rock, where,’ w<^
found the boat of the Columbia with,
three sailors waiting for ua, They
took us on board their vessel^ where
Parr, went into the cabin, and we
changed our clothes. Aftpr we bad
been on board about half au hour,
Brighbuae and Conway proposed to
cut a whale-boat from out of the har
bour and to stand out to Sea, in or*
der to secure ourselves, as wq sus
pected the Columbia would be Search
ed for us. This was conqtyded on,
and we accordingly boarded the
whale boat, which we found moor
ed by a large stone ; they had on
board five oars and a coil of rope.
Having taken the large stone on board
we brought the boat along side the
American, it being now eleven o'
clock at night. Shortly after we ob
served several lanterns passing along
the line towards the sea-gate, and
hearing a great noise,* We supposed
we were misled and ‘sought foi.—
M’Qirtun, Parr, Bright u*e Conway
anc^Kinnon, got on board the whale
boat, taking with us 25 pounds of
bread, a keg containing about 13 gal.
Ions of water, a compass & a quadi ant,
all of which were given us by the
captain of the Colum'i a. In our
hurry, I suppose the quadrant l'cll o-
verboard, as we coulu not fin'd it af-
tei wards. We then let: tile ship,
and polled a lit ad ; . but the boat
was at this time haw lull of w. ter,
and ivc lucf neglected to take any
thing wail’ us cu bail hen In thifl
swumnm we rowed out t ) ee-, and lay
a considerable distance ,ff thy Island
expecting ihe American to* pick us
up, as the captain had promised to
do, ;n a e\v hours. We continued in
this situation until twelve o’clock the
second day alter leaving the Island,
but no ship appearing, Purr advised
hat we stioidd near away n r the Is
land ol Ascension, steering N. bf W-
and then N. N. VV. using an oar for
a mast, and our hankerenieis tied at
the corners lor a sa l- The wind bkw
a gale for two days, but the Weather
then became verv fine. M'Kinnott
kept a reckoning, hav ig pen, ink, 8c
paper, from die Columbia. We con*-
turned our course until the morning
of the 18.h, when we saw a number
ot birds, but no land appeared. Pafr
said, he was sure he had missed the
Island of Ascension. Finding our
substitute for a sail answer but badly,
we took off our shirts, and > made a
smalt spntsail of them. We then al
tered our course to W, by N. hoping
to make Rio de Janeiro, on the coast
of Brazil. During this tithe w<. suffer*
ed b vciciv trora the want of shelter,
and from the water in the boat, which
we could not keep clear with our
hats. We were also in great distress
for provisions, and were obliged to
stint ouraeks to about an ounce of
bread and two spoonfuls of water in
twenty-four hours. We were now
vary much exhasted by hunger and
fatigue, it being the 28th June, all
our bread wst expended. We had
no other prospect but that of a mi
serable death. M’Quinn took a piece
ot bamboo which lay hi the boat, and
chewed it, upon which we all follow*
ed hia example. Having remem*
