A SHORT SKETCH
Os Ihe History Os
An Impxessei) American Sea man,
Written by one who knew his
worth, who loved Lis vir
tues, and has often wept
over his sufferings and his
sorrows :
It was in the year 1806 thatjAS.
Brown, then in the 25th year of
his age, who had been rnanied one
year, and was the only stay of a
widowed mother, feeble, old and
poor ; it was, as I well remember,
in the spring of 1808, that he em
batked at this porr, on board an
American (hip, on a voyage to the
East Indies. The voyage was
profperous.-~He had been permit
ted to embark his little all in a ven
ture, and as the ship neared the
shore he would gaily walk the
deck, and on his watch at night
calculate all his gains, and often, in
the fondnefs of a fervid imagina
tion, would he pour his board of
wealth into the lap c-f his beloved
wife and affeClionate n.other. In
such reveries did he often indulge
[Numbek 3 1.
till his full heart would overflow,
and the big tears of joyiul expect
ation roll down his manly check.
From one of thd'e induigings of
the heart he was aroused by I cry
from the mast head of “ A sail !
a sail!** The fail proved to be a
British frigate. She Lent a gang of
ruffians on board, and, in spite of
remonstrance, in defiance of right,
they dragged p.cor Jemmy Brown
more dead than alive into their boat.
Ihty with many a bloody lash,
compelled him to work and fight
their battles He toiled and
fought, and trusted that a day
would come when he might escape
from his task-masters and regain his
native land. Once he jumped o
verboard, in the hope of finding
protection in a neutral country: he
reached the shore, but before he
could even dry his-clothes he was
again in the power of his enslavers.
His labor was redoubled, fcotFs,
scorns and scourges were multiplied
and his manly spirit was finking
under burden when the pews
reached him that the Uriited States
had declared war again ft Great
Britain :—“ Then so help me hea
ven,” said the captive, “if ever I
raise my arm against my country
or my countrymen. lam in your
power, said he to the British cap
tain j “I have been your Have Gr
years, and you may dispose of me
as you will, but neither pumfhtpen:
nor privation shall ever induce me
again to work or fight under the
flag of the declared enemy of my
country.” This declaration was
firmly adhered to in defiance of
threats a*nd blows.
He was at Icntgth landed, as a
prifuner of war, in England, that
country for which he had f< r fix
years been compelled to work and
fight ; he was landed without a
fiiilling in his pocket,- and, mana
cleu like a felon, he was marched
to Dartmoor prison, arid there con
fined. For moths he lived in jail
and the sensibilities of his nature of
ten wounded his heart when, he
pictured the distress of his wife and
the ferjow of his poor old mother,
whole ‘age almost precluded the
hope of his ever again folding her
to his bosom. Sometimes the
beams of hope would irradiate his
path when he would hear of the
victories of his brave countrymen,
and he would long to contribute
more than his prayers, to their suc
cesses.
He hoped to be exchanged : one
cartel came then another, but as
those that were taken in fight were
firft exchanged, our poor sailor was
ftiil left to sigh in captivity. A.t
length a rumor of peace lound its
way into the prison ; the rumor
was confirmed, the peace Was rati
fied, and many a heart in Dart
moor prison beat high with joy ; .
but none, no not one beat more
-tumultuously than did the heart of
Brown. His imagination revelled
in delight. He (hook hads with
all his meifmates. He was to be
restored again to freedom, tq his
country again to feel the fond, the
heart warm jpreffere of a wife’s
