Notary Public, signed by several Persons,
against John Malcom, for seizing, on the
7th Inst. in Kennebeck-River, the Schoo
ner Freedom. On his being alked the Rca
fon for his making the Seizure, he said, — "1
have a Right to seize any Vessel I please, in
the molt private Manner, & am not obliged
to give any Reason to any Body therefor,
having Authority so to do by my Commis
sion ; and this Seizure will make all Coas
ters know eg Power."—He also said, "I
have not seized her for having contraband
Goods, for I don't think she has any on
board."
A Canoe, on Thursday the sth Infant,
crossing the River at Fenobicot, overfet
with seven People in her, 5 of whom were
drowned, viz, Jcfeph Rose and two Sons,
one of 15 Years old, and the other about 11 ;
two young Men belonging to Cul. Goldth
wait, viz. Benjamin Chandler and James
Dunn, about 20 Years old each. The other
two with much Difficulty were saved.
A few Days before this, a Squaw was
drowned, near the fame Place, in going a

About the fame Time, two Canoes of
Indians were hunting Moose in iH Night,
as is usual at this Seaton of the Year ; and
being in Phrfuit of one, which was swim
ming at a small Diflance from the headmoft
Canoe, an Indian in the other, taking that
Canoe to be the Moose, fired and killed one
of his Companions, whole Name was Lo
ron, the likeliest Indian in the Fenobfcot
Tribe. As soon as he was dead, the other
Indians cut off one of his Hands, salted and
fmoaked it, in order to preserve it, to carry
to their Fried in Canada, according to their
Custom, in accidental Death.

^College, lately made a Visit to the Penob

mentioned above, was Qne of the Deputies
who met Mr. Ripley, to confer with him
upon his Mission. and was his greatefl Op
ponent. —This Gentleman did not so entire
ly confine himfelt to his Indian Million, as
To omit the Duties of Chriflianty wherever

Name behind him.
