John &acktouse, the Esquimaur Indian.
Such is the baptismal appellation given
to this Indian on his conversion 10 the
christian faith. During his stay in England
he was taught the English language, in
which he has made very tolerahie pro-
iiciency, and his hand writing is legible.-
In his person he is well made, his complex
ION a copper color, and he is about five feet
six inches in heigbt-he is robust and very
active. His canoe, which is now on board
the Isabella, sent out 10 explore the archie
regions, is the same in which he was found
at sea. 1t is fifteen feet long. and entirely
formed from the skin of the sea calf.-it is
sea proof. Each end is pointed, like those
boats that ply on the Thames, and which
are called FUNNrEs but the upper part is
open like the deck of little sloop. In
the midst is an opening in which he seats
himself, which comes up 10 his loins-then,
by means ola belt made Of the intestines
Of the whale, lie fastens round his body the
skins that are placed round this opening !;
and The upper part Of his body is SO well
wrap ed up in furs, that only his hands and
face are exposed to the water. In this po-
sition, with one single paddle, he maneu-
yres his canoe either in advance or retreat,
with the most surprising swiltness, and far
superior to that of any tour cared cutter
but What is the most astonishing OF all his
manGuyres, he can give to his vessel all
the properties ofsa diving machine, and
shelter himself like an aquatic fowl in the
most stormy weather-he lays il entirely
on one side, and is totally plunged Under
the water, while his canoe, still following
the same direction, has its keel turned up
wards--he then goes on the other side. pla-
ces himself as befDre-what renders this
movement tue more extraordinary is, that
during all this time be never lets go his
paddle. He has shown these manteuvies
OIL the river TO the establishment oil a crowd
of spectators. When he. throws his dart
he never misses his aim, and he throws a
long lance 10 considerable distance.

SINGULAR AND SOLEMN. EVENT.
We are indebted to an officer, late Of his
maiesty's ship Venguer, for the following
awful narrative, which recently occurred
on board that ship, and OF which he was an
eve witness. seaman on board his ma
jesty's ship Rivoli appeared to have the
greatest possible aversion 10 the naval SER
vice, and was most anxiously looking for
ward to the ships being paid off, thinking,
like thousands OF others, who have perhaps
been equally disappointed, that he could
easily provide for himself on shore. His
shipmates laughed at his constant ratings
against his profession, and jokingly used
to say, we shall see you on board man Of
war again,one day brother: yet, to which
he usually replied that he only hoped ife-
yer he went on board man Of war again
Tor the purpose of entering that God Al
mighty would instantly strike him dead
The Revolt was at last paid of at Ports
mouth, on her return from the Mediterra-
mean, and it is supposed all the schemes
vanished which the unfortunate subject OF
this memoir had formed Nothing was
now left him but again to embrace his OF
profession, for which purpose he went on
board his majesty's ship Vengeur, captain
Alexander, at Portsmouth. Lieut.. Blake,
the senior Lieutenant of the Vengeur, and
also number of her seamen, formerly
served in the Revolt, the latter of which
were much surprised at seeing their OLD
shipmaie come on board as volunteer
Lieutenant Blake glanced over his cer,ifi-
cafes, and as usual, ordered one OF the me-
dicaf officers to examine him, previous to
his being placed on the books-when in
the act of turning himself TO go below for
that purpose, dreadful TO relate, he fell
down liteless on the quarterback,
