upon such unremi;,ing attention to his official du-

lis father before he could escape. They then sur
rounded the house of Tustunnuggee, in which, be-
SIDES himself, Chilly M'Intosh. Mr. kennard, his

Chief was Immediately killed; but the others escap-

had crossed. They renamed in the neighbourhood
until about eleven o'clocl. during which time the
