journey, asked the Indian whose horse was
young, strong, and spirited, 10 exchange vi.h

SPanIard therefore began 10 quarrel with him;
from words they proceeded 10 blows; and the
aggressor, being we'll armed, proved 100 pow

FEMALE SIR PCAPTAN.-Amongst the heet
wind.bound in FamIash last week, not the least,
bul perhaps the greatest wonder was, The good
old brig ClUlus, Of Sahcoats. which for more
than 20 years, has been commanded by an he.
roic and exceedingly clever young lady. Miss
Betsy Miller, the daughter of the late VIM. Mil
Ter, Esq, ship owner and wood merchant OF
that town. He was concerned with several
vessels both IN the American and coasling trade.
Miss Betsy, before she went 10 sea, acted as
ships husbund'' TO her father and seeing how
the captain in the many cases behaved; her ro.
nanuc and adventurous spirit impeIled her TO
60 10 sea herself. '..... .
Her father eralifed her caprice, aud gave her
the command of The CLAUS, which she holds
10 The present day, and she has weathered the
storms of The deep when many commanders OF
the other sex have been driven to pieces on the
rocks. Her position and altitude on the quar-.
Ter deck in gale of wind are often spoken of,
aud would do credit to an admiral. We must
not omit TO state that during the long period OF
this singular young lady's diversified voyaging.
no seamen of her crew or officer under her
command, could speak otherwise Of her than
with the greatest respect. The Clelus is we'll
known 10 The ports of Belfast, Dublin, Cork.
&C., &c. She has often been driven into this
loch, and is iamlIarly known among the rude
Highland boaIsmen, as "Inloig Iaish Captain
