VIcIssITUDEs OF LIFE.-Charles A. De-
Forest, of Norwich, Chenango county, N. Y,
one of the crew of the United States fripate
Macedonian, in Commodore Perry squadron,
writes to his father letter, dated Island of
Jeddo, in JAPAN" from which we take the
following =
We came to an anchor at the BONN ISL
ands, in a small but beautiful bay, nearly sur
rounded by high hills. The island is very
rough, but, where there is any level land it is
very rich and well cultivated. AS soon as we
dropped our anchors, we sent boats ashore for
wood and water, and others to fish, The lat
ter returned at shutdown, with 500 fish, and
four turtles weighing about 800 pounds each.
We had turtle every day while there, and took
sixty with us to sea, weighing 300 to 400 lbs.,
so you may know that we lived well. Three
turtles each day were made into soup. 1
would not give my share of it for the best dish
l ever eat.
While at this island, 1 had liberty for twen-
ty-four hours, and, although there was not
much to be seen, spent the time very pleas
antly. | gathered some very fine shells and
coral; and got acquainted with a Mr.. Slavery,
a native of Massachusetts. He has been on
the island % years, is a very interesting and
intelligent man, has seen variety of life and
passed through many hardships and trials,
49, AHS
was richly paid. He gave me part Of his
history, in which he said, as near as l can rec
olleet -
twenty-five years ago, myself, with thirty
other persons, fitted out small vessel at the
Sandwich Islands, came to this place and set
tied. Twas their governor and adviser. Some
of the party are here now, but many of them
are dead or gone. Four years ago, three small
vessels came in here to repair. The crew
were hard looking set of men, and l soon
thought they intended to rob me. hid my
money, and buried my valuable things. My
fears were too true, for they came ashore one
night, and was compelled to fly to the hills
to save my life, where remained nine days
living on raw potatoes, until saw the vessels
all depart-when | returned to my house-for
that and my land was all that l had left Il
found that my money and valuables had been
dug up and carried off, all my live stock, and
even my fowls and chickens were gone. and,
to complete my desolation, my wife, Ga Span
ish woman) and child were also carried off by
this pirate crew."
