mission OF good Queen Anne, whom

looked so much like a pirate when l
reached her deck this morning, that, as

airing for an attack.
What particularly attracted your
attention."
First, the evident familiarity of the
men and officers; and then many OF the
bearded pirates, for such they looked

Jewels Of great value on their fingers.
Think Of such things on the hands Of
sailors with seven pence half-penny a

Found with bullet through his
head, said another, "on Hampstead

In response to further inquiries, it
was learned that the unfortunate man
was post-rider on the way from New
York to Sag Harbor, that inscription
beng found on his empty leathern pouch.
Some OF the people thought this the
work OF robbers; others were sure it
was done in revenge by slaves who had
ahen 10 the woods, and few very wise

"hiie these rumors and comments

recognized as an old acquaintance, and

fellow, called out:
