in the afternoon and heard one Mr.
Mason preach fine sermon from the

given to the parents, making them
promise to keep up the religion of we

One Thomas White broke Mr.. Samuel
Lowdin's head last night in an abusive
manner, It's said, and agreed on all
hands that he is much to blame, even
by the Jorreys themselves, who is one
of them, and on that part he abused
Mr.. Lowden, but it seems to be now
granted on all hands in We other affray
between Captain Sears and Captain
Brain that Captain Sears was the ag-
gressor, some having acknowledged as
much who We're Sears friends, and it
is further said that Sears has confessed
himself to blame and has so settled the
matter, but the first account was as l

Monday, October Sd, Breakfast
ed and supped at Captain Henshaws,
who I found this afternoon on board
my brig much out in his reason this af-
ternoon, declaring in the most solemn
manner he never would go to his fanli-
ly again. / pointed out to him the evil
and wicked tendency of such resolu-
ton; that it was all a delusion of Sa-
tan and ! had reason to think he had
been very busy with him. 1 turned
him to many texts of Scripture which l
thought suitable to him, and finally got
him so composed as to take the Bible
and read while / went to Mr. tongues,
We broker, but really went to let his
wife know he was there. She was I'M
der much concern for him. I promised
to do my best endeavors to get him
home, and l did succeed after much en-
treaty and Hattery and walking an
hour or two about town and discourse
| ing upon We great Importance of resist
ing We devil steadfast in We faith with
a dependence upon the grace and
| strength Of Christ. I left him much
composed and promised to see him
again in the morning; got out and cop
led inventory of my brig stores and left
one with Mr.. Tongue and the other
with Mr.. Inley, who agreed to furnish
Mr.. Hobby with we main of We goods he
wants.
