Страница 38 - British man of war, in the harbour of Portsmouth, were seated round the fire, one of them began to play a plaintive air on the violin. He had scarcely performed ten minutes, when a mouse apparently frantic, made its appearance in the centre of the floor. The strange gestures of the little animal, strongly excited the attention of the officers, who with one consent resolved to suffer it to continue its singular actions unmolested.

Страница 85 - In passing through the large prairies they were much distressed for water and provisions, for they saw neither beast nor bird; and though there was an abundance of salt springs, fresh water was very scarce. In one of these prairies, the salt springs ran into small ponds, in which, as the weather was hot, the water had sunk, and left the edges of the ponds so covered with salt, that they fully supplied themselves with that article, and might easily have collected bushels of it. As they were travelling...
Страница 122 - ... animal creation. He was never known to have been at enmity with any man. During the whole course of his life, there was not a single instance of his engaging in a litigious contest with any of his neighbours, or others.

He was,...

He was born and educated in the sect called Quakers. But his religious creed may, perhaps, be best collected from a pious distich, engraven by his...

Страница 122 - His common drink was pure water, small-beer, or cyder mixed with milk. Nevertheless, he always kept a good and plentiful table. Once a year, commonly on new year's day, he made a liberal entertainment for his relations, and particular friends. His stature was rather above the middle size, and upright. His visage was long, and his countenance expressive of a degree of dignity, with a happy mixture of animation and sensibility. He was naturally industrious and active, both in body and mind; observing,...
Страница 83 - Jessamine-county, a gentleman with whom I have been long acquainted, and who is well known to be a man of veracity, communicated a relation to me, which, at all events, appears to merit serious attention. After he had related it in conversation, I requested him to repeat it, and committed it to writing. It has certainly some internal marks of authenticity.
