He admittezl that he was not the bearer of any letters of introduction to the families ofeither province, but his motive for under- taking so long a voyage amSe from a desire to gratify his curiosity. With this somewhat vague and un- satisfactory explanation our family were fain compelled to be satisfied. ‘The mate and our other uncom- municative guest left us in a few days for Quebec, where the former soon obtained employment on board a homeward bound ship; the latter was to all appearances idle, and a wanderer, without any ostensible occupation. and without acquaintâ€" ances. On one or two occasions I met the young man on the banks of . the river Charles, and in some mea- dows under Beauport, where, like myself, he had come in quest of snipes. Our greeting was always friendly. and l might say cordial, for I liked him in spite of his caution and reserve. The last time I ever saw him in the neighborhood of Quebec was in the spring of the year following his arrval amongst us. We met in s0me stubble and fallow-fields behind the village of Beauport, where a very tolerable sprinkling of snipe is sure to be found as the floods drive the birds from the marshes. Jackson, or the handsome "Jack Tar,’ as he was nick-named, gave me to understanl that he had taken up his quarters at Indian Lo- rette, a village romantically situated about six or seven miles from Queâ€" becâ€"that he liked the country,_and should make friends with some In- dians living in the village, in the hope of accompanying them on their hunt- ing expeditiousmn their return from Lower Canada. We shot together during the afternoon, and alter an exchange of drums we parted, and as it proved, for the last time. ‘ My father’s dealings with the merchants for timber, slaves, and shingles, led me frequently into the city of Quebec, and taking some in- terest in the welfare of the young man,I made inquiries as to his haunts and habits of every person likely to afford me any information. All I could learn was that he occasionally walked with his gun on his shoulder from Indian Lorrette to the lower town, and had been heard to make inquiries at the ship-broker’s. if any captains of trading v».-ssels lately arrived from EurOpe had asked for a gentleman named Edwin Jackson, or if any packages had been received so directed. ‘ Conjectures were as rife as ever as to whom this Mr. Edwin Jackson was. when the towns, both upper and lower, of Quebec, were in a state of commotion, and all the anti- quated virgins in a state of horror and alarm, on learning that this mys- terious stranger had eloped with the young and beautiful daughter of one of the Indian chiefs inhabiting the village of Lorelle.

It was late in the season, and the privations and hardships endured by the survivors of the calamity were dreadful.
