276 Kennedy's expedition. 



each end of the g-rave I planted two large bushes^ 

 and on the top were placed several larg-e stones. A 

 bottle was suspended over the g-rave, with a paper m 

 it^ stating" who was interred^ with the date, &c. ; and 

 at sunset we returned on board. 



I cannot close my extracts without mentioning* 

 the exemplary conduct of Jackey Jackey. Since he 

 came on board I have always found him quiet, 

 oblig'ing", and very respectful j when on shore he was 

 very attentive, nothing- could abstract him from his 

 object j the sag-acity and knowledg-e he displayed in 

 traversing- the trackless wilderness were astonishing- ; 

 when he found the places he went in search of, he 

 was never flushed with success, but invariably main- 

 tained his quiet, unobtrusive behaviour; he was much 

 concerned at not being- able to find the remains of 

 his late unfortunate master to whom he was sincerely 

 attached ; his two companions* also conducted 

 themselves well, and were very useful on shore.
