27G Kennedy's expedition. 



each end of the grave I planted two larg"e bushes^ 

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

 bottle was suspended over the g-rave^ with a paper in 

 it^ stating- who was interred^ with the date^ &c. j 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 ; the sag-acity and knowledg-e he displayed in 

 traversing- the trackless wilderness w ere 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 j his two companions* also conducted 

 themselves well; and were very useful on shore.
