he received much attention. An Enghsh 

 journal thus mentions his arrival: "The 

 soundoftrumpetsannounced the approach 

 of the patriot Francis, who fought so glo- 

 riously in our cause in America during 

 the late Avar. Being dressed in a most 

 splendid suit of red and gold, and wearing 

 a tomahawk set with gold, gave him a 

 highly imposing appearance." His mis- 

 sion led to no practical result. Near the 

 oloseof 1817an American named McKrim- 

 mon, who had been captured by a Semi- 

 nole party, was taken to JNIikasuki, where 

 dwelt Hiilis Hadjo, who ordered him to be 

 burned to death, but at the last moment 

 his life was saved by the entreaties of 

 Milly (q.v.), the chief's daughter, who, 

 when her father wavered, showed her de- 

 termination to perish with him. Francis 

 shortly thereafter fell into the hands of 

 the Americans and was hanged. His 

 wife and several daughters afterward sur- 

 rendered to the Americans at St Marks, 

 Fla., where INIilly received much attention 

 from the whites, but refused McKrim- 

 mon's offer of marriage until assured that 

 it was not because of his obligation to her 

 for saving his life. (c. t.)
