would take up a hat, put it on his head, and imitate the man¬ 
ner of our people walking in their military exercife ; would 
recollect every occurrence that happened, and nothing that 
he obferved done by the Englijh efcaped him; in fhort, on 
every occafion his manner was lively and engaging to 
a degree. From the firft time of his having feen the 
great Newfoundland dog, as before mentioned, he felt de¬ 
light in going to him frequently, and in carrying him 
vi6tuals; and by'noticing him fo much, the dog naturally 
expreffed great joy whenever he went to him. When he 
was brought on board the Antelope, in England , the dog 
was named Sailor , and now, familiarized to Arra Kooker, 
would, whenever he appeared, bark, jump, leap, and play 
his tricks ; and his new acquaintance, when he wifhed to 
be amuling, would imitate wonderfully well the barking, 
howling, j umping, and all the various demonflrations of joy 
of this poor animal.
