ABSTRACT
While the brave sachem was singing his own funeral dirge, the savages were busy in tearing his flesh, breaking his bones, and setting fire to the numerous pine-knots which they had inserted, in / various parts of his body. He maintained his firmness, until he triumphantly expired in a full blaze, amid the universal applauses of the spectators of both sexes, who were highly gratified with this display of heroism. Miss Eliza, and Ann Jarvis, who were compelled to be present at this exhibition, were nearly fainting with horror, and Dr. Sourby lamented the cruel conduct of the savages, and the fate of so gallant a warrior, who had been, with his tribes, renowned in the British service.
