lNTEKKSTIMJ HARRATIOX,
The following narration of Lieut. Van Camp,
will, no doubt, be read with interest by
most of our readers. Many of the incidents
related by him must still be fresh in the minds
of some of our old inhabitants :
C Concluded. J
I gave the signal ; they came and threw their
packs on the raft, which was made of small, dry
pine timber! with poles and paddles we drove
her briskly across the river, and had got nearly
out of reach of shot, when two of them came in ;
they fired, their shots did no injury; we soon
got under cover of an island, and went several
miles ; we had waded deep creeks through the
day, the night was cold, we landed on an island
and found n sink hrle, in which we made our
fire ; alter warming we were alarmed by a
cracking in the cruet ; Pike supposed that the
Indians had got on the island, and was for call
ing for quarters ; to keep him quiet we threat
ened him with his life ; the Flopping grew
plainer, and seemed coming dircc'.ly to the fire;
I kept a watch, and soon a noble racoon came
under the light. I shot the racoon, when Pike
jumped up and called out, "Quarters, gentle
men ; quarters, gentlemen." I took my game
by the leg and threw it down by the fire, here,
you cowardly rascal," I cried, "skin that and
give us a roast tor supper." The next night
we reached Wyoming, and there was much
jny to see us; we rested one day, and it being
not safe to go to Northumberland by land, we
procured a canoe, and with Pence and my cou
sin, we descended the river by night ; we came
to Fort Jenking's before day, when I found Col.
Kelly and about one hundred men encamped
out of the fort ; he came across from the West
Branch by the heads of Chillisqitaqtic toFishinjr
Creek, the end of the Nob Mountain, so called
at that day, where my father and brother were
killed ; he had buried my father and uncle ; my
brother was burnt, a part of him only was to be
found. Col. Kelly informed me that my mother
and her children were in the fort, and that it
was thought that I was killed likewise. Col.
Kelly went into the fort to prepare her mind to
see me; I took otTmy belt of scalps and hand
ed them to an oflicer to keep. Human nature
was not sufficient to stand the interview. She
hud just lo6t a husband and a eon, and one hud
returned to take her by the hand, and one too
that she supposed wus killed.
The day after, I went to Sunbury, where I
was received with much joy ; my scalps were
cxmmtcu, me cannon were nreu, ivc. lietorc
my return a commission had been sent me as
ensign of a company to be commanded by Cap
tain Thomas Itohinson; this was, as 1 u title r-sto-Kl,
a pirt of the quota which Pennsylvania
had to raise for the continental line. One Jo
seph Alexander was commissioned as Lieuten
ant, but did nut accept of his commission. The
summer ofl'fO was spent in the recruiliug ser
vice; our company was organised, and was re
tained for the defence of the frontier service.
In February, IT1!, I was promoted to a lieu-
tenancy, and entered upon the active duty of an
oflicer by heading scouts, and as Captain Robin-
son was no woodsman nor marksman, be pr-
ferred thut I should encounter the danger mid
head the scouts ; we kept up a continual chain
of scouts around the frontier settlement, from
the North to the West Branches of the Susque
hanna, by the way of the head w aters of l.rttle
Fishing Creek, Chilli -qmique, and Money, &c
In the spring of IT"5!, we built a fort on ibe

would divide into small parties, attack the
whole chain of frontiers at the same time on
Ihe same day. Col. Samuel Hunter selected a
company of five to reconnoitre, viz : Captain
Campbell, IVter and Michael droves, Lieut.
Cramer and myself; the party was called the
(Jrove party. We carried with us three weeks'
provisions, and proceeded up the West Branch
with n. mil caution and care; we reached the
Smneinuhuiiitig, but inado no discovery except
old tracks, we inurclieu up the Simieiuuhoning
so fur that we were satisfied that it was a false

j Siniiemuhoniitg, near night, we dtscovert d a
' b10ke ; we were conhdeut it w aa a pari v ot
Indians, which we must have asscd uy, or
they got there some other wuy ; we discover
ed there was a large party, how inuny we
could not tell, but prepared for the attack. As
soon as it was dark we new primed our rifles,
sharpened our flints, examined our tomahaw k
handles, and all being ready we waited with
great impatience, and till they all lay down ;
the time came, and with the utmost silence we
advanced trailed our rifles in one hand and the
tomahawk in the other. The night waa warm;
we found some of them rolled in their blankets
i rod or two from their fires. Having got a

they arose like a dark cloud ; we now trii d our 1
shots, and raised the war yell, they took to
flight in the utmost confusion, but few taking
time to pick up their rifles. We remained
masters of the ground and all their plunder, and
took several scalps. It was a party of twenty,
five or thirty, which had been aa low down as
I'enn's Creek, and had k'lled and scalped two
or three families; we fotit.d several scalps of
different ages which they had taken, and a
large quantity of domestic cloth which we car
ried to Northumberland and gave to the distress
ed who had escaped the tomahawk and knife.
In December, '61, our company was ordered
to Lancaster; we descended the river in boats
to Middletown, where our orders were counter
manded, and were ordered to Reading, Berks
county, where we were joined by a part of the
third and fifth Pennsylvania regiments, and a
company of the Congress regiment. We toek
charge of the Hessians taken prisoners with
General Burgoyne. In the latter part of March,
at the opening of the campaign of 17S2, we
were ordered by Congress to our respective
stations. I marched Robinson's company to
Northumberland, where Thomas Chambers
joined, who had been recently commissioned
as an ensign of our company. We halted at
Northumberland two or three days for our men
to wash and rest ; from thence Ensign Cham
bers and myself were ordered to Muney, Sam
uel allis plantation, there to make a stand
and rebuild Fort Muncy, which had been de
stroyed by the enemy. We reached that sta
tion and built a small block-house for the storage
of our provisions about the 10th anil 11th of A
pril, Captain Robinson came on with Esquire
Culbertson, James Dougherty, William M'Gra
dyand Mr. Itarkely ; I was ordered to select
twenty or twenty-five men with these gentle
men, and to proceed up the west branch to the
Big Island, and thence up the Bald F.agle creek
to the place where a Mr. Culbertson had been
killed. On the loth of April, at night, we
reached the place and encamped for the night ;
on the morning of the 10th, we were attacked
by eighty-five Indians. It was a hard fought
battle; Esquire Culbertson and t woollier made
their escape ; I think that we had nine killed,
and the rest of us were made prisoners. We
were all tlripped of our clothinj except our
pantaloons. W hen they took off my shirt they
discovered my commission ; our commissions
were written on parchment, and carried in a
silk case hung with a ribbon in our bosom,
several gut bold of it, and one fellow cut the
ribbon with bis knife, ami succeeded in (Jit. lin
ing it. They took us a little distance from the
battle ground, made the prisoners sit down in a
small ring, the Indians funning another around
us in close ord?r : each with bin rifle and toma
: haw k in his band. They brought up five Indi
ans we had killed, and laid them within tneir
I circle. E.ieh one reflected for himself; our
i tune would probably be short, and respecting
! myself, looking hack to the year 1TS0, and the
i party I had killed, if 1 was dincoverwl to be the
P,TH,m "')' rs0 would he a hard one. Their
I prophet or chief warrior made a speech; as I
1 WH8 informed afterwards by the British Lieu
tenant, w ho belonged to the party, he was con
sulting the Oteat Spirit what to do with the
prisoners, w hether to kill us on the spot or spare
our lives ; he came to the conclusion that there
had been blood enough shed, and as to the men
they had lost, it was Ihe fate of war, and we
' Tm,st v ink, n Bnrt J,,P,,'d ,,,lu famines ot
those whom we had killed; we were then di
vided among them according to the number of
fires ; pucks were prepared for us, and they re
turned across the river at Bis Ulaud in bark
cunoes ; they then made their way across the
hit's, and came to Dine Creek, aboc first forks
which they followed up to the third forks, anil
look the most northerly branch to the head of it
and thence to the head waters of the Cenuessee
river.
After two days travel down the Cenuessee
river, we came to a place called Pigeon Woods,
where a great nutnlx'r of Indian families, end
ond young, had come to catch yotinj; pigeons :
there we met a party of about forty warriors,
on their way to the frontier settlements ; they
encamped some little distance apart, the war
riors of the two parties holding a council at our
camp. I soon perceived that I wus the subject
ot their Conversation I was seized and drug
ged to the other ciitnp, where the warriors were
sitting on one side of a large fire I w us seut
ed alone on the opposite side. Every eye was
fixed upon me I perceived a man pressing
through the crowd became to me and set down
I saw he was a w Into man painted and in In
dian dress. He examined me on the situation
of Ihe frontiers, the strength of our forts, the
range of our scouts, A c. After he got through
he observed that there was only one there be
sides himself that knew me. "Do you know me
sir," said I. "I do, y on are the muii that kill
ed the Indians." I thought of the fire and the
stuke he observed that he was a prisoner ami
a friend that his name was Jones, and he had
been taken prisoner in 171, with Captain John

expose me, and if I could pass through undis
covered and be delivered up to the British, I
would be safe, if not 1 would have' to die at the
stake. The next morning they moved down
the river two days after they cume to the Ca
neadia village, the first on the Geiinessro river
where we were prepared to run the Indian
gauntlet the warriors don't whip, it is the
young Indiana and squaws. They meet you
in sight of the council house, where 'hey select
the prisoners from the ranks of the warriors,
bring them in front, and when ready the word
joggo is given the prisoners start, the whip-
pers follow after, and if they outrun you will be
severely whipped. I was placed in front of my
men the word being given we alarted. Being
then young and full of nerve, I led the way
two young squaws came running tip to join the
w-hipping party, and when they saw us start,
they halted and stood shoulder to shoulder w ith
their whips w hen I came near them I bound
ed and kicked them ever there was consider
able kicking amongst lis, so much so Mint they
showed their under dress which was of a beau
tiful yellow color I had not time to help them
up. It was truly diverting to the warriors
they yelled and shouted till they made the air
ring. They halted at that village for one day,
and thence went to Fort Niagara, where I was
delivered up to the British. I was adopted ac
cording to the Indiun custom, into Col. Butler's
family, then the commanding oflicer of the Bri
tish and Indians at that place. I was to sup
ply the loss of his sou Capt. Butler, who was
killed late in the tall of 171, by the Americans.
In honor to me as his adopted son, I was con
fined in a private room, and not put under a
British guard. My troubles soon began ; the
Indians were informed by the lories that knew
me that I had been a prisoner before, and had
killed my captors they were outrageous, and
sent to Butler and demanded me, and as I was
told, offered to bring in fourteen prisoners in my
place. Butler sent an oflicer to examine me
on the subject; he came and informed tne that
their Indians laid heavy accusations against me
they were informed that I had been a prison
er before, and killed the party, and that they
had demanded me to be given up to them, and
that his Colonel wished to know the fact. I
oWrved, "Sir, it is a serious question to an
swer I will never deny the truth I have been
a prisoner before, and killed the party, and re
turned to the service of my country but, sir
I consider myself to be a prisoner of war to the
British, and I presume yo.i will have more
honor than to deliver me up to the savages. i
know what my fatew i'l he, and please to in
form your Colonel that we have it in otir pow
er to retoliate." lie left me a short time, am
returned and stated that he was authorised to
say to me that there was no alternative for me
to save my life tout to abandon the rebel cause
and join the British standard; that I should take
the same rank in the British service as I held
in ttie renei service. "Ao, sir, no five me
the stake, the toinahnw k, or the knife, before
British commission liberty or death is our mot
to ;' he then left me. Some time after a Itnlv
came to my room, w ith whom I had been weil
ncqiiatnted before the Revolution we hud bee
schoolmates she was then married to a British
oflicer, a captain of the Queen's Rangers h
came Willi tier. rlie had been to I ol. Ilutler.
and she was authorized to make me tin- same
ofliT the officer had done I thanked her for the
tumble she had taken for my safety, but could
not accept of the otlVr she observed how much
more honorable it would be to be an oflicer in
the British service. I observed that I could not
thus dispose of myself in that way I belonged
to the Congress of the United Slates, and that
I would abide the consequences she left me,
and it was the last I heard of it. A guard was
set at ihe d'Nir of my apartment.
In about four days after I was sent down
Luke Ontario to a place called Carlton Island,
from thence down the Si. Lawrence to Mon
treal, where I was placed in prison, and found
forty or fitly of our American officers, ami where
we had the honor to l k through the iron
grates. The fourth of July was drawing near;
ten of us combined to celebrate the political
birthday of our country we found ways and
means to have some brandy conveyed to us un
known to the British guard, and we hud a high
day, after mukiut; a compromise w i t It the rjuurd.
It wus highly olleiisive to the Butish oilicers,
and we ten were taken out and sent to Qui bee,

nnbrrt Emmet and hla Lore.
'Twos the evening of a lovely day the last
for the noble ill-fated Emmet. A younir lady
tood at the castle gate and desired admittance
into the dungeon. She was closely veiled ar.d
the keeper could not imagine who she was, nor
why one ot such proud bearing should be a sup
pliant at the prison door. However, he gran
ted tho boon led her to the dungeon, opened
the massive door, then closed it again, and the
lovers were alone. He leaned against the pri
son wull, with a downcast head and his arms
were folded upon his breast. Gently she rai
sed the veil from her face, and Emmet turned
to gaze upon all that earth contained for him
the girl whose sunny brow in the days of boy
hood had been his polar star the maiden who
iad sometimes made him think "the world was
all sunshine." The clanking of the heavy
chains sounded like a death-knell to her ear,
and she wept likea child. Emmet said but lit
tle, yet he pressed her warmly to his bosom
and their feelings held a silent meeting such,
perchance, as is held in heaven, only there we
part no more. In a low voice he besought her
not to forget him w hen the cold grave received
hie inanimate body he spoke of by-gone days
the happy hours of childhood when his liojies
w ere bright and glorious, and lie concluded by
r ipicsting her sometimes to visit the place and
cones that were hallowed to his memory from
the days of his infancy ; and should the world
pronounce his name with scorn and contempt,
he prayed she would still cling to him with af
fection, and remember him when all others
should forget. Hark! the church-bell sounded
and he remembered the hour of execution. The
turnkey entered, and after dashing the tears
from his eyes, lie separated them from their
long embrace, and led the lady from the dun
geon. At the entrance she turned, and their
eyes met they could not say farewell the
door swung on its heavy hinges, and they par
ted forever. No ! nut forever ! Is there no
heaven !
At Sunree next morning he snfFtred glori
ously a martyr to his country and to liberty.
"And one o'er her the myrtle ahowers
It's leaves by sort winds fanned ;
Shp faded 'midst Italian flowers
That last of that fair band."
'Twas in the land of Italy w hat a gorgeous
time of sunset in Italy what a magnificent
scene ! A pale, emaciated girl lay upon her
bed of death. Oh! it was hard for her to die,
far from home in this beautiful land, where
flowers bloom perennial, and the balmy air
comes freshly to the pining soul. Oh ! no
her star has set ! the brightness of her dream
had faded her heart was broken. When ties
have been formed on earth close, burning ties
what is more heart-rending anJ agouizing to
the spirit, than to find at last the beloved one is
snatched away, and all our bve is given to a
"passing flower !" Enough ; she died the be
trothed ot tiobert limine!, the lovely Sarah Cur
ran. Italy contain her lust remains its flow
ers breiiilie their fragrance over her grave, and
the lulling notes of the shepherd's flute sound a
requiem to her memory.
