Extract of a letter from the Bay of Fundy, in the Province
of Nova Scotia, August 12, 1770.
His excellency Lord William Campbell in his Majesty's Ship
Senegal, . . . arrived. . .
On the 16th the headmen of the Passmaquady tribe of Indians,
waited upon his Excellency. . .
On the next day the 17th his Excellency attended by Sir
Thomas Rich, William Owen, Esq; and Capt. Gould, went to
Point Pleasant, where the whole Passmaquady tribe were
encamped, and were received with the greatest demonstrations
of joy, the English colours flying, and a general discharge
of musquetry. His Lordship being conducted into the
Chieftan's wigwam, received fresh assurances from all the
elders of the tribe of their invariable sincere attachments
to the British interest: In the evening when his lordship
departed, the whole encampment was illuminated; and after a
general discharge of musquetry, the Dance of Joy continued
on the beach, whilst his Excellency continued in view.
