the province.

These are considerations which I beg your Lordship will please to submit
to His Majesty's advisers. The unhappy state of _Mr. Godfrey's_
misfortunes will, I am persuaded, speak everything in his favour with
your Lordship, which his past services or present suffering can entitle
him to.

I have the honour to be,
Yours, &c., &c.,

WM. CAMPBELL.
_The Earl of Hillsborough_.


After remaining at Halifax for five months, an opportunity offered for
Captain Godfrey to leave for England. He sailed with his wife and family
in the brigantine "Adamante," William Macniel, master, on the twentieth
day of December, 1771. Paul Guidon remained at Halifax about six weeks
after he had arrived with the Godfreys. While at Halifax he was much
admired by the officers of the army, and those of the navy paid him
even greater attentions. Margaret had circulated the report that the
Indian was of the Iroquois tribe, and as brave a man as ever drew a bow.
He wanted for nothing. He was dined and wined by the citizens generally.

The Governor took a deep interest in him, and secured a vast amount of
information from him respecting the character and movements of the
Indians on the St. John. One of the officers of the navy presented him
with a complete suit of navy-blue clothes, and an officer of the
garrison fitted him out with a second-hand undress military suit.
