that Logan spoke English well, and very soon ma* nifested a friendly disposition to this subscriber, and told him to be of good heart, that he would not be killed, but must go with him to his town, where he would probably be adopted in some of their fa- milies ; but above all things that he must not at- tempt to run away ; that in the course of the jour- ney to the Indian town he generally e?ideavoured to keep close to Logan, who had a great deal of conversation with him, always encouraging him to be cheerfid and without fear ; for that he would not be killed, but should become one of them ;
