or of Nova Scotia:--

WHITEHALL, _May 24th, 1784_.

SIR,--

You will receive herewith a memorial, which has been presented to me by
Captain Charles * * * Godfrey, * * * praying that proper orders may be
given for the immediate recovery of his lands upon the St. John, River,
in the Province of Nova Scotia. As I understand, upon inquiry, that Mr.
Godfrey was dis-possessed of his property previous to the Independence
of America, on account of his loyalty and the active part he took for
the support of His Majesty King George the Third's Government. I am
induced to recommend the prayer of the petition to your favourable
consideration.

I am, Sir, your most
Obedient Humble Servant,
SYDNEY.

emissaries in Nova Scotia. There is no missing link, the chain of
evidence is completed by the passport to Captain Godfrey from the Rebel
Committee at Maugerville, in July, 1776. After the lapse of one hundred
and twelve years, the fact is revealed that there were persons in Nova
Scotia who were employed by the New England colonists, and paid by them
to incite the Indians to revolt, and hold out bribes to honest and loyal
settlers to forsake their King and country.

It may be that in the near or distant future facts will be brought to
light which will prove beyond a doubt that the United States had
emissaries in Nova Scotia in 1888 who were paid for their services in
Yankee gold.

CHAPTER IX.

PAUL GUIDON.

It will be remembered that the Godfreys, accompanied by their faithful
friend Paul Guidon, arrived at Halifax in the "Viper." Paul remained
twelve days with his friend, and then a vessel being about to sail for
Quebec, Commander Greaves secured him a passage in her.

But the farewell almost broke the heart of the noble Iroquois, and he
wept many bitter tears. Margaret Godfrey was aware of Paul's desire to
gain possession of the old service book, she knew he had longed for it
since the day of his mother's burial, and on bidding him adieu she
presented him with the book, saying as she did so, "Paul keep this book,
it is from your friend, no doubt you will sometimes be able to get some
one to read to you useful lessons from its pages."

Paul Guidon had frequently told Mrs. Godfrey that he felt a sort of
charm come
