Left early in life an orphan, he received from a nobleminded friend of his deceased father, the tenderness of a parent, united with the services of the warmest patronage. From his nautical skill in the line he was engaged in, his intellectual endowments, and his spirited conduct under emergencies, there can be little doubt that if he had pursued his fortune in the British navy, he might have arisen to the first honours of the profession; but his fate ordained him to acquire independence in another way, and he used the advantages of it upon occasions, when his charity or his friendship were called upon, with unbounded liberality. He bore a long and severe illness with patience and fortitude, supporting himself under the most acute sufferings with a resignation and submission to the divine dispensations, that were truly exemplary. He was constantly attended with affectionate solicitude by one or other of his friends; and, although he had not one near family connection, he was never left a day without some valuable character about him among those who regarded him. On his side, no sickness or suffering made him ever unmindful of that accommodation he felt due to those who attended him, and which had marked his character through life. He constantly preserved through his illness the sentiments of liberality, generosity, gratitude, and feeling, which had particularly distinguished his dawn of life, and seemed to beam forth with increased fervour to the very close of his existence. 17.
