Agent in Madras (India) fr the East India Conpany. His extraordinarily adveturous life is depicted in verse and sculpture on his memorial. - 'Alone, unarme'd, a Tygre he opprest / And crushed to death the Monster of a Beast / Thrice-twenty mounted Moors he overthrew / Singly on foot, some wounded, some he slew, / Dispers'd the rest; what more could Samson do?'What, indeed?
