Captain John, Juan, or Jack. I transfer this mention of him from my note-book here, solely because I have a long story to tell of him, further on.

I have seen something of insane persons, and a good deal more of religious enthusiasts ; but a red Indian crazy upon religion, is the hardest character to understand I can conceive of. The belief of some of these characters in their most ridiculous fancies is absolute.
