* It was on his lot, near McCobb's Narrows, we believe, that, when first taken possession of, there was found what has always been called the " Old Cellar," but which, from recent examination, made by Mr. I. S. Burton, appears to have claims to much greater interest than is usually attached to that class of ruins. The first huts of the settlers here, were usually without cellars, or, at most, with only a slight, unwalled, excavation, en- tered by a trap door in the middle of the room But this was a deep and capacious structure, 40 feet in length. and at this day not less than 9 feet in depth; well walled. when first discovered, with hewn timber, since crumbled to dust ; and situated on a point projecting into the river, with a cove on one side, to which a subterranean passage, with similar walls and depth. led from the main structure. What was its design, and by whom it was built. whether by carly French traders, or as a retreat for pirates frequenting the coast, remains uncertain.
