He left Paisley on foot, and at Port Patrick took passage for Belfast. On his arrival he found the ship full. Undaunted, however, and determined not to return to Scotland, he consented to sleep upon deck, and accordingly embarked in the ship Swift, of New York, bound to Philadelphia, and landed at New- castle, Delaware, July 14, 1794, in the 28th year of his age. He had but a few shillings in his pocket, but he was buoyant with hope ; he had actually set foot upon the new world, and shouldering... his fowling- piece, he directed his steps towards Philadelphia, dis- tant about thirty-three miles. On his way, he shot a red-headed woodpecker, which he thought " the most beautiful bird he had ever beheld. " For some time after his arrival in America, he seems to have doubted to what employment he should devote himself. We find him within a year engaged as a copper-plate printer ; then as a weaver ; then moving to Shepherdstown, Virginia, and soon retui'n- ing to Pennsylvania ; then travelling in New Jersey, as a pedler ; then opening a school, near Frankford, Pennsylvania ; and soon removing to Milestown, where he remained for several years, both teaching and making himself master of those branches of learn- ing with which he was not before acquainted 90 ALEXANDER WILSON.
