Immediately a small boat was manned and came up to the corpse, which was taken to the opposite shore. On examination, it proved to be the body of an individual, who, it is supposed, had drowned himself at Fort Madison, about eight or ten days ago. The name we did not ascertain, but understood he was a baker by trade. The conduct of the officers on board the "Sarah Ann" was praise worthy and humane, [humane], and such as must entitle them to respect.
