John Thomas, or Nauainte, a blind pauper, whilst attempting to get in a pirogue to
cross Indian 
Bayou, near the Indian Village, fell in the water and was drowned. A young girl, his
daughter, was in 
the pirogue and her cries, combined with those of the drowning man, brought several
persons to the 
scene, but too late to give any assistance, as poor John had already sunk to rise no
more. He had 
for many years been blind and was provided for by the parish and his friends.
