Toes and then foY my amuse nent-- mao
music-but j, was the music OF damned spirits-the
bowls and execratons Of the furlous-the laugh
and shrek Of the idiot-hese were the only souhds
to which listened by day and by night, I'LL my
beard had grown to my Chin snd the nails OF my
fingers were like the ,alons Of an eagle

that my wife died from accidentally falling upon tn.
fender, and hat my grief for her decease TUNED my
brain. Poor fools, they knew not that It was who
killed her.
My affairs had, during the period of my con.
hnement, in some degree recovered themselves !;
bur was still an embarrassed man. To help me
out Of my endorsements, an appointment In India
was procured for me. There have spent The last
ten years, and with the mode OF my return you arc
acquainted
Thus ended a tale as wild and extravagant as any
which ever perused The impression lett upon
my own mind was, that the poor gentleman labored
under a arrangement Of intellect when he complied
it. believe il is no uncommon mstter for insane
persons to fancy themselves stained with thousand
crimes which they never perpetrated, and The vic
inns OF thousand evils which they never endured
and am strongly disposed to hold that opinion in
che case OF my shpwrecked guest.
