W an; r'that hour willbe thylast."
81 Taking no notice Of the parents, he
ebihted to the still senseless body of his
}lctim, and commanded his men to take
" 5iai their arms, (atthe same time throw
Dill cloak over IT'D to the boats.
Then placing himself at their head, he
ned The same path BY which he
aEithin short distance of
the spot where the unfortunate senri.
nell was slain. Ordering halt, he
crept cautiously TO the place, and
found to his terror's double guard sta
toned at the post. Instantly retreating,
he commanded the men 10 follow him,
when turning in another direction. in a
short time they came to where they
landed, and gave the required signal
for the boats. But even here his dark
career was well nigh terminated. Just
as the signal was given, wild, nn-
earthly shrek broke upon the Stiffness
of that night. Attracted by the sound,
the guard hastened to the spot from
whence it proceeded, and arrived too
late, for the pirate captain had just
given the order, "Lay to your oars,
my men," and the boats shot out into
the Bay. The guard sent volley af-
ter them, but it did them no injury, ow-
ing ID the darkness Of the night. Ii
was but a short time before the boats
were along side the brig, and the fair
prisoner ushered into the inner cabin,
fitted up in the most luxuriant manncr.
Orders were Immediately given to
hoist anchor and spread the sails "lor
the rising sun must see me out upon
the Atlantic's broad bosom" exclaimed
the pirate captain. NJ
