twigs Within his reacb,--but each was sue
cessively wrenched from, or broken in, his
grasp, by the persevering efforts Of the un-
relcnting Suliote. The face of the chief
was pale, and contracted by the spasms of
approaching dissolution, yet his iron clench
relaxed not, his energies were concentrated,
every rigid muscle, stifened sinew, braced
for one expiring act of signal vengeance
Slowly but surely, avenger and victim adj
vanced toward the fatal verge. Coral i'm
plored, blasphemed, and made the mostire-
mendous plunges; but supplications and
struggles were alike useless. Still the chief
glided with his burden toward the terrific
gule-the tardiness of the approach to des-
truction adding infinitely to its horrors. Al
length the head OF the Cspitano swung ovei
the cliff, and the shrinking and affrighted
wretch, now almost delirious with terror
could see as he lay with his face downward
the awful vastness of the dim chasm into
which he was about to be plunged, and heal
the hoarse murmurs Of the river thousand
feet below! AT this moment, as his dilated
eyes rolled wildly around in search Of some
stay, however fragile, he observed some
thing hanging from the edGa -af the re5eL.a eek.
