CHAPTER II.

Twas on one beautiful evening, just af-
ter old Sol had bowed his exit to this mum
dane sphere, away on the northern coast in
Casco Bay, stood two men. The spotthey
occupied commanded particularly fine
view, and was then called Spear Point,
from its resemblance to the head of that
weapon--only some six or seven miles be-
low the thriving town of Portland. The
men differed in looks, years, dress and near.
ly every thing else. The elder was about
twenty-five years, six feet high, with shoul
ders broad though slightly bent, long mus
cular arms, longer legs, muscles well de
veloped, an honest, shrewd, good humorec
face. This person was clad in loose blu
shirt Of coarse texture, with pantaloons Gu
loose aud flowing, Of the same material
held around him by large black leather
belt, from which pceped brace of pistols
