CHAPTER v.


The day OF the rendezvous had come, and
though The night was beautiful and bright, a
long line Of fires. extending from the highway
| by which the camp was bounded on any side
towards the swamp, which was it boundary,
on the other cleaned brightly upon as motley
a throng as were ever called upon 10 take up
arms in the wars of a christian king. On the
east, scarce fourth of mile distant from
the highway which bounded the camp on the
west, frowned dense mass Of S0mbre cypreS-
Ses, marking out the position OF Black River
swamp; and towards the south at much
greater distance, long line OF magnificent
trees, stretching their branch limbs to heaven,
marked the course Of Tarcote-a lesser stream
that emptied into the swamp.
The spot which the tories had fixed upon
for their gathering, was an open old field,
with only here and there a solitary Tree, that
long years ago the axe had spared.
Piles of logs had been heaped up, with an
intervening space between each heap of per
haps fifty or sixty yards, and these constructed
in line from the highway of which we have
above spoken, to within one hundred yards OF
the margin of the swamp, had been fred about
twilight.
Near the margin Of dense and bushy mo-
rass, few score PAGES 10 the south Of this
line, was ia be seen another group Of fires,
where smoking polssent upa savory steam tel
ling Of the ample feast that practised hancs
were preparing for the assembled crowc.
Around the piles OF logs that were now bla-
| zDg brightly upon the scene, were gathered
groups Of individuals Of as many varieties as
one might meet in summers day. Nlomen-
larily, too, there were fresh accessions 10 the
number of the tories. From allsdes was heard
the .rampling Of horses and the hum of voices
as they came gathering. 10 the place ofEendez.
