Ell, put which the vlgllant precautions ct i,mors h"t
rendered impracticable.
The time which they awaited with 50 much anxiety
at last came. There was a sound of voices in the outer
apartment-tlc blocks of stone which closed the com
munlcation between them were removed, aud liamorS,
accompanied by some of his happy and hardy noun
taineers, entered the dungeon. Their joy ut meeting
was mutual, for the unwavering faithtulness OF Hamors
had endeared him to both Everineton and Corolinn.
'We!avc outwittcd the tyrant this time sad liamors
exultlnsly after every eXclti"n which power or IN
senuity could devise, he has been completely baiiled.
The mystery ii your escape he has never been able TO
unravel-the largest rewards have proved intellectual to
discover your retreat, and The pursuit has been given
over as hopeless. Gree again on the lietzordera, and
We are safe.
Preparations were Immediately commenced fer a re-
moval from the retreat which had SO long ailor led them
security and shelter.
Soon they emerged from the :uhterranean weil-like
opening, into the upper air and never with such feel
Jugs OF emotion had Evorington and Corolmn by held the
bright stars as they rolled altAi" through the heavens
over spotlcss azure-.azcd on the silver tips OF Diana S
crescent, as it sunk behind the mountains-breathe the
pure air which was filled with the Incense OF numberless
tlowers-or listened to the hum which animated nature
sends forth, even in its most quiet and secluded retreats.
llalnors led the way through The ruins, and when they
emerged from them into the plain, they found themselves
at once in the midst of a dozen Of the mountaineefs,
who, with high spirited steels; ready inr them TO mount,
awaited their arrival. Not il moment was lest in con

mounted on a beautiful Arabian, and Evclington felt as
If he had commenced a new existence, when he found
himself by her side, and rapidly leaving the c%rumbling
fragments of ancient Persian greatness far behind them.
Long before morning they found themselves among
the hills, which marked the commencement Of the noun
famous region; and when day dawned, they were safe
from pursuit amidst its deep and inaccessible Businesses
and defles. They had left Schiras and the domains Of
Abbas Mira forever; and the brave and h~ospitable chill
dren of the mountains welcomed them with patriarchal
simplicity and affection to their rude mansions. Not
withstanding the afcctionatc kindness of Evcrington, it
was impossible for Corolinn at once to break, without
emotions Of regret, the strong ties of affection which
bound her to her father and when she remembered
that she had deserted home and friends for a stranger,
she felt that she was encountcring a fearful hazard and
dear as Everington was to her, he sometimes caught the
tear swelling in her dark eye, as these recollections came
over her young and innocent bosom.
Skilled in reading the heart, Everington at once per-
ceived the source OF her regrets, and sympathizing with
her grief, he kissed away her tears, and banished her
fears by assurances of never failing love and protection.
Among the kind inhabitants Of the mountain, Evering-
ton thought it prudent to remain but a short time for
though the country to the west of the lIetzerdera scarce
ly owned allegiance to the Persian crown, and the brave
Kurds still maintained a tacit independence, yet his fears,
added to the counsel of Hamors, induced him to place
himself and his beautiful Corolinn, as soon as possible,
beyond the reach Of Abbas Mira.
As soon, therefore, as Eyerington found himself com
pletely restored, Disgusting themselves as much as posi-,
bic, with Hamors as their servant, he and the fair Coro-
linn, accompanied by several Of the natives of the noun
tains, proceeded by the circuitous route of the Tigris and
Bagdad, to Bussorah where they arrived without mo-
lestation, and in safety. Here Everington found him
self in possession of funds, with which he compensated
his kind companions from the Hetzerdera to the extent
of their wishes, and laden with every expression of his
and Coroilnn's gratitude, saw them depart for their ma
tive homes. At Bussorah, he found the chaplain of the
English establishment at the English Gulf of Persia,
and was united by the tenderest of ties to the blushing
and beautiful girl, who had consented to unite her for
tunes with his. A vessel was on the point of sailing for
India, where they arrived, and embracing the favorable
moment, and waited by the ~propitious monsoon, Ever
ington and Corolinn soon found themselves at Bombay,
where the flag of Britain assured hin of protection.
After residing at Bombay for three years he was called
to Calcutta; and as his intimate acquaintance with the
Persian language, added to his knowledge of Indian af-
fairs, rendered him a proper person to receive such an
appointment, on the recommendation of several officers
OF the government, he was appointed by the Marquis of
Wellesley, then Governor General of India, to the gov
eminent of Agra, a port Of great Importance on the up
per Ganges, whittier he immediately repaired, accom-.
panied by his admired and lovely bride.
