. On the sixth day, we saw the blessed
sufshine on thesground before us, aoncs
more. Prisoners as we were, there " a.
a Reiing of freedom, on stepping int
the light again, land unlocking alp, with
kout interruption, into the clear blue
Heaven, from which no hurfian creaturs
when Che time comes for rising to it. -
a tprn in the path brought.sas out sud
denly at an Indian village---a wretchet
place, made up of two rows of huts
built with poles, the crevices. betweeI
them stopped with mud, and the roof
matched in the coarsest manner witt
lpaim4eaves. The savages squattel
about, jumped to their feet in terror a.
we came in view; but, seeing the In
diahs at the head of our party, tool

| rng,.just ike the parrots we had left il
the forest. Our guides answered il
their ssgibberish !; some lean, halfwilc
dogs yelped and howled incessantly
| and the Pirates discharged their mus
kets and loaded them again, to max,
sure that their powder had not got damn
on the march. No want of musket
among. them now? The noise and the
confusion, after the silence, darkness
and discipline that we had been used t
for the last five days, so bewildered Ii,
all, that it was quite relief to sfTe do wi
on the ground and let the guard aben
US shut out our view on every side.
Davis! Are we at the end of the
march? says Miss Maryon, touching my
arm. at ni8 ID. aas :
The other women looked anxiously
at me, as she put the question / go
on my feet, and saw the Pirate Captain
communicating with the Indians of the
village. His hands were making sign;
in the fUssy foreign way, all the time he
was speaking. Sometime s.. they point
ed away to where the forest began
again beyond us; and sometimes they
went up both together to his mouth, Us
if he was wishful of getting. a fresh
supply of the neeessaries of life r.
Z My eyes next turned towards the
mules. Nobody was employed in ulf-
packing the baggage; nobody went near
that bundle of axes which had weighed
on my mind so much already, and the
mystery of which still tormented me in
secret. came to the conclusion that
we were not yet at the end Of our Jour-
ney; communicated my opinion. to
Miss Maryon. She got up herself, with
my help, and looked about her.. and
made the remark, very justly, that all
the hutssin the village would not suffice
to hold us. 1.-THE same fine, | point
ed out to her that the mule which the
Pirate Captain. had ridden had been re-
lieved of his saddle, and was being led
away, at that moment, to patch Of
grass, behind one of the huts.'' ssar
That looksas if we were. not going

Thank Heaven if it be SO, for the

Maryon. Davis. suppose something
happened which gave us a chance Of
escaping? Do you think we could ever
find our way back to the sea?'' aa
Not hope of getting back, miss
If the Pirates were to let us go this
very instant, those painless forests would
keep-us in prison forever.
TOO true! Too tIuep she said, and

In another halfhour We were rouse
up, and marched away from the village

the forest again. This time,s though
there was by nomeans so much cutting
through the underwood needed as in
our previous experience, we were .ac-
companied by at least dozen indians,
who seemed to me to be following us
out out Of sheer idleness and curiosity.
We had walked, as well as / could cal
