overhead and out Of their reach, and they
were now crying Justify for help, to save
themselves from being roas ed alive. When
help came in the person Of the jailor they
were clamorous to be let out, alleging that
they should die. Mr.. Eldrilge thought he
would let them die few minutes, while he

small quantities through the diamond in III,
door, let the incendiaries put out their owr
fire which they were not slow in doing. Their,
