messed the mission on which Manuel

guessed the mission on which Manuel
had gone into Port Louis and suspect
ed that he had told me the result, scam
ned my face carefully and questioned
me as to my having found any elucida-
ton of the matter. But | studiously
concealed my knowledge aud gave the
paper back to Manuel, telling him not
TO put too much faith in information
obtained in such manner, though If
had any suspicious in the matter they
certainly pointed in the same direction.
Manuel's, / may say, had till now gone
wide of the mark.
The molestaticn, after this, ceased for
some time or occurred at rare intervals,
but the poor man had become so I'M
neryed from terror that he neglected
his work and finally got his dismissal.
had returned to Europe before this
happened. but on leaving begged my
sister to keep me informed about the
supernatural affairs / left behind, and
she wrote and told me that his perse-
cutor followed him to his next situa-
ton, harassed him for some time, and
then disappeared.
In talking over the matter with an
Englishw oman who bad spent nearly
the whole Of long life in the island,
she said: alt is most extraordinary
thing, but worse cases than this have
come under my own notice. A young
girl whom | knew came out from Eng.
land here as a dress-maker. A creole
youth fell in love with her an
asked her to marry him. She re-
jected him, and mad with rage he
resolved to compass her death. Whe-
Their by herself or watched by careful
friends, this poor young thing woke in
the morning, her arms and body pinch
ed, the blue marks visible on her ten
der flesh, her hair cut off close to her
head, her food snatched from her, nee
dies passed through her eyelids and
tongue, and she pined and died under
the ceaseless and mysterious powers
ranged against her."
neither affirm nor deny the tale. |
merely tell it as it was told to me by
an Englishv oman whose veracity |
never had any occasion to doubt. An
other person told me that on the island
there resided a very evil man, Mozam-
bique, who possessed some power sup
posed to be allied to sorcery OF witch
craft, whose aid was frequently invoked
to bring disaster or death on their enc
mics by revengeful persons.
The stonc-throwlng may lave been-l
suppose must have been-sleight-of-
hand performed by some one, but it
was very extraordinary that the dis
coyery of the perpetrator, or the means
by which he accomplished his deeds,
should have eluded the careful watch
of my brother, his cousins, myself-a
most interested spectator-three po-
licemen, and many other persons.
