1t will be difficult to convince readers
that such times as are herein depicted
could ever have been reality, I shall
endeavor to narrate each incident in
the simplest manner possible. MY
only purpose is truth, and my only
witness history. Yet, even now lately

alone combine to bring back in vivid
ness those days that were-days of
youth and daring, of desperate, law

outstretched hands of love. SO that

sentenced to exile, to prolonged servi-
tude in some foreign land, was oil that
any of us knew.
The guards prodded the crowd saw
agely with the butts of their mus
ketoons, thus making scant room for
us to shuttle through, out upon the far
end Of the wharf, where we were
