wood*. not daring to venture tn (he

remaim'd to me wa* tnv ride and a
few round* of ammunition.
One day. after wandering until
weary. 1 *at down on the ground to
rent amt lean my back again*! a tree.
In order that my rifle might not tie

cu.cm to place It Itetween my bach

up. in not the .oollte.t language.
Ala*, they had found me out. and 1
had nothing to look forward to now
but brutal treatment, an Ignomlnlou
Imprisonment of short duration and
then death. I wa* immeuiatdy hand
cuffed and taken to the fortress
prison of Morro . Castle. 1 was
not permitted to walk In t
ordinal y way. but my hands were
tiA UP close to the tail of a restive
horse, from which 1 had several kicks
during this Journey of some miles. On
arriving at the fortress my feet were
chained together and locked. I was
led to an Inner room which had the
appearance of a dungeon and was
made to sit on a wooden bench that
was placed against the wall. Another
chain, which was fastened to a staple
I the wall, w-as passed around my
chest and locked to a staple on the
other side. Thus my hands, feet and
bodv were all securely chained. I was
Itept In this position, without relaxa
tion night or day. As soon as my
capture was lenown at headquarters,
a day was promptly named for me to
be taken out and shot.
I was informed that my execution
was to take place In a few days.
There seemed to be no hope. A few
more miserable days of existence
awaited me, and then death. What
could I do? No one that knew me had
beard of my capture, and it might re
sult in the Imprisonment or death of
anyone who was known to make an es-

be executed In a few day*, a fund wa*
raised whereby to make *n effort tn
some way to raseure me. The sum of
|14.000 was promised to a man who
wa* selected a* being the most suit
able to undertake the matter.
I was informed at first that my case
had excited much Interest, and that
all that wa. po»slb!e would be done to
save me. But no active steps could
l,e taken until the evening of the day
| preceding that of the Intended exeeu
|tlon.
But' who can tell the agony of the
j suspense of those days? What was in
tended to be done, I knew not. I had
! nr, choice but to wait day ?*y day In
dread and fear, which was mingled
with only one ray of hope. I was cer-
I tain that every sunset brought me
twenty-four bouts nearer to the time
set for my being taken out to be shot.
Chained as I was hand and foot, while
a third chain secured me to the wall,
under the constant guard of soldiers,
confined In the Innermost precincts of
my enemy's stronghold—of an enemy,
moreover, that had completely van
quished the cause which I had es
poused-why did I cherish a hope of
escape? Was It not better for me to
make up mind to accept my sad
fate quietly and meet death as calmly
as I could? One thing I should gain
thereby, which was that my mind
would be rid of the terrible alterna
tives or hope and despair. The sus
pense that the uncertainty kept me In
was worse than the certainty of my
impending fate.
While being thus kept in the balance
between life and death, I received a
letter which unfolded to me the plan
which had 1 “cn formed for an attempt
to rescure me.
It told me that on the evening of the
day before that on which I was to be
shot, the messenger would bring me
two cakes in no way differing in ap-
P'a ranee from those which could be
purchased at a pastry cooil's shop. In
one of these I should find a small dag
ger. and In th® ether a silk cord whith
w-as strong enough to bear mjr weight
Accompany the cakes ther# would
be also two bottles of wine, one of
Which would be heavily drugged, while

f'p to thl* moment I had accomplish

my programme. I immediately got

the quickest time poanlbls, draaasd my
self tn the uniform of on* of the .old
lera. and went out nf my dungeon to
ward the lieat of the first sentry I had
:to pass. I shouldered the musket of
the man t had killed, and then wore
! the hi pi-aranee of a sentinel. 1 had
■ barely got Inside the first door, when
'an officer came along. 1 challenged
him mice: "Who pm there?" Tie
|anawered by giving me the pass-word,
ill* then passed on without suspecting
i that anything was wrong.
I now reconnoitred as well as I
could. In the darkness of the night,
and after a short time made out the
three cannons, at which point 1 was j
Instructed to let myself down to
boat. But what was my dismav wher j
I discovered that there were two or
three soldiers sitting near by the j
spot, apparently having a chat. I de- .
elded that I had better make my way |
to the opposite corner of the battery.
I passed the next gentry without tro
uble. on giving the pass-word. But I
had now n terrible alternative. One
was to Ivt myself down Into the water,
anil be probably devout ed by the
sharks, and th" either was to give my
self up to be shot on the morrow ac
cording to mv sentence. I decided
that I would take tny chance with the
sharks. 1 began to lower myself by
the silk cord, but before I had even
reached the water, oh. horror! I felt
a shark laying hold or my leg. So I
thought, but In a moment I was un
decelved. It was the boat-hook of
my rescurers. They had sr*en mv
white trousers against the wail as I
lowered myself, and had made for the
spot so noiselessly that I had not
heard them. They caught hold of me
and received me Into the boat, and
off we went as quietly as possible.
But what a revulsion In my feelings—
instead of going Into the mouth of the
shark, to be received Into the friendly
boat! They rannot he described, and
hardly imagined.
My rescurers placed me on board a
schooner in the harbor. An agree
ment had been made with the captain
to pay him *2OOO for rescuring me.
The next morning th-re was a great,
hue and cry at the battery when theV
found that their prisoner had escaped.
Orders were given that n" ship was to
