Thin gave me to understand that they bad consider
ed that a continued roll of musketry mig-d perhaps
have been heard on the mainland, also, that for toe
reason that fire would be eeen from the mainland
they would not set tbe K- rt in flam’s and roaet us
rying on. I locked about for • brianan George
King, and i’ I bad scon him J am rnoeh mistaken H
be would not have received my cm round of ball
cartridge in his bead, But, no Christian George
King was visible.
A sort of a wild Portuguere demon, who seemed
either to bo fierce-mad or fierce-drunk—but, they ali
boomed one or the other—came forward with the
black flag, anti gave it awa\e or two. After that,
the Portuguese captain celled cut in shrill English,
• I **y you! English fools! Open the gate! Surren
der 1”
AH we kept close arid quiet, he rid something to
us men which 1 didn’t uimrsinod, end when he
had said it, tbe one-eyed i ngHsh rascal with the
patch (who had stepped out wh* :i he b*gnn) said it
again in English It was only this. ‘‘Boys tne j
black Hag, this is to be quick.y doLc Take all the
prisoners you can If they non * yield, kih tbs clill- J
dren to make them. Forward !” j ben they all came
on at the gate, and, in another hail-minute were
smashing and splitting it in.
We struck at. them through the gap- and shivers, j
and we dropped ti any or tht-in, too , but, their very
weight would have earned such agate, if they h;.d
been unarmed. I found Kt ijeunt Drooce at my
side, forming us six renwiiniag marines in lioe*i —
Tom Packer next tome—and ordering u so iall
back three paces, and, as they br-ike, to them
our one little volley at short distance. “Jbeu,”
bays he, “Receive them behind your breastwork
on the bayonet, and at least let every man of you
pin one of the cursed cockchafers through the
body.”
We checked them by our fire, plight as it was,
and we checked them at the breastwork. However,
th?y broke over it likeHwarms of devils—they were
really and truly, more devl than men—and then it
wa* hand to hand, indeed.
We clubbed our inu k -Is an-l lftid about u?, even
then, those two ladies—always behind rr.c—were
steady and ready wiih the arms. J had a lot of
Malic-'* and Malays upon me, and but for h broad
hword that Mi Maryon - own ii nd pnt in mine,
should have got my end from them. But wii3 that
all > No. 1 saw a heap of b tided dark hair and a
white dress come thii'-e betwe* n me and them, un
der rny owe rained right arm, which each time
might have destroyed tho wearer of the white
dress; and each time one of she lot went down,
struck dead.
Drooce was armed v, if h a broadsword, too, and
did such th < with it, find there was a cry, in
half-a dozen langusgo, of ‘’Kill that forjeant!’ as
I know by thr; ciy l mg raided in Knigli- , and ta
hen up in other tongues I had received a severe
4*tit aero.-’ - tl:; !cf arm rt few iiioments before, and
should have known nothing of it, except rupnoaing
I hat somebody had struck me a> J in-.rt blow, if I ha
not f-lt weak, aud Been mysell Covered with pp-m
ing blood, and, at the same time, :seeu Miss Maryon
tearing her drens, and binding it. with Mrs. Fisher's
help, round the wound. They culled to Tom Puck
er, who was scouring by, to r.top and guard me
01 ouo minute, while 1 was bound, or 1 should
jleed to death in trying to ande r end myself. Tom
stooped directly, with ft good sabre in his hand.
In that same moment—all things seem to happen
.11 that same moment, at such u time— bali-a-dozen
had rushed howling at Serjs&ut Drooco. The Ser
jeant , stepping back against the wall, stopped one
howl for ever with such a terrible blow, and wait
* and for the rest to come on, with such a wonderful
unmoved luce, that they stopped and looked at
him.
.See him now'.” cried Tom Packer. “Now,
when l could put him out! Gill! Did 1 tell you to
mark uiy works?”
1 implored Tom Packer iu the Ford's name, cs
well as 1 could in my faintne?.-', to go to the Ser
jeant's aid.
“I hate and deteet him,’* says Tom, moedr.y wa
vering. “Still, lie is a brave mar ” Teen he cn'ls
out, *'Serjeant Drove; l , Serjeant D/occe! Tell me
you have driven me too hard, aud are sorry lor it.”
The Serjeant, without turning his eyes f-om his
assailants, which would have been instant death to
him, answered: —
“No. 1 won’t.”
“Serjeant Drooct!’ cries Tom iu & kind of
agony, “1 have paesod my word that 1 would never
save you from death, il i could, but would leave
you to die Tell iru you have driven mo too hard
and are sorry for it, and that -hall p* for nothing.”
One of the group laid the S.’ij .ml . bald tare head
upeu. The Seije int i lid him a- -and.
“I tell you,” imy.ith * Serjeant, l>P*atLiug a litbo
shott, and waiting for tho next attack. /‘No. 1
won't. It you are not man nough to B*rike for a
fellow soldier because he wants la ip, and became
<f nothing else, I’ll go iedo ti: 1 other world find look
for a better man.”
Tom swept upon tin m, and cut him out. Tom
mid he fought their way through Another knot if
them, tend sent them Hying, hi ■ t trover to where
I wa b-ginning again to fee l, with inexprenrible
joy, that 1 had got a sword in niy h *nd.
i hey ha<l hardly c onn? to i:e, wht n I ! • aril above
iill the other noises, a tremendous cry of women's
voices. I also saw Mh 1 Maryou, with qu 1 u new
face, suddenly clap her two hands over Mrs. Fish
er’s eyes. i 100 lied towards tho silver-house, and
saw Mrs. Veuuiug frtmidir £ urpright on tiio top
of the steps of the trench, with her gray hair ard
her dark t ye- --hide htr Unit;*! t r‘ child behind h r.
among the folds ol her dress, strike a pirate with
her other hand, and full, shot by a pistol.
The cry arose again, and there was a terrible and
contusing rush of the women into the mi i.-t ot the
struggle. In another moment, something came
tumbling down upon me that I thought was the
wall. It was a beep of Sambo* who had {vine oyer
the wall ; and of t'.mr m u who clung to :ny leg i like
Hcrpenls, one wuo c lung to my right leg was Chris
tian George King.
“ Vup, So Jeer!” says he, ‘ Christian George
King ear berry glad So-Jeer n priso: c-r Christian
George King been waiting for So-Jeer eeech long
time Vup, yup!”
\\ hat • uld l • > witli live aud twi nty of them on
me, but be tied band aud foot ? So, I was tied hand
and foot. It was ail over now—boats uot come
back —all lott! When 1 was fast bound and was
put up against the wall, the one-eyed English <• li
vid ( Hint’ up vi i h the Portuguese Captain, to have
a look at me.
“See’ - ’ says he, “Here's the do 1 ermine and man l
It you had slept sounder last night; you’d have
h , i\t your soundest 1.-t night, my determined
man.’*
The Portuguese Captain lauglu and in a cool way,
and, with the tint of ins cutlass, hit me crosswise, as
it I was the bough of a tree the* he played with
first on the face and then serosa the dies? aud the
wounded arm I looked him steady in the face
without trembling while he tucked at me, 1 am hap
py to say, but when they weut away, I fell, and
lay there.
Tbeeun was up, when I was aroused ard told to
cairn* down to the b-oh and be embark* and. I in. -
full of aches and pains, and could not at first re
member . but, I remembered quite s- n enough.—
The killed were King about all over the pla. e, and
the pirates were burying their dead, and faking
away their wounded on hastily made litters, to the
back of the island. As nr us pi ners, some ot
their boats had come round to the usual harbor, to
carry us off. We looked a wretched few. I thdfaght,
when 1 got down there stiil.it was another eigu
that we had fought wed, and maue the enemy sui
®r.
fU* Portuguese Captain had all the weroen al
ready embarked in the boat he himself commanded,
which was iust putting c. it w cn i got down Miss
Mar>on sat on cue side ot him, and gav* me a mo

I chief officer of the eioop V
j There was a momen’ary silence.
I Von don’t answer me,” said ti.e Pirate Captain.
“Now. i mean to be answered. Cook here women.”
He drew one of his four pistols out of his gray *car
o..; flip/, and walked up to Torn Packer, who bap
ened to be tandiDg nearest to him of tfce men pris
iis a pfct"l. and it is ioaded. I put tfce
bsrrel to the head of this man with my right hand,
and I take out my watch with my left, i wait five
minutes for an answer. 1:1 don’t get it in five
i man’s brains out. I wait five
minutes again, and if Id’ n't get an answer, I blow
the next man’s brains out. And so Igo on, if you
arc obstinate, and your nerves are strong, till not
one of your soldiers or your sailors is left. On my
word and honor, as a gentleman-buscanier, I pro-
mise you that. Ask my men if I ever broke my
word.”
He rested the barrel of tbe pistol against Tom
Pack* r's head, and loiked at his watch, as perfect
y compos and. in his cat like cruelty, as if he was
waiting for the boiling of an egg.
•'ll you think it best not to answer him, ladies,”
says Tom, “never mind ir.e. It's my trade to risk
my life ; and I shall lose it in a good cause.’’
‘A brave man,” said the Pirate Captain, lightly.
“Welh ladies, are you going to sacrifice Ihe brave
man TANARUS”
“\Vc are going to save him,” said Mias Maryon,
“as be has striven to save us I belong to: he Cap
tain of tbe sloop. I am his sister.” She stopped,
and whispered anxiousty to Mrs. Macey, who was
standing with her. “Don't acknowledge yourself,
a I have done—you have children.”
j “Good! ‘ said the Pirate Captain. “The answer
lis given, and the brains may stop in the brave mans
h- ail.’’ He put l.ia watch and pistol back, and took
two or three quick puffs at his cigar to keep it alight
—then handed the paper he had written on, and Lis
j penfull cf ink, to Mi .- Maryon.
i “Read that over,” hs said, “and sign it for your
self, and the wo i.en and children with you.’
h'ayii g this words, lie turned round briskly on
Ills ln e!, and began ticking, in a whisper, to Giant
Georgy, the Wg English mate. What be was talk
ing about, of course 1 could not hear; but I noticed
that he motioned several times straight into the
interior of tfce country.
“Davis,” said Mjss Maryon, look at this.”
She crossed before hei lister, as she spoke, and
held the paper which the Pirate Captain had given
to her, under.nyey**—ray bound arms not allowing
me to take it inyseit'. Never, to my dying day shall
I forget the shame I felt, when I was obliged to ae
knowledge to Miss Maryon that I could not read a
word of it'.
“There are better men than me, ma’am,” I said
with a sinking heart, “who can read it, and advise
you for the bfet.”(
“Non belter,” she answered quietly. “None,
whose advice 1 would so willingly take. I have
r •-i enough to fee! sure of that. Listen, Davis,
w! lie 1 read.”
Her pa'u face turned paler Btill ns she fixed her
eyes on the paper. Lowering her voice to a wfciß
ptr, so that the women and children near might not
bear, she read me these lines :
“To the Captains of English mtn-of war, and to
the commanders of vessels of othernations,cruising
iu Ihe Carribean Seas :
“The precious metaland thejewels laid up in the
English I-land of Silver Store, are iu the paseession
of tiie Buooaniers, at sea.
“The women *tid chidren of the Island of Silver-
Store, to the number of Twenty Two, are in the
possession of the Rucoanitis, on land.
“ t hey will bo taken np the country, with four
teen men prim mere (whose lives the liuccaniers
have private reasons ot their own for preserving,)
to r place of confinement, which is unapproacha
bis by strangers. They will be kept there until a
certain day, previou-dy agreed on between the
Bui caniers at sea, and the Buceanieia on land.
“If, by that time, no news from the party at sea,
reach) a the party on laud, it will be taken of grant
ed that tiie expedition which conveys away the sil
ver aud jewels has hsen met, engaged, and con
quered by superior fnree; that the treasure has
been tsken from the present owners; and that tLe
Buccaniers guardind l have been made prisoners,

“Tbe absence of the expected news at the ap

children of Ihe Islai <1 of Silver Store are absolutely
at their mercy ; and those lives will pay the forfeit,
if the treasure is taken away, aud if tho men iu pos
session of it come t o harm.
‘‘This paper will be nailed to the lid of the largest

“Beneath this lost line,” said Miss Maryon,point
ing (o it, “is a blm k space, in which 1 am expected
to sign my name.”
“Ai diu five minutes’ time,” added the l’irate
Captain, who had stolen close up to ns, “orthe same
<•oii-tquene.ee will follow which I had the pleasure
of explaining to you a few minutes ago.”
lie again drew out his watch and pistol ; but.
this time, it was my head that he touched wth ttie
barrel.
“When Tom Packer spoke for himself, Miss, a
little while ago,” I said, “please to consider that he
spoke for me.
“Another brave man!’ said the Pirate Captain,
with his ape's grin. “Am I to tire my pistol
this time,or am Ito put it back again as I did be
Mi.-s Maryon did not seem to hear him. Her kind
t\*; rested for u moment on my face, and then lock
ed up to the bright heaven above us.
“Whether 1 tign cr whether I do not sign,” she
said, “we are still iu Ihe hands of Gad, and the fu
ture which bis wisdom has appointed will not the
less surely come.”
With these words she placed the paper on my
breanC signed it, and handed it back to the Pirate
Captain.
•This is our secret, Davis.she whispered. “Let
us keep the dreadful knowledge of it to ourselves
as long as we can.”
1 have another singular confession to make—l
hardly expect any body to believe me when I men
tion the creuraatanee —but it is cot the less the plain
truth that, even in the midst of that frightful situa
tion, I felt f.*r a few moments a sensation of happi
ness while Miss Maryt n’a hand was holding the pa
per on my breast, and while her lips were tellmg
me that there was a secret between us which we
were to keap together.
The Pirate Captain carried the signed paper at
once to hia mate.
“Go back to the Island,” he says, “and nail that
with your own hands on the lid of the largest chest.
There is no occasion to hurry the business of ship
ping the treasure, because there is nobody ou the
Island to make signals that may draw attention to
it from the sea. I have provided for that, ami I
have provided for the chance of your being out
mauu uvred afterwards by English or other cruisers.
Here are your sailing order*,’* (ho took them from
his pock* t while he spoke.) “ your directions for the
disposal of the treasure, and your appointment of the
day and the place tor communicating again with me
and my prisoners. 1 have done my part -. go you
now and do your*.’’
Hearing the clearness with which he gave his or
ders ; knowing what the devilish scheme was that he
had invented for preventing the recovery of the
treasure, even if our ships happened to meet a> and
capture the pirates a’ tea. remembering what the
look aud the speech of him had been, when be put
his pistol to my head and Tom Packer’s; 1 began to
ÜBtk-rsTax and how it was that this little, weak, w eaz
en. wicked spider bss got the first place and kept it
among the viiiians about him.
The mate moved ofi‘, with bis orders, towards the
sea Before he got there, the Pirate Captain beck
cued another of the crew to coma to him; aud
spoke a few words iu his own, or in some other lan
guage. 1 gueestd what they meant, when I saw
thiity of the pirates told < tT together, and set in a
circle all round us. The rest were marched away
after the r ... . In the same manner the Sambos
were divided next. Ten, ireluding Christian George

thougnt at the time that many a wiser man might
have given me !s sensible advice than this, though
it was only offered by boatswain’s mate.
A movement among the Pirates attracted my no
tice to the beach below us, and I saw their Captain j
approaching our halting-place, having charged his j
1 fine clothes for garment* that were fit to travel in. !
His coming back to us had the effect of producing i
! unmistakable signs of preparation for a long jour
nfy Shortly after he appeared, three Indians came
up', leading three loaded mures . and these were fol
td, in a few minutes, by two of the Sambos, ca -
rying between ihem a copper foil of smoking meat
aid broth. After having been shared among the
Pirates, this ureas wai- set down before us. with some i
, wooden bowit floating about in it, to dip put the |
! food with. Seeing that ws hesitated before touch- i
ing it. tin. Pirate Captain recommended us not to be j
, too. mealy-mouthed, as that was meat from our own
j stores on the Inland, and the last we were likely to
! taste for a long time to come. The sailors, witaout
; any more ado about it. professed their readiness to
| follow this advice, mut'ering among them; !ves
j that good meat was a good thing, though the :e\ !
! himself had cooked it. The Pirate Captain, then
j observing that we were all ready to accept the ‘ i,
j ordered the bonds tbet confined the hands of us neu
to be loosened aud cast off, so that we might m’ >
ourselves. After we had served the women ami
children, we fell to. It was a good meal—though I
can't say that I myself had much appetite for it
Jack, to use bis own phrase, stowed away a double
allowance. The jolly faces of the seamen lengthen
ed a good deal, however, when they found there
was nothing to drink afterward but plain water.—
One of rhem, a fat man, named Short, went so far
as to say that, in the inru things seemed to have ta
ken, he should like to make his wd before he start
ed, as the stoppage of bis grog and the stoppage of
his life, were ‘wo events that would occur uncom
monly close together.
When we had done, we were all ordered to stand
up. The pirates approached me and the other men,
to bind our arms again; tut the Captain stopped
them.
“ No,” says he. “ I want them to get on at a
good pace; and they will do that best with their
arms free. Now, priaoneis,” he continued, address
ing us, “Id n’t mean to have any lagging on the
road. I have fed you up with good meat, and you
have no excuse for not stepping out briskly—wo
men, children, aud all. You men are without wea
pons and without food, and you know nothing of
tbe country you are going to travel through. If you
are mad enuugh in this hopeless condition to at
tempt escaping on the march, you will be shot, as
sure as you all stand there—and if the bullet misses,
you will s’arve to death in the forests that huve no
paths and no end.”
Having addressed us in these wordj, he turned
again to his men. I wondered then, as 1 had won
dered once or twice already, what these private
reasons might be, which he had mentioned in hia
written paper, for sparine the lives of us male pri
soners. I hoped he would refer to them now—but
I wa3 disappointed.
“While the couniry allows it,” he went on, ad
dressing his cre.v, “march in a square aud keep the
prisoners inside. Whether it is man. woman, or
child, shoot any of them who tries to escape, on peril
of being shot yourselves if you miss. Put the In
dians and mules in front, and the Sambos next to
them. Draw up the prisoners all together. Tell
off’ seven men to march before them, and seven
mo; e lor each side ; end leave the yt her for the rear
guard. Ai’ .urth mule for me, when I get tired, and
another Indian to carry my guitar.”
His guitar! To think of the murderous Uriel
having a turn for strumming tunes, and wanti g to
cultivate it on such an expedition as ours 1 1 could
hardly believe my eyes when I saw Ihe guitar
brought forward in a neat green case, with the pi
ratical skull and i rosß-bones and the Pirate Cap
tain’s initials painted on it in white.
“I can stand a good deal,” whispers Tom Packer
to me, looking hard at the guitar ; “but confound
me, Davis, if it’s not a trifle too much to be taken
prisoner by such a fellow as that!”
The Pirate Captain lights another cigar.—
“March!” says be, with a screech like a cat, and a
flourish with his sword of ihe sort that a stage
player would give at the head of a mock army.
We all moved off, leaving the clump of trees to
the right, going, we knew not whither, to unknown
Bufferings ana an unknown fate. Tbe laud that lay
before us was wild and open, without fences or hab
itations. Here and there cattle wandered about
over it and a few stray Indians. Beyond, in tiie
di tauce, as far as we could see, rose a prospect of
mountains and tor<;-ts. Above us was the pitiless
sun. in a sky that was too brightly blue to look at.
Behind us was the calm murmuring ocean, with the
dear island home which the women and children
had lost, rising iu the distance like a little green gar
den on the bosom ot the sea. Alter half an houi's
walking we began to descend into the plain, and
the last glimpse of the leLud of Silver Store disap
peared Irom our v ew.
The order of march which we prisoners now main
tained among ourselves, being the order which,
’ with certain occasional variations, we observed far
the next three days, 1 may as well give some de
scription of it in this place, before l get occupied
witu other things, and forget it.
I myself, aud tiie sailor I have mentioned under
the name of Short, led the march. After us came
Miss Maryon, aud Mrs. and Mrs. Macey. They were
followed by two of my comrades of the Marines
with Mrs. Pordoge, Mr. Belltotl and two of the
strongest of the ladies to look after them. Mr. Fish
er, the Bhip’s boy, and Hie three remaining men of
Ihe sloop's crew, with the <vst of the women and
children came next; Tom Packer taking care of
Seijeaut Drooee, brought up the rear. So loug as
we got on ouiekly enough, the pirate showed no
disposition to interfere with our order ot march; but
if there were any signs of iaggmg—and God knows
it was hard enough work for a man to walk under
tb burning sun ! —the villains theatened the
weakest of our company with the puinis of the
swords. The younger among the cbildern gave
out, as might have bean expected, poor things, very
eariy on the march. Short and I set the example of
taking two cf their, up, pick-a-back, which war fol
lowed directly by the rest of the men. Two of Mrs.
Macey’s three children fell to our share: the eldest
travel ug behind us, on his lather's back. Short
hoisted tbe next in age, a girl, on his broad shoul
ders. 1 see him now, as if it was yesterday, wifb
ihe pel spiral ion pouring down Lis fat face and
busby whiskers, rolling along aa if he was on the
deck of a ship, aod making a sling of his neck-hand
kerchief, with liiß clever sailor’s fingers to euppt,
Ihe little girl on hia bark
“I expect you’ll marry me, my darling, when vott
grow up,” says he, iu his oily, joking voice. Ar.
the poor child, in her innocence, laid her weary
head down on his shoulders,and gravely and faith
fully prem’sed that she would.
A lighter weight fell to my share. 1 had the
youngest of the children, the pretty little boy already
mentioned, who had been deaf and dumb from hia
birth. His mother's voica trembled sadly, as she
thanked me for taking him up, mid tenderly put
Ins htilc dress riglo while she walked behind me.
“He is very little and light of his age,’ says the
p r r lady, trying hard to speak steady. “He won’t
give you much trouble, Davis, lie ids always beem
a vety patient child from the first.” The boys
little trail arms clasped themselves round my Deck
while she was speaking ; aud something or other
seemed to stop in my tlnout the cheerful answer
that 1 wanted to make. I walked on with what
must have looked, 1 am afraid, like a gruff silence;
tbe poor child humming softly on my back, in his
unchanging, dumb way, till ha hummed himself to
sleep. Often aud often, sines hat time, in dreams
I have felt these small arniß round my neck again,
and have heard that dumb, murmtiring song in my
car, dying away fainter aud iaiuter, till nothing
was left but the light breath rising and falling re
gularly on roy check, telling me that iny little fel
low-prisoner had forgotten his troubles in sleep.
We marched, as well as I could guess, somewhers
about seven miles that day —a short spell enough,
judging by distance, but a terrible long one judg
ing by heat. Our halting place was by the backs
of a stream, acrors which, at a little distance, some
wild pigs were swimming as we came up. Beyond
us was the same view ol forests and mountains that
1 have already mentioned ; aud all round us was a
ptr ect wilderness of flowers. The shrubs, the
bushes, the ground, all blazed again with magnifi
cent colors, under the evening sua. When we were
ordered to halt, wherever we sat a child down,
there that child had laps and laps full of flowers
grow ing within reach of its hand. We set on flow
ets, eat on flowers, slept at night, on flowers—any
chance handful of which would have been well
worth a golden guinea among tiie gentlefolks iu
England. It was a sight not easily described, to
see niggers, savages, aud pirates, hideous, filthy,
and ferocious in the lasi degree to look at, squatting
about grimly upon a natural carpet of beauty, of
the sort that is painted in pictures with pretty fai-
ries dancing on it.
The make were unk>atb*d, and left to roll amorg
the flowers to their heart’s content. A neat tent
was set up for the Pirate Captain, at the door of
which, after eating a good meal, he laid himself
down iu a languishing attitude, with a nosegay in
the bosom of uia waistcoat, and his guitar on his
knees, and jingled away at the strings, singing for
eign songs, with a shrill voice, and with his nose
oonceitedly turned up iu the air. I was obliged to
caution Slioit and the sailors—or they would, to a
dead certaiuty, have put all our lives iR peril by
openly laughing at him.
We had but a poor supper that night. The Pi
rates now kept the provisions they had brought from
the Island for their own use . and we had to share
the miserable starvation diet of the country with
the Indians and the Sambos. This consisted of
black beans fried, and of things they call Tortillas,
meaning, in plain English, fiat cakes made of crush
ed Indian corn, and baked on a clay griddle. Not
only was this food iuripid, but the dirty manner iu
which the Indians prepared it, was disgusting
However, complaint was useless ; for we could see
for ourselves that no other provisions had been
brought for the prisoners. I hrard some grumbling
among our men, and some little fretfulness among
the children, which their mothers soon quieted 1
myself was indifferent enough to the quality of the
food ; for I had noticed a circumstance, before
it as brought to us, which occupied my minu with
more serious considerations. One of the mules was
unloaded near us. and i observed among the bag
gage a large bundle of new axes, doubtless taken
from some ship. Atter puzzling my brains for
some time to know what they could be wanted for,
I came to t e conclusion that they w.-re to be em
ployed ia cutiing our way through, when we came
to the forests. To tbrnk of the kind o: traveling
which these preparations promised—if the view I
took of them was the right one—end then to look at
the women and children, exhausted by the first
day s march, was sufficient to make any man un
ea.°y. It weighed heavily enough cn my mind. I
know, when I woke up among the llowers, from
time to time that night.
Our sleeping arrangements, though we bad not a
.-ingle civilized comfort, were, thanks to the flowers,
simple and easy enough. For ti e first time in their
lives, the women and children laid down together,
with the iky for a roof, and the kind earth for abed.
We men >:.ook ourselves down, as well as we could,
all around them , aud the Pirates relieving guard
regularly, ranged tkemseix-es outside of all. I u that
<i\ picaf climate, and a: that tot time, the night was j
only pleasant y cool. The bubbling of the stream,
and. now and then, the course of the breeze through
the flower?, was ail we beard, During the hours of
dark nee s it occurred to me—and I have no doubt
the same idea struck my comrades—that a body of
determined men, making a dash for it, might now
have stood a fair chance of escaping. We were
still near enough to the sea shore to be certain of
not losing cur way , and the plain was almost as
smooth, for a good long run. as a natural race conn*?.
However, ice mere act of dwelling on such a !•
tion, was waste of time and thought, sur&ted as w
were with regard to the women a *.d.children. TL j* |
w ere. so to speak. the hostages who insured our sub
mission to captivity, or to any other hardship tb&t
might be inflicted on us. a result which I Lave no
doubt the Pirate Captain had foreseen, when be 1
mace us all prisoners toget cr on taking possession
of the Island.
We were roused up a: four in the morning, to 1
travel on before the beat set in, our march under yes
terday’s broiling sun having been only undertaken
for the purpose of getting us away from the sea shore !
and fr.‘ u possible h*-Ip ia that quarter without loss ‘
of time. We forded the s’ream*, waded through it I
waist-deep, except the children, who crossed on our !
shoulders- An hour before noon we halted under ;
two immense wild cot*on trees, about half a mile |
from a little brook, which propably ran into the !
stream we had passed in the morning. Late in the :
afternoon we were cn foot again, and encamped for j
the night at three deserted huts, built of mud and *
pole*. Thi-re were the remains of an enclosure here. 1
intended, as I thought, for cattle. and there wae an !
old well, from which our supply of water was got.— :
The grater parr of the women were very tired and
sorrowful that night. but Miss Maryon did wonders
in cheering them up.
On the third morning we began to skirt tne edge
of & mountain, cu-rying our store of water with us
from the well. We men prisoners had oar full
share of the burden. What wi h ibai, what with j
the wav being ail up hill, and what with the neces
sity of helping cn the weaker members cf our coll
panv, tha’ day’s march was the hardest I remem
bc-r to have ever got through. Towards evening,
after resting again in the middle cf the day. we
stopped for the night ou the verge of toe forest A
aim, lowering, awful sight it was, to look toe
rnighry wail of tree*, stretching in front and cn eith
er side of u*, without a limit ALd without a break.
Through the night, though there was no wind bl w
ing over our encampment, we b*ard, deep, moan
irg. ruahirg sounds rolling about, at intervals, in
the great inner wilderness of leaves, aud now and
t hen those among us who slept were st iriled by dis
tant crashes in the depths of the forest —the death j
knelt of failing trees We kept fires alight, in case .
of w-rd animals stealing out on us in the darsress;
and the the flaring red light, and the thick, winding
smoke, alternately, showed and hid the forest pros
! peet in a strangely treacherous and ghostly way.— |
Tae children shuddered with fear; even the Pirate :
1 Captain forgot, for the first time, to jingle his eter- j
! nal guitar.

CHARLESTO , Feb. 12. Cotton— Middling Fair at
the date of our last report, was quoted at a ll cents.
The demand was goed at the opening of the current
week, aud the sales of Friday, the first day, reached
some 250 U bales, and holders realized a further improve
ment on the above quotations. Buyers were also out in
goodly numbers on Saturday, but there was a stringency
in the terms demanded by sellers, that did not meet
their views aud tbe day parsed off rather quietly, the
Tales having been confined inside of lUJO bales. The
favorable advices by tbe steamer Arabia on Monday
morning, stimulated the demand, and a very active busi
ness engaged the attention of dealers throughout the
day, rec.ultiag ia the sale of fully 4250 baie3, at a range
of figures decidedly higher than bad yet been realized
Tuesday and Wednesday may also be classed as very
activeditys, tbe sales on the former day ha ing reached
upwards of 2800, and on ihe latter 2345 bales. The
irausactions were characterized by a good deal of ex
citement accompanied,as waste have been expected,
by still higher prices, *nd when the market closed on
Wednesday, M ddling Fair had advanced to 12c.. and
was hard to obtain even at this figure Thus stood mat
tors when we wore put in possession of the advices
brought out by the Indian. The decided favorable tenor
of these advises, taken m connection with the light stock
on sale, induced ho ders yesterday to demand still high
er prices. Their demands were partially met and sales
wc:e made upon the basis of 12iT2gc. for Good Mid
dling, ami 12'c for Mi Idling Fair, but buyers withdrew
alter having takeu about 2100 bales If we may be al

we have no doubt but that holders w ill sustain their po
ftitlon, the. taple being in great favor at pres: nt, as the
-.ales of tbe week, which in the aggregate reach 14,819

EUREKA OIL
IS the result of many years’ experiments nude ly a
medical man, a dealer in slaves, in to meet
and successfully combat the different ; iia and aches
those uuuer his care were subject to from ibe various ex
posuras in travelin , and camp life. I* has been found
from experience to possess restorative and healaing vir
tues equalled by no other mixture or compound yet dis
covered for the following afflictions :
Sores or Eruptions of the Skin, Ulcerated Sores on the
legs or any part of the body, Rheumatism, Neuralgia,
Ht&d Ache. Tooth Ache, Bone Felions, Tetters, Pains,
S re Throat. Swollen Gians, Sore or weak Eyes in man
or bean, Ear Ache, Cramp or Pain in the Stomacl),
Colic, Weak Back, Spinal Affections, Sore Breasts, Sore
or Cracked Nipples, Fever Sores, Scald Head, Fresh
Cuts and Bruises, aft Pains in the Lunds and Joints,
Sprains and Strains, Swollen Feet and Ankles, Burns,
! Stricture.
We claun no magic for the workings of this great
soother and successful competitor in the healing art, of
*ll tffe remedies which have been put forward for public
favor. If the first application does not gi v e relief, try the
second, third or iourih, and we w 11 g arantee the suffer
er shall no: be d.sappointed. Where it has been intro
duced it has superceded DeGrath's and all oth°r reme
dies. We challenge the world for the production of its
equal in allaying p:a, or in heading art. It would
seem snperfleous to mention the wonderrc.l cures pro
duced in a very few minutes in the streets of Columbus,
Ga. when administered to a horse judged to be dying
under the effects of the bots, and on two other occasion*
: when administered to mules suffering greatly with colic.

DENNIS’ ALTERATIVE,
OR GEORGIA SARSAPARILLA COMPOUND,
PK EPA RED by J. DENNIS, M. D., Augusta, Ga.,
for Diseases of the Liver and to Purify the Blood.
It contains, in addition to Sarsaparilla, the hydro-alco
holic extract of Queen’s Delight, (Stillingia) White Ash,
Grey Beard or Fringe Tree, (Chionanthns) Tincture of
May Apple or Mandrake, (Podophyllum) and Blood
Boot, ( S an gu inaria.)
In small doses it acts as an alterative or laxative, in
larger doses as a mild purgative— with some as an active
purgative.
As r.n alterative or laxative, it has been found useful
in Constipation of the Bowels, Jaundice, Bilious Fever,
Fever and Ague, Sick Headache, Dizziness, various Fe
male Complaint:, Chronic Affections of the Liver, second
ary Syphilis and Syphiloid Diseases, Scrofulous Affec
tions. Sores, Ulcers, Blotches, Cutaneous Eruptions, or
Diseases of the Skin, and all ot her diseases in which Sar-
saparilia or alterative medicines are indicated.
That it acts upon the Liver, may be known from the
fact, that in Jaundice, or cases of Biliousness, it causes
free bilious evacuations, readily remove? unnatural yel
low tinge about the eyes and upon the skin, and im
proves the health and spirits
In Cutaneous Eruptions, Blotches, Pimples and other
diseases of the skin, it causes the disappearance of the
Blotches, Pimples, &.C., and greatly improves tbp com
plexion.
Asa diet drink, it keeps the bowels free, the liver
healthy, and the blood pure.
It-’ healthy action on the liver, and purifying effect up
on the blood, make it a great safeguard against disease;
for children a safeguard against worms—lt causes an in
creased secretion and parage us the biie, whieh acts as
an irritant to wornia and prevents thei- accumulation.
Physicians, who haVe made extensive use of the diffe
rent ingredients of this preparation of Sarsaparilla, re
gard teem as tho best and most efficient agents in the
Materia Medica.
It is put up in pint bottles. Price $1 per bottle.
