which women were outraged, and
men shot down in cold blood, were
of almost daily occurence; and can
it therefore bo wondered at, that
the Americans resolved to fight to
the bitter end, rather than allow
themselves governed by a people
whose officers and representatives
were guilty of such cruel and bar

awaited further orders.

the purpose of Hales to take his
life, or allow the temales outraged,
Cornwallis having strictly prohib
ited both, at a Bignal from him,the
soldiers lowered him to the ground
where he lay without any sign of
life save the feeble throbbing of the
heart. The wife and children flew
to his body, and alter a few mo
ments of frantic nibbing their la
bors were rewarded with signs of
returning life.
Wheu Capt. \Y was suffi
ciently recovered to converse Hales
informed him, that inasmuch as he
had intended from the beginning
to protect the females, that • lie
•might consider his word pass d to
with as ]jjl that effect. Capt. W escort-

tainUjout two hundred and fifty
pound in gold. Hales divided
fifty funds of it among his men
and kat the balance. He then
told th» soldiers that what the
house attained was theirs, and
that he bowed them a quarter of
an hour A sack it. They needed
uo further 1 urging and dashed at
once into tip building. In less than
the time alpwed, every room had
oeen pillage), and they gathered
around Halesto await his orders,
Some of then had snatched up
blankets; one had a violin,another
a number of the Captain’s shirts,
some one thing, some another, and
all had something. One drunken
fellow came out arrayed in a silk
dress that belonged to the Captain's
wife, and was greeted with rhe
cheers and shoutB of his heartless
companions.
“Ho you know,’ said Hales, to
Capt. W , the price you will
have to pay for defying my power?
“I do not,’ replied he, “but if
you make good your promise of

We turn now for a moment t<>
describe the n w home, or rather
tire place to which Coles had caus
ed Nina to be carried.
As we have seen, the vessel on
which Nina had been sent, arrived
safely in the pert of New York. It
wa« night when the vessel w»-
made fast to the wharf, anil tie
the man to whom the person o!
Nina had been entrusted, hnvint
resided for y-ars in the city, an,
knowing nil its streets and alleys,
went ash ire at mice with his charg
and* proceeded without de
lay to conduct her to the placi
which Hales had appointed. Ii
was situated in a quarter of the
city occupied by the lowest and
most vicious of its inhabitants.
The buildings wero mostly of woo l
and many of them were in a very
dilapidated and tumhled-down
condition. The dwellings were
miserable hovels in most instances
and unfit even for the protection ol
cat tie.
As Nina and her conductor pass
ed along the crooked streets of this
part of the city it seemed that al
most every third building was de
voted to the vending ot intoxicating
liquors. Their ears were greeted
with snatches of drunkin ^songs,
shouts and horrible oaths. In
some of these dens music nnd dan
cing were heard, and not unfre- ■
man drunk uni ernzy!
quor would reel forth into I
the street and disc; poured iu the
dark alleys, and once or twice Ni
na, chilled as she wag, was greatly 1
shocked to sc e a drunken fi iv.a'e I
stagger out into the street utter
ing fearful oaths and gnallv disap
pear from sight io the friendly
groom of night.
Nina nnd her conductor entered
into one of these liquar dens iu this
polluted quarter, and going op to
the proprietor whispered a few
words in his ear. The coriftereoce
soon ended, and Nina's conductor
carried her through a door into the
rear end of the building. The
room which they had now entered
appeared to be used for a kitchen,
dining,Bleeping andreception room.
The room was lighted by a wood
fire in aD old-tashioued fire place,
for coal had not yet come into gen
eral use. By thie fire was seated
a woman with her head resting on
a small deal table, apparently fast
asleep. The glass, and bottle la-
bled “gin,” told the character of
the sleep into which she had tulleD.
Nina and her conductor hod in
terchanged very few words after
leaving the vessel, partly because-
the latter was not of a very com
municative disposition, and partly
because Hales had directed that he
should hold as little intercourse as
practicable with his charge. She
asked him why he bad brought her
into this fearful place?
Ir m here; she is a child, and if
she Stays here you know what
s In'll he, and aj.e'd far bettor
l-e deed than here. 7
Tl.o manner of the womanfrght-
iiied Nina more than the scenes
sh had witnessed in the s“eets,
and .-hi* added her entreaties to
those eel’ the woman.
“(.-h 1 please air,' said the child
“do ake me from this bad place-;
I'll be a good girl, and ge) with
you anywheres.’*
The mein, rough nud hardened as
ho w ,s appeared to bo really muted
by the tears of the cliiW; bflt he
knew eif no phice to which ho could
take her, or if he had he did not
dare teidisabe-y the iervMa«f Hides.
“It can’t Ire done,” saitj he;
“I’ve agreed to leave her with you
mil I must do it. Alter all, you
ean make the girl right handy to
ne-lp you, ami I reckon it II all turn
nit right in the eud. Good dy.”
