CHAPTER I.
Sent Into Servitude.
Knowing this to be a narrative of
unusual adventure, and one which may
never even be read until long after I
have departed from this world, when
It 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 i
only purpose is truth, and my only
witness history. Yet, even now lately
as this all happened. It is more like
the recollections of a dream, dimly re
membered at awakening, and, per
chance, might remain so, but for the
scars upon my body, and the constant
memory of a woman's face. These J
alone combine to bring back in vivid- [
n^ss those days that were—days of j
youth and daring, of desperate, law- i
less war, of wide ocean peril, and the
outstretched liands of love. Po that I
here, where I am writing It all down, !
here amid quietness and peace, and j
forgetful of the past I wander again ,
along a deserted shore, and sail among j
those isles of a southern sea, the home
for many a century of crime and un
speakable cruelty. I will recall the
tenth onH do nn mnrp
It was still oarly morning when we I
were brought out rnder heavy guard
and marched somberly forth through
the opened gates of the jail. Ahead
we could perceive a forest of masts,
and what seemed like a vast crowd of
waiting ptu>plo. Thai we had been
sentenced to exile, to prolonged servi
tude iu some foreign land. was all that
any of us tiiev.*.
The guards prodded the crowd sav
agely with the butts of their mus
ketoons. thus making scant room for
us to shuffle through, out upon the far
end of the wharf, where we were
Anally halted abreast of a lumping
brig, apparently nearly ready for sea.
There were more than forty of us. I
gained glimpse of the hooker's name—
Romping Betsy of Plymouth. A mo
ment later a sailor passed alontr the
edge of the dock and instantly a whis
per passed swiftly from man to man.
"It's Virginia, mate; we're bound for
Virginia."
The eyes of n prisoner met mine.
"Virginia, hey?" he grunted. "Ye're
a sailorman. ain't ye. mate? Well,
then, whar is this yere Virginia?"
"That's all right, mates," I returned
cheerily. "We'll fall into the hands
of Englishmen out there. In America,
where all tne tobacco comes from.
I've been there twice—and to a land
beyond they call Maryland. Tis a
country not so unlike England."
"Yer better stow that, my man,"
growled someone above me, and I
looked up Into the stern eyes of the
captain of the guard, "or It may be
the 'cat' for ye. So ye've been ter
the Virginia plantation, hev ye? Then
ye must be Master Carlyle, I take it.
I heerd tell about ye at the trial, but [
supposed ye ter be an older man."
"I atn twenty-six."
"Ye don't look even tbot. Ay.
they're ready for ye now. Fall in
there—all of yer. Step along, yer
d d rebel scum."
I stared aft at the poop deck. There
were a number of persons gathered.!
along the iow rail, probably all passen
gers. Then my eyes encountered a
strange group foregathered beside the
lee rail.
There were four in the little party,
one of them a negress. Another was
clearly enough a colonial proprietor,
a heavily built man of middle age,
purple faced. I passed these by with
a glance, my attention concentrating
upon the other two—a middle-aged
man and a young woman stand
ing side by side. The former was a
dashing lookiug blade, of not more
than forty, attired in blue slashed
coat, ornamented with gilt buttons,
and bedecked at collar and cuffs with
a profusion of lace. A saffron colored
waistcoat failed to conceal his richly
beruffled shirt, and the hilt of a rapier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such dandies were frequently enough
seen, but it was this man's face which
made marked contrast with his gay
attire. He was dnrk and hook-nosed,
apparently of foreign birth, with black
mustache tightly clipped, so as to re
veal the thin firmness of his lips, and
even at that distance 1 -could perceive
the lines of a scar across his chin. Al
together there was an audacity to his
face, a daring, convincing me he was
no mere lady's knight but one to whom
fighting was a trade. He was pointing
ns out to his companion, apparently
joking over our appearance, in an en
deavor to amuse. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although
her eyes followed where he pointed
they never once lighted with a smile,
nor did I see her answer his sallies.
She was scarcely more than a girl,
dressed very simply some clinging
dark stuff, witli a loose gray cloak
draping her shoulders and a small,
neat bonnet of straw perched upon a
mass of colled hair. The face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with durk eyes
and rounded cheeks flushed with
health. She stood, both hands clasping
the rail, watching us intently. I
somAow felt as though her eyes were
upon me, and within their depths, even
at that distance, I seemed to read a
message of sympathy and kindness.
The one lasting impression her face
left on my memory was that of Inno
cent girlhood, dignified by a womanly
tenderness.
What were those two to each other?
I could not guess, for they seemed
from two utterly different worlds. Not
What Were These Two to Each Other?
brother and sister surely; and not
lovers. The last was unthinkable.
Instinctively I disliked the man, aware
of an Instant antagonism, realizing
that he was evil; while his companion
came to me as revealment of all that
was true atul worthy, in a degree I had
never known before. From the instant
i looked upon these two I felt con
vinced that, through some strange va
gary of fate, we were destined to know
more of each other; that our life lines
were ordained to touch and become
entangled, somewhere in that mystery
of the western world to which I had
been condemned.
Then the guards came to me, and,
with my limbs freed of fetters, I was
passed down the steep ladder into the
semldarkness between decks, where
we were to be confined. It proved a
dismal, crowded hole in which we were
quartered like so many cattle, the only
ventilation and light furnished by the
open hatch above. The ticket given
trie called by number for a certain
berth, and I found this, throwing with
in the small bundle I bore. Almost
Immediately there was a sound of
tramping feet on the deck above, and
the creaking of blocks. Then a sud
den movement of the hull told all we
were under way. .
CHAPTER II.
The Prison Ship.
The greater portion of th^t voyage
of 53 days I would blot entirely from
memory If possible. I cannot hope to
describe It in any detail—the foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror of food, the close companion
ship of men turned into mere animals
by suffering and distress, the weari
some days, the black, sleepless nights,
the poisonous air, and the brutality of
guards. I can never forget these
things, for they have scarred my soul.
The hatch above remained open, but
carefully guarded night and day, while
we were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only in squads of ten, two
hours out of every twenty-four. This
alone served to break the dread mo
notony of the voyage. From our exer
cise on deck we generally returned be
low drenched to the skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours of,
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
about at sea and sky. We were herd
ed well forward, a rope dividing us
from the main deck, which space the
passengers aft used as a promenade.
There were only three women aboard,
a fat dowager, the young lady I had
noticed at embarkation, and her col
ored maid. I gained but one glimpse
of the young lady in the first two
weeks at sea, and then only as we
were being ordered down to our quar
ters for the night. Just as I was ap
proaching the hatch to descend our
eyes met fairly, and I instantly knew
she saw and recognized me. For a
single second our glances clang, &s
though some mysterious influence held
us to each other—then the angry !
guard struck me with the stock of his
piece.
"What er ye standin' thar fer?" he |
demanded savagely. "Go on down— 1
lively now."
I saw her clasping fingers convul
sively grip the rail, and, even at that
distance, marked a sudden flame of
color in her cheeks. That was all her
message to me, yet quite enough. Al
though we had never spoken, although
our names were yet unknown, I was
no criminal to her mind, no unrecog
nized prisoner beneath contempt, but
a human being in whom she already
felt a personal interest, and to j
whom she extended thought and sym
pathy. I continued entirely Ignorant
of the identity of the young woman.
She remained in my memory, in my j
thoughts nameless, a dream rather j
than a reality. I did learn that tne
gay gallant was a wealthy Spaniard,
supposedly of high birth, by name
Sanchez, and at one time in the naval
service, and likewise ascertained that
the rotund planter was a certain Roger
Fairfax of Saint Mary's in Maryland,
homeward bound after a successful
sale of his tobacco crop In London. It
was during his visit to the great city
that he had met Sanchez, and his
praise of the colonies had induced the
latter to essay a voyage in his com
pany to America. But strange enough
no one so much as mentioned the girl
In connection with either man.
