(CONCLUDF.D.)
Next morning when I went upon rleck. after a
short and perturbed sleep, I found Marietta dash-
ing watei over it, that she might elface all ves-
tige of the transactions of the preceding night
An_tr_et-stuff did not make his appearance tillnoou, .
and his looks were ghastly and agonized. Ile
seemetl stI_:pifietl with horror, and sometimes en-
tirely lost all perception ofthe things around him
for a considerable time. He suddenly came close
up tome, and demanded, uith a bold air, but
quivering voice, what I had meant by calling him
:4 nitmlct-er ?—..6 VVhy, that you are one,’ replied I,
ttftet‘ a pattse. ‘ Beware what you say,’ return-
ed he. lie:-r,el_v—-‘ you cannot escape my power
unw——-I tell you, sir, Morvaldenfell overboard.’
~ It,-‘Cw, then. came that blood that covered the
deck ?‘ inquitetl 1. He grew pale, and then cri-
ed. ‘ You lic- yott lie infernally—there was none!’
—‘ I saw it,’ said I-—* I saw Mortalden himsell—
lmvg after midnight. He was clinging to the
stcrr.-cable, and said’--‘ Ha, ha, ha-—devils l cur-
ses l’——-exclainted AItget‘5tofl—-‘ Did you hear me
dreunning ?—-I was mad last night—Come, come,
come ?——‘vVe shall tend the beacon together--Let
us make ltiends. and don’t be afraid, for you’ll
find me a good fellow in the end. He now forci-
bly shook hands with me, and then hurried down
to the cabin.
In the afternoon, while sitting on deck, I dis-
cerned a boat farolf, but I determined to conceal
this from Angerstoff and Marietta, lest they
should use some means to prevent its approach.
I walked carelessly about, casting a glance upon
the sea occasionally, and meditating how I could
best take advantage of the means of deliverance’
uhich I had in prospect. After the lapse of an
hour, the boat was not -more than halfa mile dis-
Iant from us, but she suddenly changed her course,
and bore away towards the shore. I immediately
shouted, and waved at handkerchief over my head,
as signals for her to return. Angerstoff rushed
from the cabin. and seized my arm, threatening
at the same time to push me overboard if Iat-
tcmpted to bail her again. I disengaged myself
from his grasp, and dashed him violently from
me. '1 he noise brought Marietta upon deck,
who immediately perceived the cause ofthe al’t'ray,
and cried. ‘Does the wretch mean to make his
escape ? For Gods-ake, prevcnt the possibility of
that l’ - Yes, yes,’ returned Angerstolf; ‘he ne-
ver shall leave the vessel-——I-le had as well take
care. lcst I do to him “hat I did to-—.’ ‘ To Moi‘
valtlcn, I suppose you mean,’ said I. ‘VVell,
well, speak ll out,’ replied he ferociously; ‘ there
is no one here to listen to your damnable false-
liootlés. and I.’ll'n'ot be fool enough to give you an
opporluni'-y of uttering them el~sewhet'e. I'll
Slliallglc you the next time you tell these lies a-
bout——-’ ‘Come.’ interrupted Marietta, ‘ don’t be
uneasy-—-the boat will soon be far enough away—
If he wants to give you the slip, he must leap
overboard.’
' I was irritated and disappointed beyond meas-
ure at the failure of the plan of escape I had for
med, but thought it most prudent to conceal my
feelings. I now perceived the i'a.-.lmeSs and bad
constcptetices of my hold assertions respecting the
murder of Motvulden ; for Angerstoll‘ evidently
ilu.ut;-ht that lj.i_\ personal safety, and even his life,
uottltl be endangered, ifI ever found an O[)])t)t'lu-
nity of uL‘,CUSllh{ and giving evidence against him.
All m_v motions were now watched witli double
vigilance. t‘vlurietta and her paramonr kept upon
tl-.-ck by turns during the whole day, and the lat-
ter looked oveI' the surrounding ocean, through a
glass, at intervals, to discover if any boat or ves-
*el u-as approaclting us. Ile olten muttered
ll1I'r"dlh as he walketl past me. and more than once,
scclnflfl waiting foran opportunity to push me 0-
verhoazd. Marietta and be frequently whispered
together, and I always itnaginccl I heard my name
fIH:flll()l’it.‘fl in the Course of their Conversations.
I now felt comp-letelv miserable, being satisfi-
ed that Angemtolf was bent upon my destruction.
I wantleted, in at state of fa.~'.u ful cit-cumspectiun,
froiazt one part of the vessel t0 the other. not know-
ing how to secure myself from his designs. Eve-
ry time he approached me, my heart palpitated
dreadfully--—and when night came on I was ago-
nized with terror, and could not remain in one
spot, but hurried backwards and forwards between
the cabin and the deck, looking wildly front side
to side, and momentarily expecting to feel a cold
burn. and my eyes dazzled—-I became acutely
sensitive, and the slightest murmur, or the l'.ziut-
est breath of wind. set my whole frame in a state
of uncontrolable vibration. At first, [sometimes
thought of throwing myselfinto the sea-—l:ut I
soon acquiretl such an intense feeling of existence,
that the mere idea of (lralll was horrible to me.
Shortly after midnight I lay down in mv birth,
almost exhausted by the harrowing emotions that
had careered through my mind during the past
day. I felt a strong desire to sleep, yet dared
not indulge myself; soul and body seemed at war.
Every noise excited my imagination, and scarce-
ly a minute passed, in the course of which [did
not start up and look around. Angerstolf paced
the deck overhead, and when the sound of his
footsteps accidcntly ceased at any time, I grew
deadly sick at heart, expecting that he was silent-
ly coming to murder me. At length I thought I
heard some one near my bed—I sprung from it.
and, having seized a bar of iron that lay on the
floor, rushed into the cabin.-—-I‘ found Angerstolf
there, who started back'u-hen he saw me, and
said, ‘ I-Vhat is the matter? Did you think that
—I want you to watch the beacon, that I may
have some rest.—-Follow me upon deck, andl
will give you directions about it.’ ' I hesitated a
moment, and then went up the gangway stairs
behind him. We walked forward to the mast
together, and he showed how I was to lower the
lantern when any of the lamps happened to go ‘
out, and bidding rite beware. ofsleep, returned to
the cabin. Most of my fears fotsook me the mo-
ment he disappeared. I felt ncarly as happy as
ifl hatlbeenst.-t at liberty, and, fora time, for-
knife entering my vitals.-My forehead began to"
his station in about three hours, and I again took
refuge in‘my birth, where I enjoyed 4.. short but
undisturbed slumber. _ , - V ,
Next day while I was walking the deck, and
tnxiously surveying the expanse ofocean around,
Angerstolf requested me to come down to the ca.
bin. I obeyed his summons, _and found him there.
He gave me a hook, saying it was very entertain".
ing, and would serve to amuse me during my idle
hours; and then went above, shutting the doors
carefully behind him. ,1 was struck with his fie-
haviour, but, felt no alarm, for Marietta sat at
work near me, apparently unconscious of what
had passed. I began to peruse the volume I held
in my hand, and found it sointerc-sting that I paid
little attention to any thing else, till the dashing
of oars struck my car. I sprung from my chair,
with the intention of hastening upon deck, but
Marietta stopped me, saying. f It is ofno use.-—-.
The gangway doors are fastened.’ ‘.\‘otwithsta_nd-
ing thisvinformation, I made tlnjatlempt to open
them, but could not succeed. _ I vtas now convin-
ced, by the precussion against the vessel, that a
boat lay alongside, and Iheard a strange voice ad.
dressing Angerstoff. ‘Fired with ibe idea of de-
liverance, I leaped upon a table which stood in the
middle of the cabin, and tried to push offthc sky-
light, but was_su_ddenly stunned by a violent blow
on the back of my head. I staggered back and
looked round. Marietta stood close behind me,
brandishing an axe, as it in the act of repeating
the stroke. Her face was flushed with rage, and,
having seized my arm, she cried, ‘ Come down,
instantly. accutsed villain ! 1 know you want to
betray us, but may we b all go the bottom if you
find a chance of doing so.’ lstruggled to free
myself from her grasp, but_ being in a state of
dizziness and confusion, I was unable to effccttliis,
and she soon pulled me to the ground. A: that
moment, Angerstoff hurriedly entered the cabin,
exclaiming, ‘ VVhat noise is this .7 Oh, just as I
expected! Has that devil——that spy—l-ieen trying
to get above boards ?-—W'hy haven’t I the heart
to despatch him at once? But there’s no time
now. The people are waiting—Marietta, come
and lend a hand.’ They now forced me down up-
on the floor, and bound me to an iron ring that
was fixed in it. This being done, Ange.rs-.ofi‘di-
rected his female accomplice to prevent me from
speaking, and went upon deck again.
VVhile in this state ofbundage, I heard distinct-
ly all that passed uithout. Some one asked An-
gerstoff how Morvalden did.—‘ VVell, quite well,’
replied the former ;, ‘ but he’s below, and so sick
he can't see any person.’-‘ Strange enough,’
said the first speaker laughing. ‘ Is he ill and in
good health at the same time ? he had as well be
overboard as in that condition.’ ‘ ()\'erboard I’
repeated Angerstolf, ‘ what l—how do you mean 3
-—-all false !—but listen to me. Are there any
news stirring ashore ?’--‘ Why’ said the stranger,
* the chief talk there just now is about a curious
thing that happened there this morning. A dead
man was found upon the beach, and they suspect,
from the wounds on his body, that he hasu’t got
fair play. They are making a great noise about
it, and government means [0 send out a boat with
an officer on board. who is to visit all the ship-
them has lost a man lately. "I'is a dark btisimtss;
butthey"llget tothe bottom of it, I warrant ye.-—-
VVhy you look as pale as if you knew more about
this matter than you choose to tell.’-—‘ No, no, no,’
relltrned .‘\ngerstoi’f; I rzever hear of a murder.
but I think of a friend of mine who--but I wr-ti‘:
detain you, for the sea is getting up-— V'v'c’]l liav.-3
a blowy night, I’m afraid.’-——‘ So you don’t mint
any fi~h to day ? criedtthe stranger. t 'I‘t'.eu I’l3
be 0fl'_.G0od m(~rning, good morning, I §‘..l‘,’:p:»<.s:
you’ll have the goxetnment boat alongside bl l«.r.<l
bye.’ I now heard the sound of oars, and stipprisa
ed from the conversation having ceased, that {[235
fishermen had departed. Angerstull came 'it’-wt‘!
to the cabin soon after, and rcleasetl me without
speaking at word.
Marietta then approached him, and taking ll-'2-ltl
has told you?’ ‘ Yes, by the eternal hell 1’ ct ml
he vehemently; ‘I suspect I will find the r"-c--.i.=
of it soon enough.’ ‘ My God 1’ excl-nitn-.-ti .~.r-v.r,
‘ what is to become of u~ ?--How drcadlul I 'W.-:
are CI].iillC(I here, and cannot escape.’ ‘ Es-r;a;>¢
what ?' interrupted Angerstoif; ‘ girl you h~..~.-.2
lost ytur senses. \Vhy should we fear the ell‘.
ccrs ofjustice? Keep a guard over _v~.,~ur t'J.'2'-‘or- ’
‘ Oh,’ returned Marietta, fI talk without tlit:.,gr—
ing, or understanding my own words ; but come
upon deck,and let me speak with you there.’ They
now went tip the gangway stairs togeth-er, and
continued in deep conversation for some time.
Angerstolf gradually became more agitated as
the day advanced. He watched upon deck al-
most without intermission. and seemed irrcsolu.-e
what to do, sometimes sitting down compo-.-edly‘,
and at other times hurrying backwards and for-
wards, vrith clenched hands and bloodless checks.
The wind blew pretty fresh from the shore, and
there was a heavy swell ; and I supposed, from
the anxious looks with vvlitph he contemplated the
sky, that he hoped that the tlireutning aspect of
the wt.-other would prevent the gnverritneht boat
from putting out to sea. He kept his glass con-
stanlly in his hand, and surveyed the ocean thro'
it in all directions. .
At length he suddenly dashed the instrument:
away, and excl-aime.d‘C-od help us! they are
coming now I’ Marietta, on hearing this, ran wild-
ly towards him, andgput her hands in Iii.» but he
pushed her one sitle,?in_tl began to pace the deck,
apparently in deep thought. After gt li.tlc' time,
he started and cried, * I have it now !——It's the on-

He then seized an axe, and first divided the haw-
