It was useless. I have scarcely the courage to write what then took place, it was so fearful — it was so hideous. Bounding down the hill, in her night-dress, her long black hair streaming like a meteor behind her, and her naked feet, usually so exquisitely white, covered with blood, came Josephine, shrieking ** Ralph, Ralph ! " Her voice seemed to stab my bosom like an actual knife. Behind her came running her father, and a number of negro men and women. Before she could reach me, they had flun...g me into the stern-sheets of the boat.
"Shove off! shove off!" shouted the lieutenant; and the boat was immediately in motion. Like a convicted felon, or a murderer taken in the fact, I buried my craven head in my knees, and shut my eyes. I would not have looked back for kingdoms. But I could not, or did not, think of pre- venting myself from hearing. The boat had not pulled ten yards from the beach, when I heard a splash behind us, and simultaneous cries of horror fr^m the boat's crew and those on shore ; among which the agonised voice of the heart- broken father rose shrilly, as he exclaimed, ''Josephine, my child!" I looked up for a moment, but dared not look round ; and I saw every man in the boat dashing away the tears from his eyes with one hand, as he reluctantly pulled bis oar with the other.
