CHAPTER XX. I sigh for Scotia's home, and I gaze across the sea, But I cannot get a glimpse o' my ain countree. GlLFILLAN. As we saw, when Lelah Halcro awoke to consciousness in the cabin of the " Bockanier, " she could not comprehend why she was in such a place, nor how she had been brought there ; but when the dreaded name of " Jack Smith " was understood by her, the mystery was solved, and the dark plot in which he had been engaged was laid bare as if by a flash of lightning. She saw in a mo...ment the danger she was in, and the only means by which she could escape from it. She did not fall on her knees and implore him to release her for the sake of friends and home, for she well knew that Jack Smith neither feared God nor regarded man. There was only one power on earth which could overawe him, and that was the power of super- stition, which held such a sway over the minds of men in that age, and more especially the class to which he belonged ; and this power she weilded with such effect as to produce the happy results of being removed from his hated presence, and safe from his machinations.
