Marat's murderess gloried in her crime; an innocent prisoner languishes yonder, in that stone cage beyond the river." Mr. Dunbar pointed over the billowing sea of green tree tops, toward an irregular dark shadow that blurred the northern sky line; and his eagle eyes darkened as they discerned the prison outlines. "Did you ever see a sketch of Rossetti's 'Pandora'?" asked Prince. "No."
They learned that she carried no treasure, and they were glad they had not risked their lives looking for it. What had happened to her crew was never learned. They returned to the submarine and told what they had viewed. And then, with a last look at the wreck, they passed on in their search for the Pandora.
You see, up to this time everybody in the world had always been happy, no one had ever been ill, or naughty, or miserable; the world was new and beautiful, and the people who lived in it did not know what trouble meant. So Epimetheus could not understand what was the matter with himself, and he stopped trying to play games and went back to Pandora.
It is a question whether even a thought was spent upon them, except by myself, perhaps by Ben Brace, and most likely the captain of the Pandora. But if the skipper thought of them, it was from no motives of humanity.
Mary sat bolt upright on the couch. "What name did you say?" she cried. "Dixwell Hardley," repeated Tom. "That's he name of the man who claims to know where the wreck of the Pandora lies. He says she has two millions or more in gold on board, and I'm to get half."
It was the last time that sun ever shone upon the Pandora when morning came, that bad, but beautiful barque, was a wreck upon the sea a field of floating fragments! You desire an explanation? You wish to know how the Pandora was destroyed? In the closing passages of the preceding chapter, I ran ahead of my narrative. I shall now return to it.
As for those who remained at Otaheite, they were taken prisoners in 1791 by Captain Edwards of the Pandora, sent out by the English Government in search of them and the other mutineers, with orders to bring them to England. Of the ten who were brought home by the Pandora, only three were condemned to death.
It seems as if, were there any giant large enough, he might raise up this mirror and set it on end. There is also a female statue, beautiful from the waist upward, but shaggy and cloven-footed below, and holding a little cloven-footed child by the hand. This, the old gardener assured us was Pandora, wife of the above-mentioned Pan, with her son.
"Always talking about this box!" said Epimetheus, at last; for he had grown extremely tired of the subject. "I wish, dear Pandora, you would try to talk of something else. Come, let us go and gather some ripe figs, and eat them under the trees, for our supper. And I know a vine that has the sweetest and juiciest grapes you ever tasted."
The Oceanides ministered to me, Hermes came now and then, even Hercules left a card; but I never saw Pandora." "How could I compromise Epimetheus, Prometheus?" demanded Pandora. "Besides, my attendant Hope was always telling me that all would come right, without any meddling of mine." "Let her tell you so now," retorted Prometheus. "Tell me now!
