It is a pathetic picture, that of the infant rescued by his brave aunt from the blood-bath, and stowed away in the storeroom where the mats and cushions which served for beds were kept when not in use, watched over by two loving and courageous women, and taught infantile lessons by the husband of his aunt, Jehoiada the high priest.
"I wish Mr. Pertell would come and bring the camera," said Russ. "He could get a good moving picture of the rescue." "Maybe he will," suggested Paul. There was a little silence, and then Mr. DeVere called, from outside the cave; "Here they come! Now you will soon be rescued! There's help enough to chop away the whole cave!"
All that was visible on deck before the boats left tended to this conclusion and the testimony of those who went down with the ship and were afterwards rescued is of the same kind.
The sufferings of the captive women, the dreadful scenes they witnessed, and the fortitude and courage they displayed, have been rescued from tradition and embodied in a permanent record by more than one historian. The names of Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Marcy, Mrs. Franklin, and a host of others, are inseparably associated with the household legends of the Wyoming Valley.
She had been rescued half-dead, and her parents, shocked at the deed, had not attempted to discover its cause, but had only talked about her "mad attempt," in the same way as they had spoken of the accident to the horse Coco, when he had broken his leg in a ditch and had to be killed.
Thrown once more on the world, with a few hastily rescued jewels for all her fortune, Lola Montez resumed her stage life, appearing in London in a drama entitled "Lola Montez: or a Countess for an Hour."
The crowd however, was not to be suppressed, but indulged in comments. "He murdered his father, didn't he?" "What? THAT wretched creature?" As for the boatswain, he squatted upon his heels, and proceeded to subject the rescued man to a course of strict interrogation. "What is the destination marked on your ticket?" "Perm." "Then you ought to leave the boat at Kazan. And what is your name?"
The Union, as we have before stated, entered Sydney harbour in October, 1804, and before that time the simple gratitude of the rescued girl to her rescuer had changed into a deeper and tenderer feeling. But we must not anticipate.
So that Peter said well in the first chapter, that the prophets sought out the time, and diligently inquired after the salvation and concerning the future grace that was previously promised. So now Christ is to be preached, that He it is who has rescued us from this shame into which we were all plunged. Now let any one come forward who chooses, and exalt free-will, and defend human ability.
I missed the fence by revolving the steering wheel as though I were playing roulette. I almost went round twice, but J rescued me by kicking my foot off the throttle. Since then I have sufficiently mastered it to drive to town for the laundry and the newspaper. I am like a child learning to walk by having an orange rolled in front of it.
