"How do you know that?" said he, staggering back; "I'm sure you never saw " "Hush, hush," cried Marietta to him; "are you mad? Speak again! What frightens you? Why don't you run and help Morvalden?" "Has XXXX anything happened to him?" inquired Angerstoff, with a gaze of consternation. "You told us he had fallen overboard," returned Marietta; "must my husband perish?"
The seamen dropped their oars, as if by one impulse, and looked expressively at each other, without speaking a word. Awful XXXX forebodings of a fate similar to that of the captain appeared to chill every heart, and to repress the energy that had hitherto excited us to make unremitting exertions for our common safety.

"Do not let your senses be imposed upon by a distempered imagination," said I; "there is no reality in the things you have told XXXX me." "Perhaps my mind occasionally wanders a little, for it has a heavy burden upon it," returned Morvalden. "I have been guilty of a dreadful crime.
