The present Commodore Kearny commanded this ship, and he took us down to the Rock. The reason of our volunteering was this. The men-of-war of the Dutch and the French, rendezvoused at Mahon, as well as ourselves. The French and our people had several rows ashore. Which was right and which wrong, I cannot say, as it was the Java's men, and not the Delaware's, that were engaged in them, on our side.

At diagonal corners of this square, as far apart as its space would permit, two venerable doctors' homes still stood, which had given more repute to Delaware's little capital than its jurists or statesmen, the former residence of Sykes the surgeon and Miller the pathologist and writer.

We found the ship lying alongside the Navy-yard wharf, and after passing one night in the receiving-ship, were sent on board the two-decker. The Delaware soon hauled out, and was turned over to Captain Downes, the very officer who had almost persuaded me to go in that ill-fated brig, the Epervier. I was stationed on the Delaware's forecastle, and was soon ordered to do second captain's duty.

The bead on the front sight of the rifle had hardly covered the chief's dark face when Wetzel's eye took in these other details. He had been so absorbed in his purpose that he did not dream of the Delaware's reason for returning to the Beautiful Spring. Slowly Wetzel's forefinger stiffened; slowly he lowered the black rifle. Wingenund had returned to bury Whispering Winds.

The wild creatures of the forest were his informants. As soon as he heard any change in their twittering, humming or playing whichever way they manifested their joy or fear of life he became as hard to see, as difficult to hear as a creeping snake. The Delaware's trail led to a rocky ridge and there disappeared.

Although Hist timidly endeavored to catch his eye as the canoe left the side of the Ark, the pride of a warrior would not permit him to meet her fond and anxious looks. The canoe departed and not a wandering glance rewarded her solicitude. Nor were the Delaware's care and gravity misplaced, under the impressions with which he proceeded on this enterprise.
