Now, do you mind, there's a naiger concayled in the hould of the boat, that wants to correspond with a faymale in the cabin." "But he will expose himself, and she may deliver him up." "Divil a bit! Didn't he save her from dhrowning, last night?" exclaimed Pat, warmly, for this act of Hatchie excited all his admiration.
We built four batteries on the bank of the river, three of them mounting three guns each, and the lower one six guns. These guns were 32 and 64 pounders. Three miles further up, above the mouth of Hatchie river, another battery of three 32-pounders was built. Our rations at this time were neither very lavishly given nor very choice in quality, yet there was no actual suffering.
I received at the same time, from Colonel Dickey, the notice that the bridge over Hatchie was burned, and therefore I prescribed their order of march via Bolivar. They started at 12 m. of the 23d, and I have no news of them since. None of the cavalry ordered to me is yet heard from.
His painful apprehensions were quieted by the appearance of Hatchie, who in a concise manner related the events of the night. The last lingering doubt of the suspicious invalid was removed by the entrance of Emily herself. "You are safe, dear Emily!" exclaimed he. "I am, thank God!" "And I could not assist in your defence!" "Heaven will protect me, Henry.
"Not all," replied Hatchie; "you cannot know how much anxiety I have endured. Miss Emily is not yet safe." "But we can easily foil the villain's future designs." "We will, at least, endeavor to do so." "I believe I have seen you before; we were companions in the rescue." "We were, and God bless you for the noble service you rendered my mistress!"
While it was yet at some distance, he discovered Hatchie, whom he recognized by the light of his torch, running in front of it. The appearance of the mulatto, alone, he interpreted as the signal of victory to the party in conjunction with him, who, he imagined, were pursuing him.
Encouraging his party by shouts, and by his own example, a general engagement ensued. Hatchie no sooner saw the foe of his mistress' peace, than, stepping between him and Jerry Swinger, who also had an account to settle with him, he knocked down the pistol which was levelled at his head, and grasped him by the throat. In the hands of Hatchie the attorney was as nothing.
"But we must be as speedy as possible," suggested Emily. The arrival of the woodman's son terminated the difficulty. It was arranged that Hatchie should go with him, to assist in rowing back.
The poor fellow was in an agony of grief, not on his own account, but on that of his mistress, for he well understood the reason of this imprisonment. Hatchie, of course, could give him no information of the whereabouts of Emily, nor offer any suggestion; and Vernon was compelled to leave the disheartened mulatto, with only a promise of speedily effecting his deliverance.
"Well, now, I reckon there is a leetle grain," said Uncle Nathan, stepping forward and producing the will, which had been intrusted to him on board the Chalmetta. "This will set matters about right, I rayther guess." "What mean you, fellow?" said Jaspar. "What is it?" "The genuine will," replied Hatchie, still holding Maxwell. "I gave it into his hands.
