Two of the fishermen belonging to this place Jean Leferrier and Pierre Cousin by name venturing too far off shore last night, were pounced upon and made prisoners by a boat belonging to the fleet.
On my entrance, she rose wearily to her feet, and looked round in feeble surprise, but without any sign of perturbation at seeing a stranger before her. "Have I the honour to address Madame Leferrier?" I inquired, with as polite a bow as the heavy fish-basket on my back permitted me to make. "I am Dame Leferrier," she replied. "Who are you, young man?
They were placed in irons, and confined between the same two guns as myself, and learning that I intended trying to escape, they directed me how to find my way on shore, and how to behave when here; giving me also a note to convey to Madame Leferrier. I am now on my way to the house of Monsieur le Maire to report myself."
I also informed them that it would be necessary for me to borrow certain portions of their habiliments, to be used as a disguise. "It is a dangerous game which you are about to play, monsieur," remarked the elder of the two, who gave his name as Jean Leferrier. "The greatest precautions are taken to prevent the access of spies into the place.
"Well," said I, "they really belong to poor Jean Leferrier and his mate; and I intended asking Monsieur le Maire to accept one or two of the finest of them, after which I should sell the remainder, and hand over the proceeds to Jean's mother, who I find depended entirely upon her son for house, food, and clothing.
I had been very minute in my inquiries as to how I was to proceed on landing, so as to be able to go direct to the abode of Dame Leferrier; and the fisherman Jean had been equally minute and careful in directing me; I had only to stand a few seconds, therefore, as though taking breath after the steep ascent, and look carefully about, to recognise the landmarks which he had given me to determine the direction I ought to take.
