Little Maria cried very much as I wished her good-bye. "You are going away, and I shall never never see you again, my dear, dear Mr Seaworth!" she exclaimed, as she held my hands, and looked up affectionately into my face. "Now, promise me, if you succeed in finding your dear little Eva and I am sure you will find her that you will come back and show her to me.
"You know, Seaworth, I was always a very wild fellow, and you used to get me out of numbers of scrapes," he begun. "Well, at last I became tired of school, and I did nothing but bother my friends to send me to sea.
"I do not understand you; yet I say, whatever the injury, I am bound to forgive you, and with God's assistance I do so. But my sister? Tell me of my sister." "Then, sir, you are such a Christian as I remember, when a boy, I was told men should be; but you are the first I ever met. You would learn what has become of the little girl, Eva Seaworth, as she was called. Alas! I cannot tell you.
We lost sight of the Cowlitz just as the sun sunk in the western wave. We were now gliding calmly over the starlit sea the beautiful firmament above us shining with a splendour peculiar to the torrid zone. The boats sailed well, and kept company easily together. "This is one of the vicissitudes to which a seaman is exposed, Mr Seaworth," observed Adam Fairburn, as I sat by his side.
I talked the subject over with Fairburn, who agreed with me that the brig was probably the Emu, while he, at the same time, did his best to relieve my anxiety respecting the fate of her passengers. "You know, Seaworth," he observed, "even the most abandoned wretches have generally some feelings of humanity about them.
"The name I have always borne is that of Mark Seaworth," I answered, remembering that I had good reason to suppose that it was not my real one. "Mark Seaworth! The very same; I ought to have known you at once; and I am delighted to find you, old fellow.
"Don't you feel rather a different motion in the craft?" he said. "It may be fancy; but I cannot help thinking that she does not go along as lively as before. Take the helm, and I will go and see if my suspicions are correct." Saying this, he left me, and I took his place. In about five minutes he returned. "Seaworth," he said, "you must be prepared for bad news; it is as I suspected.
"But how could you encourage those people, in the savage work in which they were engaged?" "I am not surprised at the question, Seaworth," he replied, gravely; "but you must not think so ill of me as to suppose that I encouraged them in murdering their countrymen.
