The helm was put up, the ship righted, and away she flew before the furious blast, not having suffered any material damage. The Ione, however, could nowhere be seen. Struck by the squall, she might either have been dismasted or have capsized.
Tom Baraka had seen Charley arrive with the lieutenant, and guessing that he had belonged to the "Ione," and had brought news of Ned, waited outside, hoping to learn from him why Ned had not come home. At length, however, unable to endure the suspense, he took the privilege of a favoured servant and came into the room. "You come from de `Ione, massa?" he said, looking at Charley.
"Devote then," he went on, "to the austere friend of your youth one of these bright summer evenings, and let me boast that my gloomy mansion has been honoured with the presence of the admired Ione." Unconscious of the pollutions of the mansion, of the danger that awaited her, Ione readily assented to the proposal.
'By my fathers! cried the Egyptian, 'Fate smiles upon me even through these horrors, and, amidst the dreadest aspects of woe and death, bodes me happiness and love. Away, Greek! I claim my ward, Ione! 'Traitor and murderer! cried Glaucus, glaring upon his foe, 'Nemesis hath guided thee to my revenge! a just sacrifice to the shades of Hades, that now seem loosed on earth.
Olinthus caught him by the hand the pulse had ceased to beat! The last words of the father were the words of truth Death had been more kind! Meanwhile Glaucus and Nydia were pacing swiftly up the perilous and fearful streets. The Athenian had learned from his preserver that Ione was yet in the house of Arbaces. Thither he fled, to release to save her!
One would think that, like Epimenides, the Cretan, he had spent forty years in a cave, and had found something unnatural in the daylight ever afterwards. 'Yet, like Epimenides, he is kind, and wise, and gentle, answered Ione. 'Oh, happy that he has thy praise! He needs no other virtues to make him dear to me.
He did not, however, express his feelings, except to Charley, as he considered, justly, that it would be like throwing pearls before swine to say anything of the sort to Rhymer or O'Connor, who would only have laughed at him. The "Ione" had a quick passage round the south coast of Africa, and she now entered the Mozambique Channel.
No state falls from freedom from knowledge, while your sex smile only on the free, and by appreciating, encourage the wise. Arbaces was silent, for it was neither his part to sanction the sentiment of Glaucus, nor to condemn that of Ione, and, after a short and embarrassed conversation, Glaucus took his leave of Ione.
High, proud, dilating in her stature, like one inspired, the air and voice of Ione struck an awe into the breast of her listener. 'Brave heart! said he, after a short pause; 'thou art indeed worthy to be mine. Oh! that I should have dreamt of such a partner in my lofty destinies, and never found it but in thee! Ione, he continued rapidly, 'dost thou not see that we are born for each other?
But the most picturesque objects are the lateen sails with their long tapering yards either wing and wing when skimming along before the wind, or heeling over when close-hauled upon it. Such in part was the scene viewed from the deck of the Ione. Captain Fleetwood sat meditating in his cabin. He had read all his letters from home.
