“Pardon me. Sire, I do not, cannot think they were

“Still,” said Pryscille, firmly, uncovering her face, and
fixing her eyes steadily on Richard, “still I should love

“Ay—as I said,” muttered the monarch aside; then,
turning to Pryscille, he again asked—“Then thou wilt
promise me to escape from Felix, and proceed with us to
England?"
MAy, promise, Pryscille. I have not deceived thee,”
exclaimed Hubert, who had for soma lime stood closer to
Pryscille than she imagined; for she was just planning
how she might ask secrecy of him who had betrayed her
into the confession of woman’s hoarded secret, when the

ing bard. What art poundering on—the probability of a
lieve we can suit you. We have brought with us the
small sword, a neat gentlemanly weapon—they cut and
thrust, good in a melee, and which will answer indifler-
ently well in a duel—and the broadsword or cutlass,
which is often preferred by those who are deficient in skill
in the use of arms. My friend, Cap Bigbee, is equally
expert with either. You have only to choose. As the
challenged party you have an undoubted right to select
your arms.’
‘Of that privilege I am well aware,' replied Capt. Lov-
ett, 'and I mean to avail myself of it. I shall not fight
with swords.’
‘I expected as much,' resumed Lieut. James, and I have
par a f dis
a little why Captain Lovett expected to find porpoises in
Demerara river.
The next morning, as soon as all hands were called,
Capt. Lovett ordered the boat to be manned, and requested
Mr. Starbuck to take the two harpoons, to each of which
some eight or ten fathoms of rattling stuff were attached,
and accompany him on shore. In a few moments the
boat reached the South Quay, where Capt. Lovett, was
met by several of his countrymen, who had been attracted
to the spot by the rumor of the duel, as well as several
merchants and other inhabitants of the place. ‘They one
and all remonstrated with Capt. Lovett for his folly in con-
senting to fight with the English military bully, who was
represented as a duellist; an expert swordsman, and an
unrivalled marksman with a pistol, being sure of his man
at twelve paces; Capt. Lovett, however showed no in-
clination to back out; but, on the contrary seemed more
eager for engagement—'I'll teach that quarrelsome fellow
a lesson,’ said te, which shall be of service to him and
which he will never forget as long as his name is Big-
bee?
The challenger; with his forehead ornamented with a
large patch over the impression left by the Yankee’s
knuckles, and his swollen eyes dimly twinkling withang-
er and mortification through the two huge, livid circles,
over its glassy surface—sang extempore couplets on
Hubert’s luckless face—apostrophized bis dearly loved
