    1 It was all joy with her now, as she sat motionless
    without speaking,

    while he administered to her wants and spoke words of
    love into her

    ears.  She
    remembered the man's horrid threat, and knew that by

    God's mercy she had been saved.  And he was there caressing her,

    loving her, comforting her!  As she thought of the fate that had

    threatened her, of the evil that had been so imminent,
    she fell

    forward on her knees, and with incoherent sobs uttered
    her

    thanksgivings, while her head was still supported on his
    arms.

     



    2 It was almost morning before she could induce
    herself to leave him

    and lie down. 
    With him she seemed to be so perfectly safe; but the

    moment he was away she could see Aaron Trow's eyes
    gleaming at her

    across the room. 
    At last, however, she slept; and when he saw that

    she was at rest, he told himself that his work must
    then begin.

    Hitherto Caleb Morton had lived in all respects the
    life of a man of

    peace; but now, asking himself no questions as to the
    propriety of

    what he would do, using no inward arguments as to this
    or that line

    of conduct, he girded the sword on his loins, and
    prepared himself

    for war.  The
    wretch who had thus treated the woman whom he loved

    should be hunted down like a wild beast, as long as he
    had arms and

    legs with which to carry on the hunt.  He would pursue the miscreant

    with any weapons that might come to his hands; and
    might Heaven help

    him at his need as he dealt forth punishment to that
    man, if he

    caught him within his grasp.  Those who had hitherto known Morton in

    the island, could not recognise the man as he came
    forth on that

    day, thirsty after blood, and desirous to thrust
    himself into

    personal conflict with the wild ruffian who had
    injured him.  The

    meek Presbyterian minister had been a preacher,
    preaching ways of

    peace, and living in accordance with his own
    doctrines.  The world

    had been very quiet for him, and he had walked quietly
    in his

    appointed path. 
    But now the world was quiet no longer, nor was

    there any preaching of peace.  His cry was for blood; for the blood

    of the untamed savage brute who had come upon his
    young doe in her

    solitude, and striven with such brutal violence to
    tear her heart

    from her bosom.

     



    3 He got to his assistance early in the morning some
    of the constables

    from St. George, and before the day was over, he was
    joined by two

    or three of the warders from the convict
    establishment.  There was

    with him also a friend or two, and thus a party was
    formed,

    numbering together ten or twelve persons.  They were of course all

    armed, and therefore it might be thought that there
    would be but

    small chance for the wretched man if they should come
    upon his

    track.  At first
    they all searched together, thinking from the

    tidings which had reached them that he must be near to
    them; but

    gradually they spread themselves along the rocks
    between St. George

    and the ferry, keeping watchman on the road, so that
    he should not

    escape unnoticed into the island.

     



    4 Ten times during the day did Anastasia send from the
    cottage up to

    Morton, begging him to leave the search to others, and
    come down to

    her.  But not
    for a moment would he lose the scent of his prey.

    What! should it be said that she had been so treated,
    and that

    others had avenged her?  He sent back to say that her father was

    with her now, and that he would come when his work was
    over.  And in

    that job of work the life-blood of Aaron Trow was
    counted up.
