CHAPTER XXVI.
"By the faith of my bodyl I did
hear it whispered," replied the tin
ker; ‘though, as I am au honest
man. I did not believe it ”
Whilst this little knot of news
mongers continued upon the quay,
discussing the rumors of the day,
and now and then enlivening their
drooping spirits with a resort to
the rod lattice of the Crow and
Archer, behind which Matty Scam
per and Dame Dorothy by turns
administered the refreshment of a
cup of ale or soma stronger pota
tion. two boats were discovered ap
proaching the harbpr from a point
below St. Inigoe’s and making as
much speed as their complement of
oars would allow. As they neared
the quay, it became apparent that
the first contained a coffin sltenedd
by the fisherman’s family, and two
priests; the second was freighted
with jury under the charge of Mas
ter Giles Ferret, the Coroner.
Whilst the boats are approaching,
we recur to our narrative where we
left it at the conclusion of the last
chapter; deeming it necessary to
say that the anxious wife, after
venting some unavailing and affec
tionate expressions of impatience al
her husband’s delay in returning to
his breakfast, sat down to her meal’
unconscious of the cause that detain
ed her mate and ascribing bis ab
sence to that carelessness of hour*
which grew out of the nature of bis
calling. Noon came, and the frugal
board was again spread for dinner,
but to it came no father of the won
dering household;-still the vacant
seat was not so unusual a spectacle
sto excite alarm. But when the
sun began to dip upon the verge of
the western horizon, and no trace
could be discerned of the homeward
step of the fisherman, fears arose in
the bosom of his wife,—and long
and earnestly she paced the beach
and strained her sight to catch his
expected form. At length, hauling
her little household troop, she salli
ed forth, with hurried steps, along
the sands, for more than a mile;
and finding no vestige of him, re
turned sorrowfully to her humble
roof and give up the night to that
sharpest of all the trials by which
grief may assail the human breast,
—the bai f-boping. half-fearing, sil
ent, doubting watchfulness for the
approach of evil tidings, which the
heart, by a strange presentiment,
sometimes truly foretells.
At daylight her eldeat boy was
dispatched to the bouse of St. Ini
goe’s for aid, and very soon some
four or five persons were on foot to
scour the country in quest of the
lost man. A short search disclosed
the dreadful truth: the body was
found in a thicket of cedar, with
the marks of a bullet through the
brain; the spot within a hundred
paces of the. shore of a small Inlet
(at this day known as Smith’s
creek) that flowed from the Potomoo
a few miles westward of Point Look
out. There were the footprints of
men upon the beach, and marks of
the keel of a boat which hod been
drawn upon the sand. The wretch
ed wife could only tell of her hus
band’s departure in the morning:—
all other recollections, in the depth
of her sorrow, were swept from her
mind; and the persons who were
busy in seeking out the facts of the
murder were obliged to leave the
spot with nothing better then vague
conjectures as to the agency by
which it was perpetrated.
The tidings werequlokly brought
to the town, and the Coroner instant
ly proceeded with a jury to the spot
to perform the duties repuired by
the law. His office was soon dis
charged, and, as we have seen, he
was now. early in the afternoon,
on his return with the body of the
deceased, attended, by the wailing
family and the jury who hod pro
nounced their verdict of ’intentional
homicide by persons unknown.’
In the excited state of parties, at
this crisis, the Proprietary did not
choose to risk a popalar tumult. Al
ready, as was usual at that day,
regardless of any ascertained teal
relating to the murder, common
opinion osoeribed It to the Indians:
whilst the more violent of the fao
tionlsts noised it abroad as a con
trivance of the Catholic party tq
