THE PIRATE.
By Sir Walter«Scott.
CHAPTER XXXVIL. (Continued )
‘**You may be angry with me, my pretty young lady,” said the good-humored Provost Torfe, ‘‘ but I cannot be offended with you. The Church of Saint M agnus has stood many a day, and, I think, will outlive both you and me, much more, yonder pack of unhanged dogs. And besides that your father is half an Orkneyman,and has both estate aud friends among us, I would, I'give you my word, do as much for a Zetlander in distress as I would for any one, excepting one of our own native Kirkwallers, whe are doubtless to be prefer- red. And if you will take up your lodgings here with my wife and. myself, we will en- deavor to show you,” continued he, ‘ that you are as welcome In Kirkwall, as ever you could be in Lerwick or Scalloway..”
Minna deigned no reply to this good-humor- ed invitation, but Brenda declined it in civil terms, pleading the necessity of taking up their abode with a.wealthy widow of Kirk- wall, a relation, who already expected them.
Halcro-made another attempt.to. move the Provost,..but . found. him inexorable. —‘‘ The Collector of the Customs had already. threat- ened,” he said, ‘to inform against him for entering into treaty, or, as he called it, pack- ing and peeling with those strangers, even when it seemed the only means of preventing a bloody affray in the town; and, should he now forego the advantage afforded by the’ im- prisonment of Cleveland and the escape 6f the Factor, he might incur something worse. than censure,” The burden :of/ the whole was, ‘that he was sorry for the (Udaller, he was sorry even) for the Jad,/Cleveland, who had some sparks of-honor about him; but this duty was: imperious, and must be obeyed.” The Provost then precluded farther argument, by observing, that another affair from Zetlsnd called for his immediate attention. A gentle- man named ~ Mertoun, residing at Jarlshof, had made coniplaint against Snailsfoot the Jagger, for having assisted a domestic of his in embezzling some valuable ‘articles which had been ‘deposited in his custody, and hei was about ‘to take examination. on the subject, and.caus? them to be restored-to Mr. Mertoun who was atcountable for'them. to the right owner.
In, all this information, there was nothing which seemed interesting to the sisters, ex- cepting the word Mertoun, which went like a dagger to the heart of Minna, when she recol- lected the circumstances ‘under which* Mor- daunt Mertoun had disappeared, and which, with an emotion less painful, though still of a melancholy nature, called a faint blush into Brenda’s cheek, and'a’slight degree of mois- ture into her eye. But: it was soon evident that the Magistrate spoke /not:of Mordaunt, but Sof his father';. and. the daughters. of Magnus, little interested iu- his, details, took leave of the Provost to go to their own lodging,
When. they arrived at their relation’s Minna made it her business to learn, by such inquiries as she could make without exciting suspicion, what was the: situation of the unfortunate Cleveland, which she soon discovered» to be exceedingly precarious. The Provest had not, indeed, committed: him to; close custody, as Claud Halcro had anticipated, recollecting, perhaps, thée;favour- able circumstances under which he had surrendered himself, and loath, till the mom- ent of last necessity, altogether to break faith with him. But although left apparently at large, he was. strictly watched by persons well armed and appointed for the purpose, who had direction to detain him by force, -if he attempted to pass certain narrow precincts which* were allotted to him. “He was quartered in a strong room within what is
called’ the King’s Castle, and at night his § {chamber door was locked on the outside, and a
sufficient guard mounted to prevent his es- cape. He therefore enjoyed only the degree of liberty which the cat, in her cruel sport, is sometimes pleased to permit. to. the mouse which she has clutched ; and yet, such was the terror of the resources, the courage, and ferocity of the pirate Captain, that the Pro- vost was blamed by the Collector, and many other sage citizens of Kirkwall, for permitting him to be at large upon any conditions,
It may be well believed, that; under such
circumstances, Cleveland had ‘no desire to seek any place of public resort, conscious that he was the object of a mixed feeling of curos- ity and terror. His favorite place of exercise, therefore, was the external aisles of. the Cathedral of Saint: Magnus, of. which the eastern end. alone is. fitted up for public worship. This solemn old edifice, having escaped the, ravage. which attended the first convulsions of the Reformation, still retains some appearance of episcopal ‘dignity. This place of worship is separated by a screen from the nave and western limb of the cross, and the whole.is preserved ina state of cleanliness and decency, which-might be well proposed as an example to the proud piles of Westminster and St. Paul’s. , / It was in this exterior part of the Cathedral that Cleveland was. permitted to walk, the rather that his guards, by watching the single open entrance had the means, with very little inconvenince to themselves, of preventing any possible attempt at escipe. The place itself was well suited to his melancholy circum- stances. The lofty and vaulted roof rises upon ranges of Saxon pillars, of massive size, four of which, still larger than the rest, once sup- ported: the lofty spire, which, long since dlestroyed by accident, has been rebuilt upon a disproportioned and truncated plan. The light is admitted at the end through a lofty, well-proportioned and richly ornamented Gothic window, and the pavement is covered with inscriptions, in different languages, distinguishing the graves of noble Orcadians, who have at different times been deposited within the sacred precincts.
Here walked Cleveland, musing over the events of a_misspent life, which, it seemed probable, might be-brought to a violent and shameful close, while he was yet in the prime of youth.—‘‘ With these“lead” he said, look- ing on the pavement, ‘‘shall I soon be membered—but ‘no holy man will speak a blessing; no friendly hand register an inscription; no proud descendant sculpture armorial bearings over the grave of the pirate Cleverland. My whitening bones will swing in the gibbet-irons, on fsome wild beach or lonely cape, that will be esteemed fatal and accursed for my sake, The old mariner, ag
he passes the Sounds, will shake his head and tell of my name and actions, as a warn- ing to his younger comrades.—But, Minna | Minna !—what willbe the thoughts when the news reaches thee?—Would to God the tidings were drowned in the deepest whirlpool betwix Kirkwall and Burgh-Westra, ere they came to her ear! andho! would to Heaven that we had never met, since we never can meet again.” (To be continated:)
Children’s Carnival.
Tue Children’s Carnival at Victoria, Crapaud, on Wednesday last, was a decided Success, and was witnessed by a large num- ber of spectators, who were highly pleased with the many gay litle costumes flitting over the glistening sheet of ice. Among those worthy of special mention were ‘* Vanity,” ‘The Flower Girl,” ‘+ Mr. piloahey, Esquire,” and the ‘‘ Highland
oy.
At nine o’clock the adults in costume were alluwed on the ice, and among them we noticed many new costumes, notably **P. E. Island,” ‘* Fancy Work,’ and *“Mr. and Mrs. Bowser,” which were very good. The clown also did his part exceed- ingly well... Good music was furnished’ by. the Westmorland Band, who are improving very rapidly.
Considering this was the second Carnival of the season, the managers are to be ‘con- gratulated on the success and perfect Har- ° mony of their efforts in having secured and ‘ perfected such an enjoyable institution as. the Victoria Skating Rink. Below will be found a list of those taking part :—
