All within was dark and silent, and the air was tainted with a sickly, pungent odour that filled Bonivon with the gravest apprehensions. ALL WITHIN WAS DARK AND SILENT AND THE AIR WAS TAINTED WITH A SICKLY PUNGENT ODOR THAT FILLED BONIVAN WITH THE GRAVEST APPREHENSIONS
hunderstorm came on; a general panic ensued; and Bonivon soon found himself struggling in a whirlpool. Powerful swimmer though he was, he would most certainly have been drowned had not some one come to his assistance, and, freeing him from the heavy clothes which weighed him down, dragged him on dry land. The moment Bonivon got on _terra firma_, sailor-like, he extended his hand to grip that of his rescuer, when, to his dismay and terror, instead of a hand he grasped a huge hairy paw. Convinced that he was in the presence of the Devil, who doubtless highly approved of the thousand and one atrocities he had perpetrated on the helpless Huguenots, he threw himself on his knees and implored the forgiveness of Heaven. His rescuer waited awhile in grim silence, and then, lifting him gently to his feet, led him some considerable distance inland till they arrived at a house on the outskirts of a small town. Here Bonivon's conductor halted, and, opening the door, signed to the captain to enter. RAN ASHORE IN THE DARKNESS A THUNDERSTORM CAME ON A GENERAL PANIC ENSUED AND BONNIVON SOON FOUND HIMSELF STRUGGLING IN A WHIRLPOOL POWER SWIMMER THOUGH HE WAS HE WOULD MOST CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN DROWNED HAD NOT SOME ONE COME TO HIS ASSISTANCE AND FREEING HIM FROM THE HEAVY CLOTHES WHICH WEIGHED HIM DOWN DRAGGED HIM ON DRY LAND THE MOMENT BONIVON GOT ON TERRA FIRMA SAILOR LIKE HE EXTENDED HIS HAND TO GRIP THAT OF HIS RESCUER WHEN TO HIS DISMAY AND TERROR INSTEAD OF A HAND HE GRASPED A HUGE HAIRY PAW CONVINCED THAT HE WAS IN THE PRESENCE OF THE DEVIL WHO DOUBTLESS HIGHLY APPROVED OF THE THOUSAND AND ONE ATROCITIES HE HAD PERPETRATED ON THE HELPLESS HUGUENOTS HE THREW HIMSELF ON HIS KNEES AND IMPLORED THE FORGIVENESS OF HEAVEN HIS RESCUER WAITED AWHILE IN GRIM SILENCE AND THEN LIFTING HIM GENTLY TO HIS FEET LED HIM SOME CONSIDERABLE DISTANCE INLAND TILL THEY ARRIVED AT A HOUSE ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF A SMALL TOWN HERE BONIVON'S CONDUCTOR HALTED AND OPENED THE DOOR SIGNED TO THE CAPTAIN TO ENTER
