 even until the detail of that sentence should be executed, which she had already, learned would doubtless be death by hanging at the yard-arm of the ship in which he was confined. Poor girl! it was sad to think that she could gloat over this anticipated result--such was the power of her revenge. But in the same ratio to the intensity of her secret satisfaction at the hoped-for execution of Captain Will Ratlin, whom she had once loved, but now so bitterly hated, was her disappointment, vexation, and uncontrollable anger, at the idea of his escape, of which she was one of the first to learn.

It was the first thought that entered her head that he had probably gone thither to be near and with Helen Huntington, and thither she stealthily crept, and watched until she saw him, and thus satisfied herself.  NO ONE DOUBTED AND EVEN UNTIL THE DETAIL OF THAT SENTENCE SHOULD BE EXECUTED WHICH SHE HAD ALREADY LEARNED WOULD DOUBTLESS BE DEATH BY HANGING AT THE YARD ARM OF THE SHIP IN WHICH HE WAS CONFINED POOR GIRL IT WAS SAD TO THINK THAT SHE COULD GLOAT OVER THIS ANTICIPATED RESULT SUCH WAS THE POWER OF HER REVENGE BUT IN THE SAME RATIO TO THE INTENSITY OF HER SECRET SATISFACTION AT THE HOPED FOR EXECUTION OF CAPTAIN WILL RATLIN WHOM SHE HAD ONCE LOVED BUT NOW SO BITTERLY HATED WAS HER DISAPPOINTMENT VEXATION AND UNCONTROLLABLE ANGER AT THE IDEA OF HIS ESCAPE OF WHICH SHE WAS ONE OF THE FIRST TO LEARN CAPTAIN ROBERT BRAMBLE THOUGH HE DID NOT ATTEMPT TO FIND HIS BROTHER WOULD HARDLY HAVE BELIEVED THAT HE WOULD REMAIN OPENLY IN TOWN AND AT THE MISSION HOUSE BUT MAUD REASONED MORE TRULY IT WAS THE FIRST THOUGHT THAT HAD ENTERED HER HEAD THAT HE HAD PROBABLY GONE THITHER TO BE NEAR AND WITH HELEN HUNTINGTON AND THITHER SHE STEALTHILY CREPT AND WATCHED UNTIL SHE SAW HIM AND THUS SATISFIED HERSELF
