THE PILOT.

CHAPTER I.

* Our trumpet called you to this gentle parle."

King Jahn.

As Griffith and his companions rushed from the offices of St. Ruth, into the open air, they encountered no one to intercept their flight, or communicate the alarm. Warned by the experience of the earlier part of the same night, they avoided the points where they knew the sentinels were posted, though fully prepared to bear down all resistance, and were soon beyond the probability of immediate detection. They proceeded, for the distance of half a mile, with rapid strides, and with the stern and sullen silence of men who expected to encounter immediate danger, resolved to breast it with desperate resolution ; but, as they plunged into a copse, that clustered around the ruin which has been already mentioned, they ·lessened their exertions to a more deliberate pace, and a short but guarded dialogue ensued.
