"The accursed plot he overheard, Its every point portrayed; Yet ere the villain's words were cold. The counter-plot was made." Hatchie was chagrined at the loss of his prisoner. His diligent search was of no avail. The Chalmetta's boat, which lay at the wood-yard in the morning, was gone; so he had no doubt Maxwell had made his escape in it.
