But they never reached it.
Gloomily came Nat Turner at nightfall into those gloomy woods whereforty-eight hours before he had revealed the details of his terrible plotto his companions. At the outset all his plans had succeeded; every thingwas as he predicted: the slaves had come readily at his call; the mastershad proved perfectly defenceless. Had he not been persuaded to pause atParker's plantation, he would have been master before now of the arms andammunition at Jerusalem; and with these to... aid, and the Dismal Swamp fora refuge, he might have sustained himself indefinitely against hispursuers.
Now the blood was shed, the risk was incurred, his friends were killed orcaptured, and all for what? Lasting memories of terror, to be sure, forhis oppressors; but, on the other hand, hopeless failure for theinsurrection, and certain death for him. What a watch he must have keptthat night! To that excited imagination, which had always seen spirits inthe sky and blood-drops on the corn and hieroglyphic marks on the dryleaves, how full the lonely forest must have been of signs and solemnwarnings!
