For many days the subject was deeply pondered ; and all the chances of death, life, pleasure, plunder, honor, and the like, were cal- culated, till a resolution was taken to brave all consequences and immediately to enlist on board MofTatt's vessel. Having no day so opportune, I waited till the coming Sabbath, and then, instead of reading Shakspeare, I called up all the man— or demon, (?) Charles, and wended my way, sullen and resolved, to the wharf. And there lay the vessel. I may not say ther...e were in my heart no misgivings, no relen tings before ; I may not say there were no thoughts of dear and kind friends that had taught me prayers, in my dark and tossing spirit — ^yes, there was a fierce conflict within. But alas ! what home had I ? Ah ! Charles, there were things in my early days bitter in- deed, and which often drove my wayward and proud spirit to the vei^e of madness, or worse ! The changes in my treat- ment and hopes were too sudden and grievous for a boy to bear philosophically, and with scarce a friend or adviser.
