and told Charlie how on waking he had found the room full of smoke, and
finding the door locked he broke it down, but the door of the granary
resisted all his efforts, so he put all his strength towards tearing the
bars from the window. He succeeded in this and got out on the wheel, but
directly he tried to get down the rope--which doubtless had been much
charred by the flames--gave way, and down he went. He had seen from the
window, Charlie and his comrades coming, and this endued him with
further strength, but all to no purpose. He implored Charlie's
forgiveness, and turning over with a groan he died.

Little now remains to be told. Owing to the exertions of the soldiers
some of the machinery was saved, but the old man never made any use of
it; he had too great a horror of anything like a mill after his past
experiences. Charlie and Marguerite were soon married. They lived at
Castle Cornet for some time, and after the restoration went with the
Regiment to England, where Marguerite could display her loyalty
undisturbed. Hirzel remained heart-whole to the last we hear of him, and
after his Father's death went and lived with his sister in England, to
see for himself some of the wonders which Charlie had described to him
in his own little Island home.
