"3 “ You surprise me, my lord!” said the Hermit, truck with admiration at the daring of Glen, from whom, it will be re- membered, he parted ere he boarded the Terror. “Tt is nevertheless true, Hermit, for Lieutenant Grayson of the Terror, was here not two hours ago and I learned all. from him.” : . “That Hussar Captain is a, wonderful man,” “ Assuredly he is; but I believe your plan good to take him prisoner, for I learned from a secret source that he was planning a raid with his troops, and doubtless he returned to his encampment as soon as he had run the schooner up to Amboy.” “Doubtless, my lord. Well, sir, have you decided what men to send on this expedition ?” : “No, I do not know—” “Can I suggest that you draw them from the rebel. cruiser captured some time ago? she has two oflicers and some thirty men aboard of her.” ; “True, and can easily spare an officer and half her crew— who: will guide the expedition, Hermit ?” ‘J will send my negro man with the boats, sir; he can be fully trusted.” “All right. Find out what you can about it to-day, and upon your return I will give you the order for the lieutenant, commanding the rebel prize, to send an officer and fifteen seamen witb you; come to me as soon as you return.” “J will, Lord Howe ;” and leaving the mansion the Hermit wended his way to his boat, which he called ashore, and was soon fying across the mouth of the Hudson river, and head- | ing al ng the Jersey coast toward Elizabethport.
