1. My
next care was for some ammunition and arms. There
were two very good fowling-pieces
in
the great cabin, and two pistols. These I secured
first, with some powder-horns and a small
bag of shot, and two old rusty swords.
I knew there were three barrels of powder in the
ship, but
knew not where our gunner had
stowed them; but with much search I found them,
two of them
dry and good, the third had
taken water. Those two I got to my raft with the
arms. And now I
thought myself pretty
well freighted, and began to think how I should
get to shore with them,
having
neither
sail,
oar,
nor
rudder;
and
the
least
capful
of
wind
would
have
overset
all
my
navigation.

When a girl leaves her home at eighteen, she does
one of two things. Either she falls into saving
hands and
becomes
better,
or
she
rapidly
assumes
the
cosmopolitan
standard
of
virtue
and
becomes
worse.
Of
an
intermediate balance,
under the circumstances, there is no possibility.
The city has its cunning wiles, no less
than the infinitely smaller and more
human tempter. There are large forces which allure
with all the soulfulness
of expression
possible in the most cultured human. The gleam of
a thousand lights is often as effective as the
persuasive light in a wooing and
fascinating eye. Half the undoing of the
unsophisticated and natural mind is
accomplished by forces wholly
superhuman. A blare of sound, a roar of life, vast
array of human hives, appeal
to the
astonished senses in equivocal terms. Without a
counsellor at hand to whisper cautious
interpretations,
what falsehoods may
not these things breathe into the unguarded ear!
Unrecognised for what they are, their
beauty, like music, too often relaxes,
then weakens, then perverts the simpler human
perceptions.
