The
magistrate
observed
me
with
a
keen
eye
and
of
course
drew
an
unfavourable
augury
from
my
manner
.
The
son
confirmed
his
father
's
account
,
but
when
Daniel
Nugent
was
called
he
swore
positively
that
just
before
the
fall
of
his
companion
,
he
saw
a
boat
,
with
a
single
man
in
it
,
at
a
short
distance
from
the
shore
;
and
as
far
as
he
could
judge
by
the
light
of
a
few
stars
,
it
was
the
same
boat
in
which
I
had
just
landed
.
A
woman
deposed
that
she
lived
near
the
beach
and
was
standing
at
the
door
of
her
cottage
,
waiting
for
the
return
of
the
fishermen
,
about
an
hour
before
she
heard
of
the
discovery
of
the
body
,
when
she
saw
a
boat
with
only
one
man
in
it
push
off
from
that
part
of
the
shore
where
the
corpse
was
afterwards
found
.
Another
woman
confirmed
the
account
of
the
fishermen
having
brought
the
body
into
her
house
;
it
was
not
cold
.
They
put
it
into
a
bed
and
rubbed
it
,
and
Daniel
went
to
the
town
for
an
apothecary
,
but
life
was
quite
gone
.
Several
other
men
were
examined
concerning
my
landing
,
and
they
agreed
that
,
with
the
strong
north
wind
that
had
arisen
during
the
night
,
it
was
very
probable
that
I
had
beaten
about
for
many
hours
and
had
been
obliged
to
return
nearly
to
the
same
spot
from
which
I
had
departed
.
Besides
,
they
observed
that
it
appeared
that
I
had
brought
the
body
from
another
place
,
and
it
was
likely
that
as
I
did
not
appear
to
know
the
shore
,
I
might
have
put
into
the
harbour
ignorant
of
the
distance
of
the
town
of
--
--
from
the
place
where
I
had
deposited
the
corpse
.
Mr.
Kirwin
,
on
hearing
this
evidence
,
desired
that
I
should
be
taken
into
the
room
where
the
body
lay
for
interment
,
that
it
might
be
observed
what
effect
the
sight
of
it
would
produce
upon
me
.
This
idea
was
probably
suggested
by
the
extreme
agitation
I
had
exhibited
when
the
mode
of
the
murder
had
been
described
.
I
was
accordingly
conducted
,
by
the
magistrate
and
several
other
persons
,
to
the
inn
.
I
could
not
help
being
struck
by
the
strange
coincidences
that
had
taken
place
during
this
eventful
night
;
but
,
knowing
that
I
had
been
conversing
with
several
persons
in
the
island
I
had
inhabited
about
the
time
that
the
body
had
been
found
,
I
was
perfectly
tranquil
as
to
the
consequences
of
the
affair
.
I
entered
the
room
where
the
corpse
lay
and
was
led
up
to
the
coffin
.
How
can
I
describe
my
sensations
on
beholding
it
?
I
feel
yet
parched
with
horror
,
nor
can
I
reflect
on
that
terrible
moment
without
shuddering
and
agony
.
The
examination
,
the
presence
of
the
magistrate
and
witnesses
,
passed
like
a
dream
from
my
memory
when
I
saw
the
lifeless
form
of
Henry
Clerval
stretched
before
me
.
I
gasped
for
breath
,
and
throwing
myself
on
the
body
,
I
exclaimed
,
"
Have
my
murderous
machinations
deprived
you
also
,
my
dearest
Henry
,
of
life
?
Two
I
have
already
destroyed
;
other
victims
await
their
destiny
;
but
you
,
Clerval
,
my
friend
,
my
benefactor
--
"
The
human
frame
could
no
longer
support
the
agonies
that
I
endured
,
and
I
was
carried
out
of
the
room
in
strong
convulsions
.
A
fever
succeeded
to
this
.
I
lay
for
two
months
on
the
point
of
death
;
my
ravings
,
as
I
afterwards
heard
,
were
frightful
;
I
called
myself
the
murderer
of
William
,
of
Justine
,
and
of
Clerval
.
Sometimes
I
entreated
my
attendants
to
assist
me
in
the
destruction
of
the
fiend
by
whom
I
was
tormented
;
and
at
others
I
felt
the
fingers
of
the
monster
already
grasping
my
neck
,
and
screamed
aloud
with
agony
and
terror
.
Fortunately
,
as
I
spoke
my
native
language
,
Mr.
Kirwin
alone
understood
me
;
but
my
gestures
and
bitter
cries
were
sufficient
to
affright
the
other
witnesses
.
Why
did
I
not
die
?
More
miserable
than
man
ever
was
before
,
why
did
I
not
sink
into
forgetfulness
and
rest
?
Death
snatches
away
many
blooming
children
,
the
only
hopes
of
their
doting
parents
;
how
many
brides
and
youthful
lovers
have
been
one
day
in
the
bloom
of
health
and
hope
,
and
the
next
a
prey
for
worms
and
the
decay
of
the
tomb
!
Of
what
materials
was
I
made
that
I
could
thus
resist
so
many
shocks
,
which
,
like
the
turning
of
the
wheel
,
continually
renewed
the
torture
?
But
I
was
doomed
to
live
and
in
two
months
found
myself
as
awaking
from
a
dream
,
in
a
prison
,
stretched
on
a
wretched
bed
,
surrounded
by
jailers
,
turnkeys
,
bolts
,
and
all
the
miserable
apparatus
of
a
dungeon
.
It
was
morning
,
I
remember
,
when
I
thus
awoke
to
understanding
;
I
had
forgotten
the
particulars
of
what
had
happened
and
only
felt
as
if
some
great
misfortune
had
suddenly
overwhelmed
me
;
but
when
I
looked
around
and
saw
the
barred
windows
and
the
squalidness
of
the
room
in
which
I
was
,
all
flashed
across
my
memory
and
I
groaned
bitterly
.
This
sound
disturbed
an
old
woman
who
was
sleeping
in
a
chair
beside
me
.
She
was
a
hired
nurse
,
the
wife
of
one
of
the
turnkeys
,
and
her
countenance
expressed
all
those
bad
qualities
which
often
characterize
that
class
.
The
lines
of
her
face
were
hard
and
rude
,
like
that
of
persons
accustomed
to
see
without
sympathizing
in
sights
of
misery
.
Her
tone
expressed
her
entire
indifference
;
she
addressed
me
in
English
,
and
the
voice
struck
me
as
one
that
I
had
heard
during
my
sufferings
.
"
Are
you
better
now
,
sir
?
"
said
she
.
