f all my father's liabilities, but to secure the means for carrying on
a mercantile business in our native land.
Years have passed since then. The battle for independence has been
fought and won. Marian long ago became Arthur's bride; and I have a
wife of my own, who, although she has never stirred out of her native
land, knows as much about our adventures as we do. Uncle Paul remained
a bachelor to the end of his days, with Sambo as his attendant; and
faithful Tim, who married a fair daughter of Erin from the "ould
country," refusing to quit us, still remains in our service; while
Captain van Dunk, who entered the American navy, after ploughing the
seas for many a year has settled down on a farm near us, where he
ploughs the land with the same energy and perseverance he ever
exhibited. Of course, as may be supposed, Marian and I often narrate to
our children the adventures we met with "in the wilds of Trinidad and
the Orinoco."
