 Description: The readers of the nautical romance entitled `Freemantle, or the Privateersman,' to which the present story is a sequel, will remember that the narrative closed with the landing of Freemantle and the passengers of the Indiaman at the villa of Colonel Hood, while the Indiaman stood on towards the port of Boston. The disabled and defeated corvette at the same time, it will be remembered, was making the best of her way towards Halifax, closely followed off soundings by the Privateer, which then had orders to put back into port. I heard of your illness at Macao. I could not remain there while you where perhaps dying among strangers. I am here without your door—protected by an unperceptible disguise. I have come to nurse you. Do not be alarmed for my safety. I am disguised as a Ceylonese clerk. I pray you send for me to come in that I may be with you.'
