THE DAILY POST.
THE CONTRABMISI'S MENGE.
A CONFESSION.
[CONTINUED.]
Some of no had followed the employment from
our boyhood, bat most were broken down char
aoters like myself, who took it for their bread,
but especially to be sure of a continual and plen
tiful supply of spirits. My knowledge of the
processes, as conducted on a large scale, was de
cidedly an acquisiti'n, and I speedily acquired
muoh influence in the party - Our apparatus was
of the simplest description, light, and easily re
moved, for we had nu fixed place of working,
but snifted about as occasion demanded.
It was a week here, and ten days there; now
n an old barn, now in a hut in the middle of a
bog; anon in some lonely cave in the mountains,
or among the rooks of the shore; bat always
within a convenient distance from this town,
where the chief market of our produce lay.
The prime step of the manufacture, previous
to my joining them, had been the ruins of an old
castle; about eighteen or twenty miles from the
town, and a couple or so from the sea-cost.—
One tower of it only remained standing, the rest
being a heap of masses of stone and mortar.—
Beneath this tower was a large, low-roofed vault,
whose only proper vent was a square trap in the
arch, through which you descended into It. In
order, however, to admit a current of air for
their furnaces, they had dug a hole through the
thickness of the wall, which opened on the out
side, close to the edge of a stream, and covered
by brushwood and ivy.
This vault, however, was found to be so damp
as materially to interfere with the delicate pro
cesses necessary, as well as with the health of
the operatives, some of whom caught their deaths
there ; and finally, though admirably adapted in
so far as concealment went, it was abandoned.
When I had been a few days connected with
the set we found it most advantageous to ply
the trade at an old mill, which had been for some
years in disuse. It is situated at a place called
the Mill Hole, a wild spot on the coast, about
twenty miles hence.
This place possessed peculiar points of merit.
It was surrounded landward by miles of moun
tainous,almost uninhabited moorland. A stream,
coming from the hills, found its way to the sea
beside it, washing its walls ; and among the
rocks through and over which it gushed were
innumerable crevices, most suitable for conceal
ment. Moreover, the sea, hard by, afforded eve
ry convenience for the transport of our com
modities ; and, possessed of all these advan
tages, we soon began to extend our speculations,
and shortly attracted the attention of the an.
thories of this town.
Several licensed distillers formed a society
for the suppression of the illicit trade, and kept
a very high reward continually advertised for the
conviction of offenders. The secretary of this
society, and he whose name was affixed to the
placards offering the reward. was no other than
my old acquaintance, Mr. Ormond, of the firm
of Erris and Ormond.
But we were not very apprehensive of any im
mediate danger, as our agent in the town had
especially infermed us that we were not at all
suspected. This person proved to be a traitor:
the temptation of the reward was too strong for
him ; and ho betrayed the whole concern to Ormond
who immediately communicated with the high
sheriff of the county.
The result was that early one morning, as a
man named Quin and myself were engaged with
in the old mill, he, who was lying along upon the
ground, thougnt he it vibrate with a heavy tread
We thought this might be the rest of our crew,
who had gone up to the tower for some grain,
having with them a light rickety cart, or ear
with which we used to transport materials ; but,
on listening further, we perceive a regular meas
ured step, as of soldiers on a march. We ran
out, and about a couple hundred yards off saw a
party of military, accompanied by two civilians.
One of these was an excise-officer ; and the other
was Ormond, in his capacity of secretary of the
protection society.
The instant they saw us they quickened their
pace into a tun. Ormond recognized me. I saw
him pointing me out with violent gestulationa to
the officer that accompanied him. He was
mounted on a blood-horse (an exceedingly beau
tiful animal,) and be immediately gave chase
to us.
I stood for a moment looking at him, my blood
boiling with hatred, and rage : the next moment
however, the instinct of self-preservation over- .
came these feelings, and, turning, I ran rapidly
after Qain towards the shore, close to which we
had a small hockor moored. We rushed into the
sea, and swam off, using our utmost exertions.
Ormond came galloping up ore we had made
three strokes from the beach. Enraged at our
escape, he made furious attempts to urge his
horse out after us : the animal, however, refused
to thke the water, stoped short, roared, kicked,
and finally threw him among the sand. He had
preserved his grasp of the reins, and, immediate
ly springing up, began whipping the beast with
great violence.
As soon as we got on board the hooker wo
cast off the line that attached it to its grapnel,
and rowed out with all speed to sea. When we
had reached a safe distance we lay upon our
oars, to watch their proceedings. We saw them
first read over, probably by way of form, ono or
two papers. Immediately after they fell to work
and demolished our whole apparatus.
All this while Ormond was riding about the
mill, interfering, directing, and making himself
the busiest of all, appearing to be exulting in
his work with a devilish glee.
And there was I, lying inactive on my oar, a
spectator from a distance, while my lost means
of earning my broad were being annihiliated by
him who had already robbed me of every other
thing—station, wealth, love ! What could I have
done to him that, not content with this, he should
pursue me still with such rancor—persecute me
with such exterminating malignity? I had raised
him from the very dunghill, and sent him to my
own place. Oh, ingratitude! most mortal of the
sins that sink men's souls ! surely from the smoke
of the bottomless pit didst thou draw the deep
dye that blackens thy hideous front !
I felt as if struck dumb. While Quin, my
companion, shrieked oaths and maledictions at
them across the water, I remained mute and calm,
looking on,—but the state of my thoughti du
ring that fearful time I It was as if my whole
mind were not an aggregate of faculties, as you
philosophers will have, but one single dread pas
sion, revenge ! My heart beat slowly and la
boriously—there seemed be be a dull heavy
mass weighing down my bosom—my skin felt
cold—l actually shivered. Then, in the silent
thoughts of my own heart, I prayed to the fiend,
that I felt was there at the time, that he would
glut me to the teeth with vengeance, though I
should perish with the surfeit.
