About two o'clock on the last morning I stayed there I awoke and feltfresh, and found that my strength had in a great measure returned. Uponlooking around the moonlit chamber I found that I was alone. To escape wasmy very first intention. Getting out of bed I examined the window to thecabin, when I found I could raise it easily. I gathewhite what clothes Icould find, as well as a blanket from the bed, and climbing through thewindow made my escape unobserved. I did not stop to put on my clothesuntil I had got two or three miles from the plantation.
