and　madam　in　a　fright。〃
  They　went　swiftly　down　to　the　little　harbour；　and　embarked　on　board
  Ellis's　boat。　　The　sea　heaved　and　rocked　even　there；　the　torn　clouds
  went　hurrying　overhead　in　a　wild　tumultuous　manner。
  They　put　out　into　the　bay；　still　in　silence；　except　when　some　word　of
  command　was　spoken　by　Ellis；　who　took　the　management　of　the　vessel。
  They　made　for　the　rocky　shore；　where　Owen's　boat　had　been　moored。　　It
  was　not　there。　　It　had　broken　loose　and　disappeared。
  Owen　sat　down　and　covered　his　face。　　This　last　event；　so　simple　and
  natural　in　itself；　struck　on　his　excited　and　superstitious　mind　in　an
  extraordinary　manner。　　He　had　hoped　for　a　certain　reconciliation；　so
  to　say；　by　laying　his　father　and　his　child　both　in　one　grave。　　But
  now　it　appeared　to　him　as　if　there　was　to　be　no　forgiveness；　as　if
  his　father　revolted　even　in　death　against　any　such　peaceful　union。
  Ellis　took　a　practical　view　of　the　case。　　If　the　Squire's　body　was
  found　drifting　about　in　a　boat　known　to　belong　to　his　son；　it　would
  create　terrible　suspicion　as　to　the　manner　of　his　death。　　At　one　time
  in　the　evening；　Ellis　had　thought　of　persuading　Owen　to　let　him　bury
  the　Squire　in　a　sailor's　grave；　or；　in　other　words；　to　sew　him　up　in
  a　spare　sail；　and　weighting　it　well；　sink　it　for　ever。　　He　had　not
  broached　the　subject；　from　a　certain　fear　of　Owen's　passionate
  repugnance　to　the　plan；　otherwise；　if　he　had　consented；　they　might
  have　returned　to　Penmorfa；　and　passively　awaited　the　course　of
  events；　secure　of　Owen's　succession　to　Bodowen；　sooner　or　later；　or
  if　Owen　was　too　much　overwhelmed　by　what　had　happened；　Ellis　would
  have　advised　him　to　go　away　for　a　short　time；　and　return　when　the
  buzz　and　the　talk　was　over。
  Now　it　was　different。　　It　was　absolutely　necessary　that　they　should
  leave　the　country　for　a　time。　　Through　those　stormy　waters　they　must
  plough　their　way　that　very　night。　　Ellis　had　no　fearwould　have　had
  no　fear；　at　any　rate；　with　Owen　as　he　had　been　a　week；　a　day　ago；　but
  with　Owen　wild；　despairing；　helpless；　fate…pursued；　what　could　he　do？
  They　sailed　into　the　tossing　darkness；　and　were　never　more　seen　of
  men。
  The　house　of　Bodowen　has　sunk　into　damp；　dark　ruins；　and　a　Saxon
  stranger　holds　the　lands　of　the　Griffiths。
