Not an Indian was seen on the shore.

The next day they arrived at Paul's old camping ground, and after resting there a few hours they started for Fort Frederick, a short distance below.

A small schooner lay at anchor immediately below the fort.
Margaret and her husband lost no time in going on board.

The Captain of the schooner said that his vessel would sail for Port Royal, if there were sufficient wind, early the next day.
