Note: Translated by an unknown hand first published by Sampson Low in 1887, abridged and edited by I. O. Evans. This translation begins: "'Texar!' That was the hated name that Zermah had shouted into the darkness just as Mrs. Burbank and Alice reached the bank of Marine Creek. The girl had recognized the detestable Spaniard. There could be no doubt he was personally responsible for the kidnapping, and that he was now supervising it."
