Incidents in the life of a slave girl.: Written by herself. Edited by L. Maria Child.

Northward Bound.
The next morning I was on deck as soon as the day
dawned. I called Fanny to see the sun rise, for thile
first time in our lives, onl free soil; for such I then believed it to be. We watched the reddening sky, and
saw the great orb comne up slowly out of the water, as
it seemed. Soon the waves began to sparkle, and
every thing caught the beautiful glow. Before us lay
the city of strangers. We looked at each other, and
thie eyes of both were moistened with tears. We had
escaped from slavery, and we supposed ourselves to be
safe from the hunters. But we were alone in the world,
and we had left dear ties behind us; ties cruelly sundered by the demon Slavery.
