He walked around outside and he saw the old man on the top window of the castle smoking his pipe. He put his rifle to his shoulder and fired at the light in the top window and he shot the old man through one eye. The lady was in the same room with her father and when she saw him shot she tried to escape. She threw herself out through one of the windows and fell to the ground senseless. When she revived a little she crawled along the shore and rested on a rock and the tide came in around her.
