PROLOGUE.

Zarifa, the daughter of a wealthy Spaniard, is with her father on a visit to St. Augustine. While there she becomes enamoured of Lieut. Effingham of the American Navy. Her father, opposed to their union, sends for Morales, to whom he intends betrothing her. Morales arrives on the night on which they are to be privately married; Effingham is assassinated by bravos. The Lady and her Father escape. Zarifa, loving Effingham too tenderly, is in a situation of great delicacy; this discovery breaks the father's heart. By way of making amends to Morales for wrong done him, the father bequeaths his estate to him, on condition of Zarifa's refusal to marry him — if he (Morales) should desire their union — and provided no union takes place between Zarifa and Effingham within the period of five years from the date of his will. The time of the play is twelve hours. The scene is laid at Timulté, on the Tobasco river, in Mexico, during the arrival of the fleet of Commodore Perry.
