said they would kill an American and a Briton on Tuesday

unless their demands were met,

a day after they released

footage showing them severing the head of another U.S. hostage.

In a video tape of Mr Johnson released on Tuesday night,

the kidnappers said they would kill him in three days

unless the Saudi government released all the militants in its prisons.

The Saudis rejected the demand.

Washington said it would use every appropriate resource to gain Johnson's release

but would make no concessions.

‘So much we know, and the rest may be found out. I do not mean at all to say that he should be allowed to have his own way. I think too much of my sister for that.

But, in this matter, we ought to regard simply her happiness and her welfare;—and in considering that you ought to be prepared for her coming marriage.

You may take it for granted that she will choose to give herself, sooner or later, to some man.

Give a girl good looks, and good sense, and good health,

and she is sure to wish to be some man’s wife,

—unless she be deterred by some conventual superstition.’
