Tom Faggus also joined us heartily, being now quite healed of his wound, except at times when the wind was easterly.
For although The Warren lies well away to the westward of the mine; and the gold, under escort to Bristowe, or London, would have gone in the other direction; Captain Carfax, finding this place best suited for working of his design, had persuaded the Doones, that for reasons of Government, the ore must go first to Barnstaple for inspection, or something of that sort.
In addition to what I have written, I have just received 10s. and 1l. 9s. 3d. How gracious!" The time from October 6th to the 17th I spent among the brethren at Bideford and Barnstaple, with great refreshment to my own soul, and was also allowed by the Lord to minister to them.

"I thought we'd tell you," said the doctor in his grimmest fashion, "we're going to find out a school where there are no holidays, and send you there." But they did not, for in due time we went back to Barnstaple, and I had the last of my education there.
