Donohue, of the 18th, while out in command of a foraging party, on the road leading to Chippewa, came up with the enemy's scouts, who fled at his approach. Later in the afternoon, Col. Hoy was sent with one hundred men in the same road. He also came up with some scouts about six miles from camp. Here he was ordered to halt.
Upon a suddaine motion I took my wife, and Sarah and Will by water, with some victuals with us, as low as Gravesend, intending to have gone into the Hope to the Royal James, to have seen the ship and Mr. Shepley, but meeting Mr. Shepley in a hoy, bringing up my Lord's things, she and I went on board, and sailed up with them as far as half-way tree, very glad to see Mr. Shepley.
The only evidence that we have of Lamb knowing Worthing is his "Mr. H.". That play turns upon the name Hogsflesh, afterwards changed to Bacon. H." in Vol. Many years ago. A little later Lamb says he was then fifteen. This would make the year 1790. Thou old Margate Hoy. This old sailing-boat gave way to a steam-boat, the Thames, some time after 1815.
"Mis' Leigh, ahoy!" roared the gunner. "Leigh hoy!" was the response. "Told you so, my lads; he ar'n't about here. Let's go further on. Now then, Tom Tully, we must have off some o' that there tail if it's so heavy it keeps you anchored down. Get up, will you?"
In half an hour, the broken entente cordiale was restored, and Johnstone had slipped away and questioned the wary Ram Lal.

She went without a word, and gave me three hundred pounds yesternight, for her rent and supplies. I asked the Mem-Sahib no questions.
"Thou shouldstna sit that side then," said the wheelwright. "Hoy, Dave!" shouted Dick Winthorpe.
I will draw it out this moment, and take it over to the commandant, who will, I am sure, countersign it at once. Which way do you think of going?" "I think I will go by the coach, that comes along here at twelve o'clock, to Dover; that is, if I see in the paper that there is any hoy sailing for the west this evening or to-morrow.
Of course I could not tell him, but I knew very well that the bridge was not safe. Just then the man at the toll-gate on the other side ran out of the house, tossing a torch about like one mad. "Hoy, hoy, hoy! halloo! stop!" he cried. "What's the matter?" shouted my master. "The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away; if you come on you'll be into the river."
Quantrell, James Little, Hoy, Stephen Shores and myself held the upper story, Jarrette, George Shepherd, Toler and others the lower. Anxious to see who their prisoners were, the militiamen exposed themselves imprudently, and it cost them six. Would they permit Major Tate’s family to escape? Yes.
Then the great headland of Hoy loomed into sight, its yellow and red cliffs gleaming across the water as if sunshine always bathed them. From the deck, as we sailed blithely along, I watched the billows rolling landward and dashing upon the hard rocks, resounding with thunderous noise among the hollow chasms.
