Next Day the two Ships landed 200 Men, under the Cover of their Canon; but that Precaution of bringing their Ships close to the Shore they found needless; not a soul appearing, they march'd two Leagues up the Country, when they saw a Body of Men appear behind some Shrubs; Caraccioli's Lieutenant, who commanded the right Wing, with fifty Men made up to them, but found he had got among Pit Falls artificially cover'd, several of his Men falling into them, which made him halt, and not pursue those Mohilians who made a feint Retreat to ensnare him, thinking it dangerous to proceed farther; and seeing no Enemy would face them, they retired the same Way they came, and getting into their Boats, went on Board the Ships, resolving to return with a strong Reinforcement, and make Descents at one and the same Time in different Parts of the Island.
The men are march'd up in close proximity. The clerk calls off name after name, and each walks up, receives his money, and passes along out of the way. That distinguish'd personage steps from the ranks, in the shape of a very black man, good sized and shaped, and aged about 30, with a military mustache; he takes his "ten three," and goes off evidently well pleas'd. Now another company.
Early the next morning therefore we march'd to sea-ward, where with the less difficulty we got on board the ship, because we were no strangers to Lycas's servants then in wait upon her: They still honouring us with their company, it was not a time to filch any thing; but, leaving Gito with them, I took an opportunity of getting into the stern, where the image of Isis stood, and strip'd her of a rich mantle, and silver taber, lifting other good booty out of the master's cabin, I stole down by a rope, unseen by any but Gito; who also gave them the slip and sculk'd after me.
O goodly feast for this one poor eye! Oh, that Master Tingcomb had seen this day!" I declare the tears were running down his nose; but Delia march'd out, cutting short his hypocrisy. In the passage she whisper'd "Villainy, Jack!" "Hush!" I answered, "and listen: Master Tingcomb is no more in that coffin than I." "Then where is he?" "That is just what we are to discover."
I took upon me, & said it was not civill so narrowly to examine my people; they excus'd it, & the tyde being com in, I took leave to be gon. The Governor & Captain divided my provisions, & having made a signe unto my 2 men to rise out of their ambush, I came out of the shipp, & wee march'd all of us unto the place where wee left our Canoo.
There is probably more human electricity, more population to make it, more business, more light-heartedness, than ever before. The armies that swiftly circumambiated from Fredericksburgh march'd, struggled, fought, had out their mighty clinch and hurl at Gettysburg wheel'd, circumambiated again, return'd to their ways, touching us not, either at their going or coming.
"How has it gone?" asked I. "Well," says he, with his nose in the boot; "we had a pretty rising ground, and the Cornishmen march'd up and whipp'd us out that's all and took a mort o' prisoners." He found the prickle, drew on his boot again, and asked "T'other side?" I nodded. "That's the laughing side, this day. Good evening." And with that he went off as fast as he came.
Wadman's door, they both faced about and march'd down the avenue diametrically opposite to his expectation he broke out at once with that little subacid soreness of humour, which, in certain situations, distinguished his character from that of all other men. 'Now what can their two noddles be about? cried my father...&c.... I dare say, said my mother, they are making fortifications Not on Mrs.
I adventur'd to pass, & I doubled the point in a canoo of bark, though the Ice was so thick that wee drew our canoo over it. Being enter'd the River, I march'd along the South Shore & got safe to the fort of the Island with great difficulty. I found the shipp lying dry, as I mention'd before, in a bad condition, but easily remedy'd, the stern being only a litle broke.
That were plated with iron within and without Whence an army in battle array had march'd out. They were like the gates of a cathedral, and they began slowly to swing backward on their hinges.
