The plot was discovered; the ring-leader, tied by the two thumbs over the barricade door, at sun-rise received a number of lashes: in this situation he remained till sun-set, exposed to the insults and barbarity of the brutal crew of sailors, with full leave to exercise their cruelty at pleasure.

"And yet he is assuredly Barbesieur Louvois," laughed the Prince de Conti. "Well we shall see," was the reply.
