Mary's on the Gambia on the 28th of the same month. Both travellers were somewhat indisposed during the voyage, and the sun after their arrival so seriously affected Mr. Tyrwhitt, that he here yielded to the repeated representations of his companion and others, and returned home. The following is an extract of a letter received from Mr.
Hume says: "They had probably kept back far more than they told." Even Tyrwhitt believed that there was a secret compact between them, for he said, quaintly: "They all sing one song, and she hath set the note for them." Soon after this her brother Edward's death brought to the throne her elder sister, Mary, who has harshly become known as Bloody Mary.
And here, you will note, begins the story of William Tyrwhitt, who would linger yet a few days in that hanging garden of the south coast, and who would pull himself together and collect matter for "copy." He found a very good subject that first evening of his solitude. I was to leave in the afternoon, and the morning we spent in aimlessly rambling about the town.
Threats and flattery and forged letters and false confessions were tried on her; but they were tried in vain. She would tell nothing of importance. She denied everything. She sulked, she cried, she availed herself of a woman's favorite defense in suddenly attacking those who had attacked her. She brought counter charges against Tyrwhitt, and put her enemies on their own defense.
There is a reason, too, for that; the honours and emoluments are in the gift of the Crown; the nation has no separate treasury to reward its friends. If Mr. Tyrwhitt has opened his eyes to Chatterton's forgeries, there is an instance of conviction against strong prejudice!

He was in his shirt-sleeves, without coat or vest; and I noticed that his dirty lawn was oddly plaited in front, and that about his ample paunch was buckled a broad belt of leather. Greased hip-boots encased his lower limbs, and the heels of these were drawn together as he bowed. William Tyrwhitt a master of nervous English muttered "Great Scott!" under his breath. I shook my head.
The call was picked up by Goodenough himself, who brought his remaining four ships to Keyes' assistance; but when these appeared, Keyes thought that he had to deal with four enemies more! Tyrwhitt was also drawn backward by the alarm. Luckily the situation was cleared up without serious consequences. German cruisers, darting out of the Ems and the Jade, were now entering the fray.
On Sir Thomas Tyrwhitt attempting to console him, and saying that it was the anchovies that had spoiled the taste of the connoisseurs, the general said loudly enough to be heard by Lord Yarmouth, "No; it was the confounded red herrings." A duel was very nearly the consequence.
The actual material of the latest of my commands brought hither and adapted to the exigencies of shore life. It enables me to live eternally in the past a most satisfying illusion. Come to-night and have a pipe and a glass with me." I thought William Tyrwhitt mad. "I will come, by all means," he said. The stranger bowed us out of the room. "That is right," he exclaimed. "You will find me here.
