Meantime, as the adventurers were making their way slowly towards the Watergate, they struck upon a hidden obstruction in the river and the deeply laden vessel sprang a leak. In a few minutes those inside were sitting up to their knees in water a circumstance which scarcely improved their already sufficiently dismal condition.
The Watergate was decorated with the escutcheon of Alva, surrounded by his Golden Fleece collar, with its pendant lamb of God; a symbol of blasphemous irony, which still remains upon the fortress, to recal the image of the tyrant and murderer.
It was now four months since "the youthhood" of Derry had shut the Watergate against Lord Antrim's regiment, and established within their walls a strange sort of government, including eighteen clergymen and the town democracy.
"That is a hawk, mother!" Jochebed ran up and down the bank, like a dog whom its master has deserted; she beat her breast, and wept great tears. Steps and voices were audible. "Here is Pharaoh's daughter!" "But the Lord God of Israel is watching over us." The two women hid themselves in the reeds, and Pharaoh's daughter appeared with her attendants at the watergate.
At the angles of the old walls stand the famous towers the Phoenix Tower, Bonwaldesthorne's Tower, Morgan's Mount, the Goblin Tower, and the Water Tower, while the gates in the walls are almost equally famous the Eastgate, Northgate, Watergate, Bridgegate, Newgate, and Peppergate. The ancient Abbey of St. Mary had its site near the castle, and not far away are the picturesque ruins of St.
No quarter and short shrift such was their certain destiny, should that half-crippled, half-frozen little band not succeed in their task before another sunrise. They were now in the outer harbour and not far from the Watergate which led into the inner castle-haven. Presently an officer of the guard put off in a skiff and came on board the vessel.
Miriam, her daughter, pruned the vines which grew against the garden-wall, but seemed to direct her attention more towards the broad walk which led up to the summer palace of the princesses. Her head moved like the leaf of the palm-tree when the wind blows through it, looking sometimes towards the Watergate, sometimes towards the great walk, while her hands carried on her work.
Ha, ha! we go the gait that leaves no dust behind!" "There she blows she blows! she blows! right ahead!" was now the mast-head cry. "Aye, aye!" cried Stubb, "I knew it ye can't escape blow on and split your spout, O whale! the mad fiend himself is after ye! blow your trump blister your lungs! Ahab will dam off your blood, as a miller shuts his watergate upon the stream!"

Under the "Rows" are shops of all sizes, and some of the buildings are grotesquely attractive, especially the curious one bearing the motto of safety from the plague, "God's providence is mine inheritance," standing on Watergate street, and known as "God's Providence House;" and "Bishop Lloyd's Palace," which is ornamented with quaint wood-carvings.
