I took boat at about half an hour past five. Many of the mob waited at the end of the
town, who, seeing me escaped out of their hands, could only revenge themselves with their
tongues. But a few of the fiercest ran along the shore, to receive me at my landing. I walked
up the steep narrow passage from the sea, at the top of which the foremost man stood. I
looked him in the face and said, “I wish you a good night.” He spake not nor moved hand
or foot till I was on horseback. Then he said, “I wish you were in hell,” and turned back to
his companions.
