Saturday, 24.--We set out at five, and at six came to the sands. But the tide was in, so
that we could not pass: so I sat down in a little cottage for three or four hours and translated
Aldrich's Logic. About ten we passed, and before five came to Baldon Ferry, and found the
boat ready for us; but the boatmen desired us to stay a while, saying, the wind was too high
and the tide too strong. The secret was that they stayed for more passengers; and it was well
they did: for while we were walking to and fro, Mr. Jenkin Morgan came; at whose house,
nearly halfway between the ferry and Holyhead, I had lodged three years before. The night
soon came on, but our guide, knowing all the country, brought us safe to his own door.
