Saturday, 15--We went on board; at six, the wind then standing due east. But no sooner
were we out of the harbor than it turned southwest and blew a storm. Yet we made forward,
and about one o'clock came within two or three leagues of land. The wind then wholly failed;
a calm suddenly following a storm produced such a motion as I never felt before. But it was
not long before the wind sprang up west, which obliged us to stand away for the Skerries.
When we wanted a league of shore it fell calm again, so that there we rolled about till past
sunset.
But in the night we got back into Dublin Bay and landed soon after three at Dunleary, about seven English miles from the city. Leaving William Tucker to follow me in a chaise, I walked straight away and came to Skinner's Alley a little before the time of preaching. I preached on "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another" [I John 4:11]. In the afternoon and again in the evening (in our own garden), I preached on "Let us come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need" [Heb. 7:25].
