Friday, 23.--Before we looked out, we heard the roaring of the wind and the beating of
the rain. We took horse at five. It rained incessantly all the way we rode. And when we came
on the great mountain, four miles from the town (by which time I was wet from my neck
to my waist), it was with great difficulty I could avoid being borne over my mare's head, the
wind being ready to carry us all away: nevertheless, about ten we came safe to Dannabull,
praising Him who saves both man and beast.
Our horses being well tired and ourselves thoroughly wet, we rested the remainder of the day; the rather, because several of the family understood English--an uncommon thing in these parts. We spoke closely to these, and they appeared much affected, particularly when we all joined in prayer.
