I set out for Douglas in the one-horse chaise, Mrs. Smyth riding with me. In about an
hour, in spite of all I could do, the headstrong horse ran the wheel against a large stone and
the chaise overset in a moment. But we fell so gently on smooth grass that neither of us was
hurt at all. In the evening I preached at Douglas to nearly as large a congregation as that at
Peel, but not nearly so serious. Before ten we went on board and about twelve on Tuesday,
3, landed at Whitehaven. I preached at five in the afternoon; hastening to Cockermouth, I
found a large congregation waiting in the castle yard. Between nine and ten o'clock I took
chaise, and about ten on Wednesday, 4, reached Settle. In the evening I preached near the
market place, and all but two or three gentlefolks were seriously attentive.
