I he m xt day however, (fliort
ly after Jacklon landed) a boat
marmtd by 11 men, arrived
from the fhipwith four of the
officers, who came to dine with

were put on llioie, the men (who
were not allowed to touch the
wharf) relumedto the ship guar,
dfd by an oircer for their bet
ter fecutiiy, whom they politely
aflifted up Ihe tide of the vt ffel;
and then immmcdiately shoved
off, and rowed with all the
lilength and fwifinefs that hope

bred then item chafer ( the on
