W48.1 IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS. 193 *' As soon as your Lieutenant Governor h^-e, received sure infonnation of your majesty's being in the Isle of Wight, he provided this vessd, and messenger to send thither, though the roughness of the weather kept him in nine days, and to bring back the blessed news of your safety, which is the nobost precious concernment in the world ; and upon whi...ch the fate of all good men depends ; and, therefore, we have all great reason to be in pain tiQ we are assmred of it. If your majesty finds that my correspondence with the place where you are, will be endured from this island, and that it may be of any use to your service, care will be taken for vessels frequently from hence thither."
