The Duke, finding concealment impracticable, divested himself of his beard, and privately informed the Mayor who he really was : — he was going, he said, in his capacity of Lord High Admiral, to acquaint himself secretly with the condition and discipline of the fleet. His identity was easily proved, and the adventurers were allowed to proceed. A boy, who rode post with their baggage, had also recognised their persons, but the silence of this individual was not very difficult to be purchased.* T...he next accident which happened to them, was encountering the French ambassador, (who was, of course, well acquainted with their persons,) on the brow of the hill, beyond Eochester. Their horses, however, though merely hired at the last post, were fortunately able to leap the hedge by the road-side, and thus enabled them to escape observation. This circumstance was the more fortunate, inasmuch as the ambassador, (as was then usual,) was travelling in one of the King's coaches ; and their recognition by some of the royal servants must consequently have been inevitable.
