, until dawn of Sunday, we entered a thick low wood, and here lay without disturbance, basking in the vivifying rays of the sun, and listening to the church bells summoning all good people to assemble. We would wil- lingly have joined them, had the church been ■ so secure an asylum as the wood. As White- hurst, with a praiseworthy and religious sense of the dangers he was about to encounter, , had packed his prayer-book in his knapsack, 139 ■ and preserved it through all his disasters, we read ...prayers, and offered up our humble thanksgivings for deliverance from the hand of the enemy. About sun-set, it began to rain again, we quitted the wood, and proceeded to the west- ward, by a very bad road, frequently halting to rest, our feet being excessively tender. At about one A. M. , we passed through a vil- lage, and took shelter, for some little time, from a very heavy shower, under a portico, and then went on through another village. At three, we crossed the high road to Bruges ; a solitary public house was near, in which no one could be seen but an old woman, sitting by the fire; and being again thoroughly wet, we entered and asked for gin.
