He knew it was high treason to collect or copy any Japanese curiosities, and therefore got duplicates of everything and let himself and his collection be seized, while his servant escaped to Europe with the counterpart. He was seven years in imprisonment, and suffered severely from the confinement and from having been bastinadoed. Indeed he never recovered from the effects of that torture.
We also visited the great flood-gates at Katwyk, as well as the salt-works, the salt being extracted from ...the sea-water by evaporation. The old Rhine flows into the North Sea at Katwyk, and in olden times that part of the country was continually under water. In the seventeenth century the channel was deepened and the great sluices were made. They were self-acting, closing and opening with the rising and falling tide. The whole time we were at the Hague the subject of making similar flood-gates at Scheveningen was being mooted. It 'was merely for the purpose of having an outlet for the canals ; and one large one had been completed for that purpose to within three-quarters of a mile of the sea.
