Finding that there was no hope of help from France or Germany or England, the WILLIAM THE SILENT Dutch made an alliance with the ocean. Holland lay below the level of the sea, which was kept back by great banks of earth called dikes. When Leyden was besieged, and Spanish camps surrounded the city so that no food could be brought in, and plague and famine were within the walls, William cut the dikes. In came the ocean upon the land, and with it came the relieving ships, floating for six miles ov...er the farms. The besiegers were drowned out, and the city was saved.
The war lasted forty years, till the treaty of peace in 1609. William did not see the end of it. He had been in constant peril of assassins. Again and again, men had been hired by Philip to kill him. Once he was saved by the barking of his little dog. Once he was shot in the face, but not fatally. At last, a man named Gerard Balthazar pretended to be a Prot- estant, begged money from William to relieve his poverty, bought two pistols WILLIAM THE SILENT i with the money, hid himself in William's house at Delft, and murdered him one day as he came out from dinner.
