The day passed over in great commotion, as a report had been circulated that a British fleet was outside, waiting below for a fair wind to come up and bombard the city. This report originated in the exaggerated story of some fishermen, who had seen two vessels, the Grey- ADMIRAL LOWE. 73 hound and Merry Christmas at anchor, but not within sight of eaqh other. At last the day wore away, and no British were to be seen, so the quiet burghers very pleasantly laid by the old muskets which they had s...houldered all day, strutting up and down, like so many pen- guins, and betook themselves to the never- failing pipes, sitting on their pleasant little stoopes, and conversing across the way ; one recounting to his neighbour how many of the British he woulcbhave killed, if they had come ! while his auditor listened, in astonishment, at the recital of his neighbour's valour. At length the day declined, and once more night assumed her sway. Dame Bonny's little tap-room was crowded with its usual compliment of idlers, taking their quantum sufficit of Schnaps, and discuss- ing the stirring topics of the day.
