The ship must in all probability have overset, had not the wind fell as suddenly as it rose. Toward the end of it, we had that appearance on each of the masts, which it is thought the ancients called Castor and Pollux. It was a small ball of white fire, like a star. The mariners say, it appears either in a storm and then commonly upon the deck or just at the end of it: In the evening lesson were these words, A great door and effectual is opened.

O let no one shut it! We cast anchor near Tybee-island, where the groves of pines, running along the shore, made an agreeable prospect, shewing as it were, the bloom of spring, in the depth of winter. About eight in the morning, we first set foot on American ground. It was a small uninhabited island, over against Tybee. Oglethorpe led us to a rising ground, where we all kneeled down to give thanks.

He then took boat for Savannah. When the rest of the people were come on shore, we called our little flock together to prayers. Several parts of the second lesson, Mark. Spangenberg, one of the pastors of the Germans. I soon found what spirit he was of; and asked his advice with regard to my own conduct. He said, My brother, I must first ask you one or two questions. Does the Spirit of God bear witness with your spirit, that you are a child of God?

He observed it, and asked, "Do you know Jesus Christ? The substance of his answers was this. I immediately threw aside all my learning, but what tended to save my soul. For three days I had much comfort here; but on the fourth it was all gone. I was amazed, and went for advice to an experienced Christian. When I came to him, I could not speak. But he saw my heart, and advised me to go back to my house, and follow the business providence called me to. I went back, but was fit for nothing. I could neither do business, nor join in any conversation. All I could say to any one, was Yes, or No.

Many times I could not say that, nor understand the plainest thing that was said to me. My friends and acquaintance looked upon me as dead, came no more to me, nor spoke about me. Others joining with me, we taught more and more, till there were above thirty teachers and above two hundred scholars. I had now invitations to other universities.

To Mrs. Sophia Williamson.

But I could not accept of any: I had spent some years thus, when professor Breithaupt of Halle died: I did so, and retired to Hernhuth, to Count Zinzendorf. I asked, "Whither he was to go next? But what God will do with me, I know not. I am a child. My father knows, and I am ready to go wherever he calls. Some of the Indians sent us word of their intention to come down to us. In our course of reading to day, were these words; Thus saith the Lord of hosts, It shall yet come to pass that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities.

I will go also. Yea many people and strong nations, shall come to seek the Lord of hosts, and to pray before him. As soon as we came in, they all rose, and shook us by the hand, and Tomo-Chachi one Mrs. Musgrove intepreted spoke as follows. And my nation then desired to hear it. But now we are all in confusion. Yet I am glad you are come. I will go up and speak to the wise men of our nation. And I hope they will hear. I answered, "There is but one, he that sitteth in heaven, who is able to teach man wisdom. Another party of Indians came.

He took with him 50 men; besides Mr. Hermsdorf and the three Indians. Coming back, we waited upon Mr. Causton, the chief magistrate of Savannah. From him we went with Mr. Mary Welch, aged eleven days, was baptized according to the custom of the first church, and the rule of the church of England. The child was ill then, but recovered from that hour. In the evening I went to Savannah again, whence Mr. Musgrove's, to chuse a spot for the little house which Mr. Oglethorpe had promised to build us. Being afterward disappointed of our boat, we were obliged to pass the night there.

At our return the next day Mr. Quincy being then in the house wherein we afterwards were Mr. We had now an opportunity day by day, of observing their whole behaviour. For we were in one room with them from morning to night, unless for the little time I spent in walking. They were always employed, always chearful themselves, and in good humour with one another. They had put away all anger and strife, and wrath and bitterness and clamour, and evil-speaking.

They met to consult concerning the affairs of their church: After several hours spent in conference and prayer, they proceeded to the election and ordination of a bishop. From him we went to public prayers: But who knoweth the mercy and power of God? From ten friends I am a while secluded: About four, having taken leave of Mr.

His father died while he was a child. Some years after he told his mother, he was desirous to leave Swisserland, and to retire into some other country, where he might be free from the temptations which he could not avoid there. He was provided with money, books and drugs, intending to follow his father's profession. He then left him in a strange country, where he could not speak to be understood, without necessaries, money or friends. In this condition he thought it best to sell himself for a servant, which he accordingly did, for seven years.

He then went and lived with an anabaptist: I entered upon my ministry at Savannah, by preaching on the epistle for the day, being the 13th of the first Corinthians. Verily I say unto you, there is no man that hath left house, or friends, or brethren, or wife, or children for the kingdom of God's sake, which shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come everlasting life. I could hardly believe that the greater, the far greater part of this attentive, serious people, would hereafter trample under foot that word, and say all manner of evil falsely of him that spake it.

Jesus, Master, have mercy on us! This evening one of the Germans, who had been long ill of a consumption, found himself much worse. On my mentioning it to bishop Nitschman he smiled and said, "He will soon be well; he is ready for the bridegroom. Which of these will endure to the end? Quincy going for Carolina, I removed into the minister's house. Perhaps to be no more seen!

A servant of Mr. Going to him, I found a young man ill, but perfectly sensible. He desired the rest to go out, and then said, "On Thursday night, about eleven, being in bed, but broad awake, I heard one calling aloud "Peter! The next day Mr. Delamotte and I began to try, whether life might not as well be sustained, by one sort as by a variety of food. We chose to make the experiment with bread; and were never more vigorous and healthy than while we tasted nothing else.

Who whether they eat or drink, or whatever they do, have no end therein but to please God! To them all things are pure. Every creature is good to them, and nothing to be rejected. But let them who know and feel, that they are not thus pure, use every help and remove every hindrance: About four in the afternoon, I set out for Frederica, in a Pettiawga a sort of flat-bottomed barge. The next evening we anchored near Skidoway island, where the water at flood was twelve or fourteen feet deep.

I wrapt myself up from head to foot, in a large cloak, to keep off the sand-flies, and lay down on the quarter-deck. Between one and two I waked under water, being so fast asleep that I did not find where I was till my mouth was full of it. Having left my cloak, I know not how upon deck, I swam round to the other side of the Pettiawga, where a boat was tied, and climbed up by the rope, without any hurt, more than wetting my cloaths. The winds were so contrary, that on Sat.

A little before we landed, I opened my Testament on these words, If God be for us, who can be against us? Coming on shore, I found my brother exceeding weak, having been for some time ill of a flux. But he mended from the hour he saw me. This also hath God wrought! And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? In every one of the six following days, I had some fresh proofs of the absolute necessity of following that wise advice of the apostle, Judge nothing before the time; until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts.

We set out for Savannah, and reached it on Tuesday evening. O blessed place, where having but one end in view, dissembling and fraud are not: Not finding as yet any door open, for the pursuing our main design, we considered, in what manner we might be most useful to the little flock at Savannah.

And we agreed, 1st. I was asked to baptize a child of Mr. Parker's, second bailiff of Savannah. Parker told me, "Neither Mr. So I went home; and the child was baptized by another person. I began dividing the public prayers, according to the original appointment of the church still observed in a few places in England. The morning service began at five.

And this day I began reading prayers in the Court-house; a large and convenient place. After some conversation, we consulted how the poor people there might be taken care of, during his absence. And it was at last agreed, that Mr. But it pleased God to bring us safe to the other side in half an hour, and to Frederica the next morning. We had public prayers at nine, at which nineteen persons were present; and I think nine communicants. I read the commendatory prayer by Mr. Germain, who lay at the point of death. He had lost his speech and his senses.

At the first service on Sund. The next day, I made Mr Lassel's will; who notwithstanding his great weakness, was quite revived, when any mention was made of death, or of eternity. I asked him, what he thought of paradise to which he had said he was going? But I don't mind that.

I don't care what place I am in. Let God put me where he will, or do with me what he will, so I may but set forth his honour and glory. Being ascension-day, we had the holy communion; but only Mr. Hird's family joined with us in it. Lassel, and asking how he did, "My departure said he I hope is at hand. I desire no more of this bad world. My hope and my joy and my love is there. I would be humble. I would be the humblest creature living. My heart is humble and broken for my sins. Tell me, teach me, what shall I do to please God. I would fain do whatever is his will. I will gladly suffer whatever pleases him.

Finding him weaker, I asked, "Do you still desire to die? His will be done. Let him work his will, in my life, or in my death.

We began to execute at Frederica what we had before agreed to do at Savannah. This evening we had only Mark Hird. But on Sunday Mr. Hird, and two more desired to be admitted. After a psalm and a little conversation, I read Mr. Yet this is our case. You are going to a county, where every one speaks the love of God. They converse with none who do not understand it. I am sent from God to teach you this. A few days are allotted us for that purpose. Would it then be well done in me, because I was pleased with your company, to spend this short time in trifling, and teach you nothing of what I came for?

Of the two extremes, this is the best. Another little company of us met, Mr. We sung, read a little of Mr. Law, and then conversed. Wednesdays and Fridays were the days we fixed for constant meeting. Oglethorpe returned from the south, and gave orders on Sunday the 20th, that none should profane the day as was usual before by fishing or fowling upon it. In the afternoon I summed up what I had seen or heard at Frederica, inconsistent with christianity, and consequently with the prosperity of the place. The event was as it ought: This day, at half an hour past ten, God heard the prayer of his servant, and Mr.

Lassel, according to his desire, was dissolved that he might be with Christ. Observing much coldness in Mr. Therefore I will never hear you more. And all the people are of my mind. For we won't hear ourselves abused. But as for you, they cannot tell what religion you are of. They never heard of such a religion before. They do not know what to make of it. And then, your private behaviour. Indeed there is neither man nor woman in the town, who minds a word you say. And so you may preach long enough; but nobody will come to hear you. He was too warm for hearing an answer. I had a long conversation with Mr.

But I afterwards found they were never the better, and I myself was the worse. Therefore now, though I always strive to be inoffensive in my conversation, I do not strive to make people religious, unless those that have a desire to be so, and are consequently willing to hear me.

But I have not yet I speak not of you, or your brother found one such person in America. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear! Mark the tendency of this accursed principle! If you will speak only to those who are willing to hear, see how many you will turn from the error of their ways!

So did the Lord of life. Even HIS word was the savour of death, as well as the savour of life.

But shall he therefore strive no more? Being to leave Frederica in the evening, I took the more notice of these words in the lesson for the day. Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? For John the baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, He hath a devil. About eleven at night we took boat. O what de we want here, either for life or godliness!

If suffering, God will send it in his time. About twenty joined with us in morning prayer. But upon my informing Mr. Oglethorpe of our design, he objected, not only the danger of being intercepted, or killed by the French there; but much more, the inexpediency of leaving Savannah destitute of a minister. These objections I related to our brethren in the evening, who were all of opinion, "We ought not to go yet. The Indians had an audience, and another on Saturday, when Chicali, their head-man, dined with Mr.

After dinner, I asked the grey-headed old man, "What he thought he was made for? We are in the dark. But white men know much. And yet white men build great houses, as if they were to live for ever. But white men cannot live for ever. In a little time, white men will be dust as well as I. But neither we nor you can understand that book, unless we are taught y him that is above: He will not teach us, while our hearts are not white. And our men do what they know is not good. They kill their own children. And our women do what they know is not good.

They kill the child before it is born. Hearing the younger of the Miss Boveys was not well, I called upon them this evening. And, whether they might not defer it ten or a dozen years? But meeting company there, prudence induced me to put it off till another opportunity. And little stress is to be laid on such a preparation for death, as is made in a sit of sickness.

Just as they had done drinking tea, Mrs. Margaret seeing her colour change, asked, if she was well? She did not return any answer; and Dr. Your sister is dying. She bled about an ounce, leaned back and died. As soon as I heard of it, I went to the house, and begged they would not lay her out immediately, there being a possibility, at least, she might only be in a swoon: I never saw so beautiful a corpse in my life.

Poor comfort to its late inhabitant! I was greatly surprized at her sister. There was in all her behaviour, such an inexpressible mixture of tenderness and resignation. I have lost not only a sister, but a friend. But it is the will of God. I rely on him; and doubt not but he will support me under it.

Product details

This evening we had such a storm of thunder and lightning, as I never saw before even in Georgia. This voice of God too, told me I was not fit to die; since I was afraid, rather than desirous of it! O when shall I wish to be dissolved and to be with Christ! When I love him with all my heart. Almost the whole town was the next evening at the funeral: O how little trace of most of these will be left in the morning! Five of the Chicasaw Indians twenty of whom had been in Savannah several days came to see us, with Mr.

They were all warriors; four of them head men. The two chiefs were Paustoobee and Mingo Mattaw. Our conference was as follows:. Paustoobee answered, We believe there are four beloved things above, the clouds, the sun, the clear sky, and he that lives in the clear sky. Do you think he made the sun, and the other beloved things? Many bullets have gone on this side, and many on that side, but he would never let them hurt me.

And many bullets have gone into these young men; and yet they are alive? Yes, but we know not, if he will. We have now so many enemies round about us, that I think of nothing but death. And if I am to die, I shall die, and I will die like a man. But if he will have me to live I shall live.

From what I have seen. When our enemies came against us before, then the beloved clouds came for us. And often much rain, and sometimes hail has come upon them, and that in a very hot day. And I saw, when many French and Choctaws and other nations came against one of our towns. And the ground made a noise under them, and the beloved ones in the air behind them. And they were afraid, and went away, and left their meat and drink and their guns. I tell no lie.

All these saw it too. The night before I dreamed, I heard many drums up there: Till then I thought we should all die. But then I thought the beloved ones were come to help us. And the next day I heard above a hundred guns go off, before the fight began. And I said, "When the sun is there, the beloved ones will help us; and we shall conquer our enemies. We think of them always, wherever we are. We believe the souls of red men walk up and down near the place where they died, or where their bodies lie.

Our belief is, that the souls of bad men only walk up and down; but the souls of good men go up. They said at the burying, "They knew what you was doing. You was speaking to the beloved ones above, to take up the soul of the young woman. We have a book that tells us many things of the beloved ones above, would you be glad to know them? They told Mr O. They believe the time will come, when the red and white men will be one. We see you go about. As soon as ever the ground was sound, and fit to stand upon, it came to us, and has been with us ever since.

But we are young men. Our old men know more. But all of them do not know. There are but a few; whom the beloved one chuses from a child, and is in them, and takes care of them, and teaches them. They know these things: But I do not practise. Therefore I know little. My brother and I set out for Charleston, in order to his embarking for England. But the wind being contrary, we did not reach Port.

Royal, 40 miles from Savannah, till Wednesday evening. The next morning we left it. But the wind was so high in the afternoon, as we were crossing the neck of St. Helena's sound, that our oldest sailor cried out "Now every one must take care for himself. But, How is it that thou hadst no faith? The moment the mast fell, two men caught it and pulled it into the boat; the other three rowed with all their might, and God gave command to the wind and seas, so that in an hour we were safe on land. We came to Charleston.

The church is of brick, but plaistered over like stone. I was glad to see several negroes at church, one of whom told me, "She was there constantly; and that her old mistress now dead had many times instructed her in the Christian religion. I asked her, "What religion was?

Something you cannot see or feel? Are they not over all thy works? I set out for the lieutenant governor's seat, about thirty miles from Charleston, to deliver Mr. It stands very pleasant, on a little hill, with a vale on either side, in one of which is a thick wood; the other is planted with rice and Indian corn.

I designed to have gone back by Mr. Skeene's, who has about fifty Christian negroes. I had sent the boat we came in back to Savannah, expecting a passage thither myself in Col. Belinger not only provided me a horse, but rode with me himself ten miles, and sent his son with me to Cumbee-ferry twenty miles farther? We took boat in the morning; but the wind being contrary, and very high, did not reach Savannah till Sunday in the afternoon.

In walking to Thunderbolt, I was in so heavy a shower, that all my cloaths were as wet as if I had gone through the river. I have been throughly wet with these rains more than once; yet without any harm at all. And I have lain many nights in the open air, and received all the dews that fell. At Thunderbolt we took boat, and on Friday, Aug, The next day he set out for Fort St.

I set apart out of the few we had a few books towards a library at Frederica. In the afternoon I walked to the fort on the other side of the island. About five we set out homeward. We walked on however as well as we could, till between nine and ten, when being heartily tired, and throughly wet with dew, we lay down and slept till morning. About day-break, on Sunday the 29th, we set out again endeavouring to walk straight forward, and soon after sun-rise found ourselves in the Great Savannah near Frederica.

I began reading with Mr. I once thought more highly than I ought to think the apostolical canons; so called, as bishop Beveridge observes, because partly grounded upon, partly agreeing with, the traditions delivered down from the apostles. They contain the discipline used in the church at the time when they were collected: We considered if any thing could yet be done, for the poor people of Frederica.

And I submitted to the judgment of my friends, which was, that I should take another journey thither: I came thither on Sat. The morning and evening prayers, which were read for a while after my leaving the place, had been long discontinued, and from that time every thing grew worse and worse: I cried to God to arise and maintain his own cause: Finding there were several Germans at Frederica, who not understanding the English tongue, could not join in our public service, I desired them to meet me at my house; which they did every day at noon from thence forward.

We first sung a German hymn, then I read a chapter in the New Testament, then explained it to them as well as I could. After another hymn we concluded with prayer. Therefore I cannot conceive that appointment to lay me under any obligation of continuing there, any longer than till a door is opened to the Heathens; and this I expressly declared, at the time I consented to accept of that appointment.

Delamotte and I, with a guide, set out to walk to the Cowpens; when we had walked two or three hours, our guide told us plainly, "He did not know where we were. There fell a heavy dew in the night, which covered us over as white as snow. Within an hour after sun-rise, we came to a plantation, and in the evening, without any hurt to Savannah. We set out by land with a better guide for Frederica. On Wednesday evening we came to Fort-Argyle, on the back of the river Ogeechy. We made a fire on the bank, and notwithstanding the rain, slept quietly till the morning.

Our provisions fell short, our journey being longer than we expected: M c Leod, is a serious, resolute, and I hope a pious man. On Monday evening we left Darien, and on Wed. Most here were as we expected, cold and heartless: Let them not yet follow their own imaginations! After having beaten the air in this unhappy place for twenty days, on January 26, I took my final leave of Frederica. It was not any apprehension of my own danger though my life had been threatened many times but an utter despair of doing good there, which made me content with the thought of seeing it no more.

In my passage home, having procured a celebrated book, the works of Nicholas Machiavel, I set myself carefully to read and consider it. I began with a prejudice in his favour; having been informed, he had often been misunderstood, and greatly misrepresented. I weighed the sentiments that were less common; transcribed the passages wherein they were contained; compared one passage with another, and endeavoured to form a cool, impartial judgment. And my cool judgment is, that if all the other doctrines of devils which have been committed to writing, since letters were in the world, were collected together in one volume, it would fall short of this: We came to Savannah.

It was agreed Mr. Ingham should go for England, and endeavour to bring over if it should please God some of our friends to strengthen our hands in his work. Ingham I writ to Dr. Bray's associates, who had sent a parochial library to Savannah. That part of the letter, was as follows:. A young gentleman who came with me, teaches between thirty and forty children to read, write, and cast accounts.

The same I do on Sunday before the evening service. I writ the trustees for Georgia an account of our year's expence from March 1, , to March 1, Which, deducting extraordinary expences such as repairing the parsonage house, and journies to Frederica amounted for Mr. Delamotte and me to 44 l. Therefore, not daring to depend on my own judgment, I cried the more earnestly to him, to supply what was wanting in me.

And I know and am assured, he heard my voice, and did send forth his light and his truth. About this time Mr. And a terrible one indeed he gave in the relation following.

An extract of the Rev. Mr. John Wesley's journals. Volume I.

Adding, his trade that of a sadler was an exceeding good trade there, upon which he might live creditably and comfortably. He objected his want of money to pay his passage, and buy some tools which he should have need of. Accordingly to Georgia they went; where soon after his arrival, his master as he now stiled himself sold him to Mr. He commonly appeared much more thoughtful than the rest, often stealing into the woods alone. Thence he desired the other servants to return without him, saying, He would stay and kill a deer.

This was on Saturday. On Monday they found him on the shore, with his gun by him, and the fore-part of his head shot to pieces. I began learning Spanish, in order to converse with my Jewish Parishioners: Being determined, if possible, to put a stop to the proceedings of one in Carolina, who had married several of my parishioners without either banns or licence, and declared, "He would do so still: I landed there on Thursday, and related the case to Mr.

To that plain account of the Christian state which these words naturally lead me to give, a man of education and character seriously objected. We left Charleston; but meeting with stormy and contrary winds, after losing our anchor, and beating out at sea all night, on Thurs. Thompson, minister of St. He went with me twenty miles, and sent his servant to guide me the other twenty to his house. Finding a young negro there, who seemed more sensible than the rest, I asked her how long she had been in Carolina? She said, two or three years; but that she was born in Barbadoes, and had lived there in a minister's family from a child.

I asked, Whether she went to church there? I asked what she had learned at church? She said, Nothing; I heard a deal; but did not understand it. But what did your master teach you at home? I asked, "But don't you know, that your hands and feet, and this you call your body, will turn to dust in a little time? But there is something in you that will not turn to dust, and this is what they call your soul. Indeed, you can't see your soul, though it is within you, as you can't see the wind, though it is all about you.

What do you think will become of your soul, when your body turns to dust? Why, it will go out of your body, and go up there, above the sky, and live always. Do you know who God is? You can't see him, any more than you can see your own soul. It is he that made you and me, and all men and women, and all beasts and birds, and all the world. It is he that makes the sun shine, and rain fall, and corn and fruits to grow out of the ground. He makes all these for us. But why do you think he made us? What did he make you and me for?

And so you will, in a little time,—if you are good. If you are good, then when your body dies, your soul will go up, and want nothing, and have whatever you can desire. No one will beat or hurt you there. You will never be sick, You will never be sorry any more, nor afraid of any thing. I can't tell you, I don't know how happy you will be: The next day she remembered all, readily answered every question; and said, She would ask him that made her, to shew her how to be good.

I came to Mr. Belinger's plantation at Chulifinny, where the rain kept me till Friday. Though if there was any church within five or six miles, I am so lame I can't walk, but I would orawl thither. O how hath God stretched over this place the lines of confusion, and the stones of emptiness! Alas for those whose lives were here vilely cast away, through oppression, through divers plagues and troubles!

How long wilt thou hide their blood! How long wilt thou cover thy slain? This lad too I found both very desirous and very capable of instruction. And perhaps one of the easiest and shortest ways to instruct the American negroes in Christianity, would be first to enquire after and find out some of the most serious of the planters. God having been pleased greatly to bless the endeavours of my fellow-labourer, while I was absent from them. I discovered the first convert to deism that I believe has been made here.

I was sent for by one who had been several years of the church of Rome; but was now deeply convinced as were several others by what I had occasionally preached, of the grievous errors that church is in, and the great danger of continuing a member of it. Upon this occasion I could not but reflect on the many advices I had received, to beware of the increase of Popery: This was quite surprising, when I considered, 1. That in every place where I have yet been, the number of the converts to Popery bore no proportion to the number of the converts to infidelity. And lastly, That as hard as it is to recover a Papist, it is still harder to recover an infidel: Being Whitsunday, four of our scholars, after having been instructed daily for several weeks, were at their earnest and repeated desire, admitted to the Lord's table.

I trust their zeal hath stirred up many, to remember their Creator in the days of their youth, and to redeem the time, even in the midst of an evil and adulterous generation. Indeed about this time we observed the Spirit of God to move upon the minds of many of the children. Who knows but some of them may grow up, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ?

Causton the store-keeper and chief magistrate of Savannah was seized with a slow fever. Causton's neice some things which I thought reproveable in her behaviour. At this she appeared extremely angry, and said, She did not expect such usage from me; and at the turn of the street through which we were walking home went abruptly away. The next day Mrs. Causton endeavoured to excuse her, told me, She was exceedingly grieved for what had passed the day before, and desired me to tell her in writing what I disliked; which I accordingly did the day following. But first, I sent Mr.

Causton the following note: I ever have and ever shall acknowledge it. And it is my earnest desire, that he who had hitherto given me this blessing, would continue it still. Causton came to my house, with Mr. Bailiff Parker, and Mr. Meeting with a Frenchman of New Orleans on the Missisippi, who had lived several months among the Chicasaws, he gave us a full and particular account of many things which had been variously related.

The substance of his account was this; Some years past the Chicasaws and French were friends. The French were then mingled with the Nautchee Indians, whom they used as slaves; till the Nautchees made a general rising, and took many of the French, prisoners. But soon after, a French army set upon them, killed many and carried away the rest. They staid there till the 24th, but none came to join them. On the 25th, they were attacked by two hundred Chicasaws. The French attempted to force their way through them. Five or six and twenty did so; the rest were taken prisoners.
