nging him a shirt and other apparel, she went up
stairs and acquainted Madam Mohun, her venerable mistress, in the most
feeling manner, with the whole affair.

Here, could we hope our work would last to future ages, we might
immortalize this generous woman.--Her mistress was so affected with her
relation, that she immediately ordered a warm bed to be prepared for the
poor wretch, and that he should be taken great care of, which was
accordingly soon done, and Mr. Carew lay very quiet for three or four
hours; then waking, he seemed to be very much disturbed in his mind; his
talk was incoherent, his groans moving, and he tossed from one side of
the bed to the other, but seemed to find ease in none: the good people
seeing him so uneasy in bed, brought him a good suit of clothes, and he
got up. Being told the bodies of some of his shipmates were flung up by
the sea on the shore, he seemed greatly affected, and the tears dropped

to the mayor, who thereupon ordered the town-bell to be rung, and
assembled the heads of the corporation. Though he had been so lately
with them, yet, being now in a quite different dress, and a pass which
they knew to be signed by Justice Farwell, and the guide testifying that
he was an unfortunate shipwrecked seaman, escaped from the most imminent
danger, they had no notion of his being the broken miller who had been
with them a few days before; they therefore treated him with great
humanity, and relieved him very generously. After this, the guide took
his leave of him with a great many good wishe
