for whom the express was sent, we were im-

now overjoyed to find our selves so near our
long wished for Prince. We found alarge

vered & wellfurnished with variety of wines and
spirits. As we enter'd this pavilion we were

us Clanronald was amissing and had as we
understood been called in to the Prince's Cabin
