CHAPTER LX.

The three wurthleS turned their faces towarS
the Boot with the intention Of passing the night
in that place of rendezvous, and Of seeking the re-
pose they so muoh needed in the shelter of their
old dem for that the mischief and de.truc-
lion they had purposed were achieved and their
prisoners were safely bestowed f5r the night they
began to be conscious Of exhaustion and ,e feel
The wasting effects of the madness which bad led
10 such deplorable results.
Notwithstanding he lassitude and fatigue which
oppressed him now, in common with his two com
panions and indeed with all who had taken
live share in that nights work, Hughs boisteroUs

Ter as bade fair to bring the watch upon tnem and
involve them in skirmisil, TO which in their pre-

means equal. Even Mr.. Dennis, who not at

with him on this mprudent behavior, which he
held to be a species of suicide, taniamount to n
mnns working himself off without beng overtakcn
by the law. than which he cond imagine nothing
more ridiculous or impertinent.
Not abaiing one iot of his noisy mirth for these
remons,rances, Hugh reced along between them,
having an OF each until they hove in sight OF

luck to have roared and shouted himself into 81

was true or false, he could not affirm.
The three took counsel together, on hearing
this and debated what il might be best TO do

soning and to their persuasions, Hugh consented
to turn back, and 10 repair TO Fleet Market; for
which place, it seemed u few of their boldest as.
socates had shaped their course on receiving the
same intelligence.
Feeling their strength recruited and their spirits
reused, now that there necessity for ac

ugue under which they had been sinking but few
minutes before; and soon arrived ST their place Of
destinaton.
Fleet Market, at that time was long, rregu-

annoyance OF passengers, who were fain 10 make
their way, as they best could, among carts. bas-

and TO iostle with porters, hucksters, wagoners
and motley crowd o:bUyers, sellers, pickpocke,s
yagrants and idlers The air was perfusned with
the stencil Of rotten leaves and faded fruit; the
refuse OF the butchers stalls, and afa and gar
bage of hundred kinds: il was Indispensable to
most public conyeniences in those days, that there
should be public nuisances likewise; and Fleet

baskets were tolerable substitute for beds, or
perhaps because it afforded the means OF 4 hasty

nights bStore II was now broad day, but the
morning being cold, a group of them were gather
ed round FIRE in public house, drinking hot purl,
and smoking pipes, and planning new schemes for
tomorrow.
Hugh and his two friends being known to most
of these men, were received with signal marks of
appreciation, and nduc,ed into the mos, honorable
