Daly said Brodie was lodged in the first floor: that the landlord of the house informed him that the gentleman he enquired for was above. On this information, Daly went up stairs, knocked once or twice at the door, but no person answering, he opened the door, and went into the room. After searching about some time, he found Brodie in a sort of cupboard, and he addressed him, “How do you do, Captain John Dixon _alias_ William Brodie?--come along with me.” He then got him lodged in the Stadthouse. Daly came over to London, and got his reward. APPENDIX XII. THE JOURNAL OF MR. GROVES, WHO WAS DESPATCHED FROM LONDON TO AMSTERDAM TO TAKE CHARGE OF BRODIE. On Tuesday, the 1st July, I left London, and arrived at Harwich at three o’clock the next morning. Wednesday, waited on Mr Coxe, the agent for the packet, with Mr Fraser’s letter, and also on the Captain, who dined with me. At half-past four in the afternoon sailed out of the harbour, and lost sight of land at nine. Thursday, got sight of Helvoetsluys at twelve next day,--dead calm four leagues from shore,--rowed into the harbour in the long boat, with Captain Hearne, and Carpmeal, (Sir S. Wright’s officer), with the mail, and a woman going as Lady’s maid to Sir James Harris’s Lady,--drove back by tide, and almost out to sea again,--landed on sand, walked to several farmhouses, leaving the mail and baggage on the sand, guarded, in quest of a waggon,--refused;--a boor, at last, went at an extravagant price; we had walked seven miles on hot sands, and parched with thirst; at eight o’clock waggon came with the mail, &c.--set out for the Brill, but, within two miles, waggon broke down, and obliged to procure boors to carry mail, &c. arrived at the Brill at half past nine;--Brooks, the messenger, came from Helvoetsluys to meet us, where he had been waiting,--had heard nothing of any person (Englishman) being in custody at Amsterdam, which much alarmed me, nor had Hutchinson, the collector of the passports,--more alarmed;--delivered Mr Fraser’s letter to Brooks;--at ten set off with Brooks for Maslinsluys, arrived there at half-past eleven, got to Delft at three-quarters past twelve;--arrived at the Hague at three in the morning in an open post waggon, with heavy rain, thunder and lightning.
