Here six months passed away with courteous treat?ment, and every sort of kindness. Virtuous gentlemen and ladies Burberry outlet from the city visited them continually, bringing every kind of present, including succats and marmalade. But with restored health came fresh troubles; orders came from the Viceroy that they were to be Burberry Sale sent south to the prisons of Tescuco, the entrepdt of all the rascals in Mexico, of all colours, from whence they were generally sold into slavery. Evil times began again. Although set to no work, they were kept straitly in prison, and so nearly starved, in spite of one Robert Sweeting, a renegade, whose father had married a Spaniard, and who helped them, that in desperation they determined to break out, and by that means incur death or gain freedom. They were a hundred strong still, and seemed to have no difficulty at all in getting away ; but the night was dark, it rained terribly, and they had no guide, and wandered they knew not whither—but, unluckily, quite in the wrong direction, for at daybreak they found themselves close to Mexico, and Burberry Sale were at once recaptured. They were threatened with death, but it was not inflicted; they were ordered to the garden of the Viceroy, and great must have been their surprise when they met there the gentlemen who had been given as hostages by Sir John Hawkins and Captain Barret, the master of the Jesus. Here they worked for four months, with only two sheep among the hundred of them, and two halfpenny loaves for each man. |
