So, when all shrouded were in silent night, The Galles were, by corrupting of a mayde, Possest nigh of the Capitol through slight, Had not a Goose the treachery bewrayde.

Eleven A.M.I have been calculating that if Frederick does not leave England till the mail of the 25th of February, I may, by pushing on, catch him at Galle.

Just anchored at Galle, after a run of about 270 miles in twenty-four hours....

I could not remain quiet, however, as the packet from England might be at Galle on the 3rd; so I had to hurry down on Friday from the mountain to Kandy and Colombo, where I arrived on Saturday evening more dead than alive.

I sent for the 'Furious,' which conveyed me from Colombo to Galle on Monday the 4th.

We are to reach Galle to-morrow or next day....

[Sidenote: Shipwreck.] Galle, May 23rd.L'homme

I had a presentiment that something would happen at Galle, though I could hardly have anticipated that I should be wrecked, and wrecked within the harbour!...

This untoward accident detained him for a fort-night at Galle, occupied in superintending and pressing on the operation of fishing up what could be saved from the wreck.

Admiral Morard de Galles was not, and did not consider himself, equal to the task for which Hoche's favour had selected him.

In Colombo we got rickshaws and drove out to the Galle Face Hotel, a beautiful place with the surf thundering on the beach outside.

At the Galle Face, in a cool and lofty dining-hall, we had an excellent and varied breakfast, and ate real proper Eastern curry for the first time.

About 9 in the evening, we arrived before the harbour at Pointe de Galle, but, as the entrance is very dangerous, we quietly hove-to for the night.

Pointe de Galle is charmingly situated: in the fore-ground are some fine groups of rock, and in the back-ground, immediately adjoining the little town, which is protected by fortifications, rise magnificent forests of palms.

Pointe de Galle is the place of rendezvous for the steamers from China, Bombay, Calcutta, and Suez.

There are two conveyances from Pointe de Galle to Colombothe mail which leaves every day, and a coach which starts three times a week.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, we drove over two draw-bridges and through two fortified gateways into the town, which is far more pleasantly situated than Pointe de Galle, on account of its nearer proximity to the beautiful mountain ranges.

[ceci se passe en 1788], le prince de Galles; à l'honneur de la politesse et de l'élégance de ses manières, mesura la largeur de Mme V par derrière avec son mouchoir, et alla montrer les dimensions à presque tous ceux qui étaient là.

Il dînait un jour à côté de la princesse de Galles, et se blessa le doigt en voulant couper du pain trop dur.

On these mountaines which we passed grow great quantity of gall trees, which are somewhat like our okes, but lesser and more crooked: on the best tree a man shall not finde aboue a pound of galles.
