ANECDOTES. 1 97 



boats were lying soon after day-break, having 

 travelled all night about eighteen miles. I was 

 quite exhausted with fatigue, and by the advice 

 of my friend Kennedy (who is since dead), I drank 

 half a pint of cherry-brandy, and lay down to 

 sleep between two blankets slept soundly until 

 the next morning, and never experienced any 

 ill effects from the fatigue I had undergone.
