a horse of Mr. Lancaster Sims, and paid him £8 for it [in 
New York]. ... At five, we got into the boat again, and with 
much difficulty crossed to Staten Island, then we mounted our 
horses and came to one Stuart’s, an inn on the road, about seven 
miles from the ferry, where we supped, and lay all night. Sun- 
day, 11th—At seven in the morning we set out from Stuart’s, and 
at twelve of the clock, we came to one Colonel Farrier’s house, 
where the ferry is kept, and we got ferried over to Amboy, which 
is a small village where the Governor hath a house and garden. 
... Lhe wind blew so hard that we could not get our horses 
ferried over.” 
The “Colonel Farrier’? mentioned is probably an error for 
Farmer.
