Flames and flight after dock arson escape
A recounting of a dockside arson where flames spread rapidly, forcing the narrator, Le Feure, Capt. K., and Culeane to flee by boat while Rogers and the narrator traveled by land toward Comhefer. They stop for beer at Havant, reach Chichester near dawn, and fear pursuit by magistrates as they hide in a corn field awaiting night. The account ends with the narrator leaving Rogers behind.
