They broke four guns, and threw twelve cart-loads of military store into the river, and marched with discreet precipitation to safer quarters. Thus writes Walker, " after 105 days being closely be- sieged by near 20, 000 men constantly supplied from Dublin, God Al- mighty was pleased in our utmost extremity to send relief. " Nearly 9000 of the besieging army had fallen before the walls. A few days after, a meeting of the council and chief inhabitants of Londonderry met and agreed upon an addres...s to king William, which they committed to the care of their governor to present. Walker proceeded on his way by Scotland. He was received with every mark of respect in Glasgow, which claimed the honour of his education. At Edinburgh he met a no less honourable reception : there he was waited on by a body of presbyterian ministers, who applied to him for some information respecting the condition of theHr Irish brethren, and received from him an affecting narrative of their distresses and suffer- ings.
