1672] THE ALLIES 257 the Dutch played hide-and-seek with the allied fleets. The wind favoured them, and remained north-easterly, so that the allies could make little headway, and de- spaired of an engagement in the Channel. For a few days De Ruyterwas free to threaten the Thames. He detached a squadron, which nearly captured some of our reinforcements as they attempted to leave the river.^ The enemy's squadron moved along the coast, off Longsand Head, or wi...thin a cannon-shot of Sheer- ness ; they even came to an anchor, and so close that at low-tide a Vice-Admiral's ship went aground, but " she gott off the next day by a spring tide, and gott up to the rest of their fleet. " ^ Meanwhile the English and French were " forced to tyde it up to Dover, " and as they approached, De Ruyter disappeared to the northward. The allies beat slowly along the Channel in the teeth of a strong breeze. At length, on May 16, they were off the North Foreland. That same evening some Dutch scouts appeared, and exchanged shots with the Prince, but did not come within reach of her guns.^ The appearance of the enemy's frigates caused some consternation.
