" Two jolly tars, who were fully protected and consequently believed themselves immunefrom the press, once bought a four-wheeled post-chaise and hired apainter in Long Acre to ornament it with anchors, masts, cannon and avariety of other objects emblematic of the sea. In this ornate vehiclethey set out, behind six horses, with the intention of posting down toAlnwick, where their sweethearts lived. So impatient were they to getover the road that they could not be prevailed upon, at any of thenum...erous inns where they pulled up for refreshment, to stop longenough to have the wheels properly greased, crying out at the delay:"Avast there! she's had tar enough, " and so on again. Just as theywere making a triumphal entry into Newcastle-upon-Tyne the wheels tookfire, and the chaise, saturated with the liquor they had spilt in thecourse of their mad drive, burst into flames fore and aft. The sailorsbellowed lustily for help, whereupon the spectators ran to theirassistance and by swamping the ship with buckets of water succeeded inputting out the fire.
