The breeze freshened, and the vessel was borne up the stream to Burlington, where she was moored to a tree, which, tradition has it, was identical with the enormouse sycaore yet standing on the river-bank, nearly in front fo the residence of Mr. C. Ross Grubb. The weather changed, suddenly becoming so intensely cold, it is said, that the following morning the people on board the "Shield" came off on the ice which had formed during the night.

In the "Shield" came William Emley, the second time, with his wife and two children, one born on the passage, also two men and two women servants; Mahlon Stacy, his wife, chidlren, and serveral servants, men and women; Thomas Lambert, his wife, children, and serveral men and women servants; John Lambert and servant; Thomas Revell, his wife, children and servants; Godfrey Hancock, his wife, children and servants; Thomas Potts, his wife and children; John Wood and four children; Thomas Wood, his wife and children; Robert Murfin, his wife and two children; Robert Schooley, his wife and children; James Pharo, his wife and children;
