CHAPTER VI.
HIS FIRST CONTINENTAL JOURNEY.
1825-6.
The time was now come for John Yeardley and Martha Savory to pursue their journey to the Rhine, Switzerland and France.

They left Pyrmont on the 11th of the Tenth Month, 1825, and beside Martha Towell, were accompanied as far as Basle by William Seebohm as interpreter.

Every member of the party wrote in one way or other an account of the journey, and we have availed ourselves of these various sources in the following narrative.
Passing through Paderborn, they arrived at Herdecke on the 13th.

Regarding his feelings in this place John Yeardley writes:-- This morning I was greatly dejected, and fearful we might find none of the people whom we were seeking.

As I was walking pensively outside the town, I recollected what I once read in "Cecil's Remains,"-- that a way may suddenly open before us when we the least expect it.
