which being done, they went to dinner, where the table was very
full: the two Dukes at the upper end, my Lord Opdam next on one
side, and my Lord on the other. Two guns given to every man
while he was drinking the King's health, and so likewise to the
Duke's health. I took down Monsieur d'Esquier to the great
cabbin below, and dined with him in state along with only one or
two friends of his. All dinner the harper belonging to Captain
Sparling played to the Dukes. After dinner, the Dukes and my
Lord to sea, the Vice and Rear-Admirals and I in a boat after
them. After that done, they made to the shore in the Dutch boat
that brought them, and I got into the boat with them; but the
shore was full of people to expect their coming. When we came
near the shore, my Lord left them and come into his own boat, and
Pen and I with him; my Lord being very well pleased with this
day's work. By the time we came on board again, news is sent us
that the King is on shore; so my Lord fired all his guns round
twice, and all the fleet after him.
