Here  I  found  the  sun  very  powerful,  as  it  was  just  noon, and  I  was  so  much  fatigued,  that  I  took  it  into  my  head  to  creep into  one  of  the  cannon  on  the  Tower  of  London  to  rest  myself, where  I  fell  fast  asleep.  Now,  it  so  happened  that  this  was  the 4th  of  June,  the  birthday  of  George  HI.  Exactly  at  one  o'clock these  cannon  were  all  fired  in  memory  of  the  day ;  they  had all  been  charged  that  morning;  and  having  no  suspicion  of  my situation,  I  was  shot  over  the  houses  on  the  opposite  side  of the  river,  into  a  farmer's  yard,  between  Bermondsey  and  Deptford, where  I  fell  upon  a  large  haystack,  without waking.
