A French Huguenot Legacy
Slowly the Royal guard sailed the perimeter of the bay; the women kept watch as the men kept repositioning the dorey around the skip out of sight from any long-glass (telescope), and then darkness settled in. The four embarked in the dorey. Charles positioned himself at the oars and the small boat pushed against the tide rolling into the bay from the sea. God must have been looking out for them as all remained silent as the fugitives perservered.
The Huguenots edged out of the harbor, keeping close to the shoreline, they followed the route that the frigate would have taken setting sail for England. It was impossible to distinguish one ship from another by light of the moon. They dared not venture into the open waters too far, having no lantern to make their presence known by bigger ships which could collide with them, nor did they want their presence known by anyone but the English frigate. There they drifted, resorting to the only thing that could possibly save them -- prayer.
One by one the large ships sailed further out to sea until at last the fugitives realized they had been left behind. And then they noticed -- a single lantern light blinking from afar. It couldn't possibly be the English frigate as there were no signs of additional lights or sails. Louis and Charles knew the graveness of the danger of attempting to approach the light, yet the danger was no less to stay there adrift where they would surely be spotted come daybreak.
