Late in the morning we rowed into the centre of the river. We could see
the ship to Hamburg coming closer. Magwitch and I picked up our bags,
and said goodbye to Herbert and Startop, so that we would be ready to
stop the ship and get on board. Suddenly a boat rowed by four men
appeared from nowhere and came out very fast into the centre of the
river, close to us. A fifth man was steering, and a sixth, his face
hidden in his cloak, whispered instructions to the steerer. They all
stared at us.
