She told him nothing, and he heard nothing, but next day she unbosomed herself.
Captain Jervis therefore sat up with Captain Luttrell and his own man.
He was rewarded by noises which he in vain tried to pursue.

"I should do great injustice to my sister" (he writes to Mr.Ricketts on 9th August, 1771), "if I did not acknowledge to have heard what I could not, after the most diligent search and serious reflection, any way account for." Captain Jervis during a whole week slept by day, and watched, armed, by night.

Even by day he was disturbed by a sound as of immense weights falling from the ceiling to the floor of his room.
He finally obliged his sister to leave the house.
What occurred after Mrs.Ricketts abandoned Hinton is not very distinct.

Apparently Captain Jervis's second stay of a week, when he did hear the noises, was from 1st August to 8th August.

From a statement by Mrs.Ricketts it appears that, when her brother joined his ship, the Alarm (9th August), she retired to Dame Camis's house, that of her coachman's mother.
