Note 225 — Chapter LII · LONDONDERRY AND ENNISKILLEN, 1689

Walker and Mackenzie. Pointis to Louis XIV. or Seignelay, June 13, 17, and 22, State Papers, Domestic. Colonel Birch’s speech, June 19, in Grey’s Debates, ix. 351. Schomberg’s order to Kirke is printed from the copy among the Nairne MSS. in Dwyer’s edition of Walker: it was apparently written on June 29 and despatched with a postscript on July 3. Avaux to Louvois, June 16/26. The author of the Light to the Blind says a sunken gabbard or two would have destroyed the channel, but that James had forbidden this for fear of lessening his customs revenue.
