_The Old Ship "Royal Escape."_--The following extract from the _Norwich
Mercury_ of Aug. 21, 1819, under the head of "Yarmouth News," will probably
be gratifying to your querist ANON, Vol. vii., p. 380.:
"On the 13th inst. put into this port (Yarmouth), having been grounded
on the Barnard Sand, _The Royal Escape_, government hoy, with horses
for his royal highness at Hanover. This vessel is the same that King
Charles II. made his escape in from Brighthelmstone."
