Source-Brookeborough Parish Recordsin Fermanagh Co., Ireland Source-Armstrong House of Langholm Item 5.Source-Bo rder Exploits edit 1812 p. 292. It is well known that duringthe troubles of Charles I the Earl of Traquair continued unalterablyfixed in his attachment to his unfortunate master, in whose service hehazarded his person and improverished his estate. On one occasion hislordship dispatched Christie's Will to London upon business of thehighest import ance to his Majesty. But the task was a difficult one, asthe Parliamentary leaders used their utmost endeavors to prevent andcommunication between the king and his Scottish friends. Will arrived atLondon and delivered his papers in safety. In the meantime his embassyhad taken air, and orders were dispatched by the enemy to intercept him. He passed skillfully from London to Carlisle, a distance of 265 miles,stopping at the latter place to refresh his horse, and then proceeded onhis journey. Crossing the bridge over the Eden just outside of Carlisle,he suddenly discovered Parliamentary soldiers springing up like magic atboth ends of the bridge. There was nothing left to do but take to thewater, which was in high flood. Facing down stream, he patted his horse'sneck, and with a touch of the spur gracefully cleared the parapet. Horseand rider were carried by the swift current to a place called theStanners, or Stanhouse, where he guided the horse up the wet bank butthey slipped back into the river. Quickly cutting the loop that held hislong wet cloak, he made for the bank again. With the noble effort theanimal brought his master to firm ground. The soldiers, for a time struckwith wonder, forgot to fire upon him. Two or three ran down the waterside intending to capture him, but Will pointed his wet pistol at them,which weapon, although useless, caused them to halt. From the Eden he was chased to the Esk, which he swam . Gaining thefurther side, he wheeled around and in true B order style called out tohis pursuers to come through and drink with him. They declined, knowinghe was in the neighborhood of friends. After this taunt, he proceeded onthe journey and faithfully accomplished his mission. Source-W ilsonsTales of the Border edit.
