Adventure of [[Buffalora]]

~~Wednesday~~ Thursday Aug'st [August] 21 got up at eight
OClock this morning, and ^ after Breakfast went to the Dogana
to acquaint my gentlemen Custom-house
officers there of the Satisfaction we
had obtained at Milano [[Milan]] & to prepare
them for a ~~Call~~ Summons to [[Milan]] to give an
acc't [account] of their Conduct -

We saw at first only Justice Balance
or Old [[Coppa]]. The Sight of us & the unex-
-pected Salutation we gave him, to prepare
himself for a Call to [[Milan]] Seem'd a
Thunder Clap to him. He endeavoured to
throw the Blame on the Man who made
the Siezure & his Comrade - whom we next
Sought for, ~~to taunt~~ to threaten them with
the condign punishment w'ch [which] awaited them.

We had taken care at Breakfastime
to circulate the News ab't [about] the Tavern of
the Success we had obtained at [[Milan]],
as the Rascals had done in the Same
house two days before of the Plunder
they had made - with w'ch perhaps they regaled
th'r [their] acquaintances - If so their Feast must have been
crude & undigested as we made them disgorge so quickly after.

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
