"The prior accompanied my as far as the water, and put me into the boat himself, first kissing me and giving me his blessing ; you must note that I was barefoot and bareheaded, and was wearing a riding tunic and a doublet over my shirt. Then the canon, who sat facing me with his back to the island, began to row with two small oars, and I sat facing him, with my face to the island of the Purgatory. The weather was still and fine, and it was calm."
