FROM ENGLISH CHRONICLERS 103
And in the following night, when the same priest had for
sadness fallen into slumber, there appeared * to him a certain
man, venerable in face and in raiment, who inquired of him,
as if he knew not, the cause of so great sadness. And when he
replied that he was afraid of the violence of the enemy who
for before
threatened them, [the man] said to him, " Fear not ;
the dawn I will cast my net into the river, 2 and thereby the
passage of the Scots will be wholly prevented."
When he had said this he disappeared. And when morning
dawned, the river which is called Tyne was found to have so
greatly risen, without flood of rains or violence of winds, that
it could by no means be crossed without the help of a ship.
Moreover in the same night and during the following day fell
suddenly so thick a mist that the greatest part of the army of
the aforesaid king divided in the darkness and scattered
asunder, so that very many turned with great haste to the
north, many to the east, and several also to the west, clearly
confounded by a divine miracle through the intercession of the
saints of the church of Hexham.
But king Malcolm came with that fragment of his army
which had remained with him, and saw that all means of cross-
ing was denied him. He therefore' halted upon the river's
bank, intending to wait till the river subsided so that he could
cross.
But after waiting for three days, when he saw that, without
any agency of rain, the water rose more and more, he was
terrified by so evident a miracle, and retreated in great haste.
And thus were all they who had fled to the aforesaid church
of Hexham rescued from his cruelty by the merits of the saints
who rest there.
