a steamer was before her to accept or refuse.  The spirit of freedom dictated that she should accept the offer and leave by the first boat.  Admonished that she could reach the boat and also travel more safely in male attire she at once said, “Any way so I succeed.”  It is not to be supposed for a moment, that the effort could be made without encountering a great “fight of affliction.”  When the hour arrived for the boat to start, Mary was nicely secreted in a box (place), where she was not discovered when the officers made their usual search.  On arriving in Philadelphia, she mingled her rejoicings with the Committee in testifying to the great advantage of the Underground Rail Road, and to the carefulness of its agents in guarding against accidents.  After remaining a short time in Philadelphia, she made choice of Boston as her future residence, and with a letter of introduction to William Lloyd Garrison, she proceeded thitherward.  How she was received, and what she thought of the place and people, may be gleaned from this letter (written by herself.)
