The horses moved on

A jeweller took some girls, and their waiting-maid, in a hackney-coach to a coffee-house in Chelsea; when they came out to return home, the coachman was gone to a publick-house; but it then raining, the waiter let the company into the coach, and called out for the driver, who not hearing immediately, the horses moved on and one of them being blind, turned towards the Thames, into which they dragged the coach, and the water being very high, it was with the utmost difficulty that the lives of the ladies and maid were saved; but the gentleman being stunned by a blow on his temple, was drowned.
