Keele (Dordtsche Kil)

I am not sure where Evelyn is referring to when he mentions going to “Keele”.  “Kil” is a Dutch term for a creek and the Dordtsche Kil is a tidal river, or creek, connecting the Oude Maas river and the Hollands Diep.  This seems the most likely passage he took to get from Dordrecht (Dort) to the Hollands Diep and so Willemstad.
