Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Year of Consolation, Vol. 1 of 2: By Mrs. Butler Saturday, 20th December. - Left Southampton per steamboat, for Havre, at ten o´clock at night - the weather clear over head, but blowing very hard horrible little boat - where, objecting to lie close to two old women, the only empty berths were, one into which the water forced itself, or one in close proximity to the boiler - in the latter I slept. The gale increased to a perfect hurricane: luckily it was in the stern of the ship; but what with it and the thumping of the water, pursuing and overtaking the little steamboat, I thought its poop would be driven in. I have crossed the Atlantic six times, and have never spent a more terrible night at sea. Came to the bar by eight o´clock in the morning, but the tide was out - the inner harbor without sufficient water to admit us; we therefore lay till twelve o´clock, beaten by a furious wind and frothing angry sea, as sick as possible, and a great deal crosser. The landing, custom-house, ;c., all went smoothly enough, to the great delight of my inexperience, which had imagined to itself all manner of horrors. Put up at the Hotel de l´Amirauté - like an old French noble house - the groat quaint room, with its grey boiserie - innumerable doors of communication, and bed-rooms and dressing-rooms running into each other in most ingenious intricacy.
