Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Days of a Soldier´s Life: Being Letters Written by the Late General Sir C. P. Beauchamp Walker, K. C. B., During Active Service in the Crimean, Chinese, Austro-Prussian (66), And Franco-German (70-71) Wars On board the "Melita," 23rd April, 1854. - Anticipating a good deal to do at Gibraltar, where we hope to arrive at 8 p.m., I shall try and scribble a few lines if the screw will only let me. As the experience of a five days´ voyage in the "Melita," let me give you this advice, never under any circumstances but necessity, be tempted to undertake a voyage in a screw; the noise, the motion and rolling, are enough to destroy all ones philosophy. Having said this, I will dilate no more on disagreeables, but proceed to tell you that I and the beasts are remarkably well. Punch best, then Jemmy, and Sultan rather middling, with a bad cold. We have only lost one horse, a mare of Lord Lucan´s, which died of fright and sea-sickness on Thursday morning, though, we have had a very rough passage, and till to-day a very heavy roll of the ship day and night.
