Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From the Thames to the Seine The invasion was made in a ship. The ship was bigger in her own estimation than her measurements would justify, and in this I agreed with her. But to come down to bald facts, she was of registered tonnage 2.65, and of yacht measurement 4 tons - which means that she was 26 feet long over all, 19 feet upon the water-line, and 6.6 feet wide. I have reason to be thankful that she was rather under-canvassed, for otherwise I might not have returned from my voyage. To these particulars I might add that she was sloop-rigged, and that she carried a centre-board, which when in use extended her draft from 3 feet to 6 feet, that she had a cabin designed to sleep two, but which has upon occasions echoed the snores of four, and also that her name was Mave Rhoe. When I announced to my uninitiated friends that I was bent upon this voyage, they immediately became uncomplimentary, and when I added that I intended to do it alone, they became frankly rude. One of them, a brother-painter, with a large moustache and an argumentative manner, went so far as to say that I was a "blithering idiot." All this served only to make me think less of my friends.
