Recollections of Europe
Publisher Description
In the course of the afternoon we had all assembled, and began to reconnoitre each other, and to attend to our comforts. To get accustomed to the smell of the ship, with its confined air, and especially to get all their little comforts about them in smooth water, is a good beginning for your novices. If to this be added moderation in food, and especially in drink; as much exercise as one can obtain; refraining from reading and writing until accustomed to one's situation, and paying great attention to the use of aperients.
