## Summary

It was a fine February day, when we left the _Hôtel Dessin_ to embark for Dover. The quay was crowded with clamorous porters, while the _gendarmes_ had an eye to the police regulations, lest a stray rogue, more or less, might pass undetected between the two great capitals of Europe. As I had placed myself in the hands of a regular _commissionaire_ belonging to the hotel, we had no other trouble than that of getting down a ladder of some fifteen steps, into the boat. The rise and fall of the water is so great, in these high narrow seas, that vessels are sometimes on a level with the quays, and at others three or four fathoms below them.
