Cast
anchor
between
six
and
seven
o'clock.
The
moon
shone
upon
the
waters.
The
shores
were
visible
rock;
here
and
there
a
light
from
the
houses.
Ships
lying
at
anchor
not
far
from
us.
We[15]
drank
tea
upon
deck
by
the
light
of
the
moon.
I
enjoyed
solitude
and
quietness,
and
many
a
recollected
pleasure,
hearing
still
the
unintelligible
jargon
of
the
many
tongues
that
gabbled
in
the
cabin.
Went
to
bed
between
ten
and
eleven.
The
party
playing
at
cards,
but
they
were
silent,
and
suffered
us
to
go
to
sleep.
At
four
o'clock
in
the
morning
we
were
awakened
by
the
heaving
of
the
anchor,
and
till
seven,
in
the
intervals
of
sleep,
I
enjoyed
the
thought
that
we
were
advancing
towards
Hamburgh;
but
what
was
our
mortification
on
being
told
that
there
was
a
thick
fog,
and
that
we
could
not
sail
till
it
was
dispersed.
I
went
on
to
the
deck.
The
air
was
cold
and
wet,
the
decks
streaming,
the
shores
invisible,
no
hope
of
clear
weather.
At
ten
however
the
sun
appeared,
and
we
saw
the
green
shores.
All
became
clear,
and
we
set
sail.
Churches
very
frequent
on
the
right,
with
spires
red,
blue,
sometimes
green;
houses
thatched
or
tiled,
and
generally
surrounded
with
low
trees.
A
beautiful
low
green
island,
houses,
and
wood.
As
we
advanced,
the
left
bank
of
the
river
became
more
interesting.
