On Sunday, I embarked for Naples on board the Ercolano. I was somewhat reconciled to the necessity of sailing on that day, from the fact that I could spend the time as profitably on the deep as on the land, amid the parades of soldiers, the firing of cannon, and the ringing of bells. The first sound I heard in the morn- ing was the discordant echo of the drum, and the last which fell on my ear, as we faded from the land, was the boisterous shout of sailors on the wharf. So, muttering as well as... I could, and to the best tune I knew, — " Thy temple is the arch Of yon unmeasured sky ; Thy Sabbath the stupendous march Of grand eternity, " — I saw the busy seaport losing itself in the dim and misty distance. I was amused now and then in noticing the habits of 280 EUROPA. the people. As we left the landing, a pleasant scene took place between some friends who had come down to see others oif. When the intimation was given that we were about to start, these French people fell to kiss- ing each other indiscriminately, fathers saluting sons, and mothers embracing daughters, brothers bringing their huge beards together, and a universal smacking taking place.
