Then came 170 DELFT. halberdiers, archers, and foot-soldiers dressed in the pompous fashion of the fifteenth century; bands played, the city blazed with lights, and through its streets flowed an immense crowd, which had come from every part of Holland to enjoy this splendid vision of a distant age. THE HAGUE. THE HAGUE. THE boat that was to carry me to the Hague was moored near a bridge, in a little basin formed by the canal which leads from Delft to the Hague, and shaded by trees on the bank l...ike a garden lake. The boats that carry passengers from town to town are called in Dutch tretochuiten. The trekschuit is the traditional boat, as emblematic of Holland as is the gondola of Venice. Esquiros defined it as " the genius of ancient Holland floating on the waters;" and, in fact, any one who has not travelled in a trekschuit is not acquainted with Dutch life under its most original and poetic aspect. It is a large boat, almost entirely covered with a cabin shaped like a stage-coach and divided into two compartments the division near the prow being for second-class passengers, and that near the poop for first-class.
