To-morrow Fitz and I start for Hamburg, and verysoon after—at least as soon as railroad and steamer canbring me—I look for the joy of seeing your face again. By the time this reaches Portsmouth, the Foam willhave performed a voyage of six thousand miles. I have had a most happy time of it, but I fear my amuse-ment will have cost you many a weary hour of anxiety andsuspense. 266 LETTERS FROM HIGH LATITUDES. [XIII.

Her high, bold bows make herideal for combatting the nasty, steep seas of the ZuyderZee and of the North Sea off the Dutch coast. Theycome on Mondays across the former from the Islandsof Urk or Marken, lock through the Orange Sluis,sail along the Eye through Amsterdam, and so outthrough the Ymuiden locks into the North Sea.

The men are as fine and stalwart astheir craft, and, in their own particular line of sea- IN HOLLAND 295 manship, unsurpassed. These craft seem usually tobe handled with a crew of three, perhaps the fatherand his two sons, of whom the younger is a mereboy in years but has the seamans instinct born andbred in him as it has been in his family for centuries.Manly, healthy, clear-skinned, flaxen people in their Text Appearing After Image: Fig. 94,—Dutch Botters.
