"THE ANCHOR'S WEIGHED"
(Sketched on an excursion steamer)
WHAT NO ONE SHOULD FORGET, IN CROSSING THE CHANNEL
To place his rugs, carpet-bags, and umbrellas on the six best seats on the boat.
To worry the captain with remarks about the state of the weather and the performance of the steamer: to observe to the steward that there is a change in the weather, and that there were more passengers the last time he crossed.
To speak to the man at the wheel, and ask him whether there was much sea on last trip.
To change his last half-crown into French money, and squabble with the steward as to the rate of exchange.
