〃Our crossing was atrocious。 Never have I seen so terrible a sea； and that
the packet…boat was not broken up by the force of the waves must have been
due to the fact that our time had not yet come。 On two or three occasions I
thought my last moment was at hand； I leave you to imagine what a terrible
experience I had。 In ordinary weather the packet by which we travelled
makes the voyage from Ajaccio to Marseilles in about eighteen hours； it is
said to be the fastest steamer on the Mediterranean。 On this occasion it
took three days and two nights。〃

The primitive fountain； the 〃antique appliance〃 transmitted by inheritance；

originally of three apertures and three straws； two similar apertures on
one side； with two short straws； which dipped into the water； and a single
orifice on the other side for the longer straw which delivered the water。

unconsciously； without thinking of it； I discovered the syphon； the true
syphon of the physicist。〃 Loco cit。
