Synopsis
Excerpt from Observations in Europe, Principally in France and Great Britain, Vol. 2 of 2
We went by the railway from Brussels to Ostend, arriving after night. The tide was low, and the steamer lay a few miles out at sea. A man, professing to be an agent for the vessel, pointed out a barge which was to convey us on board; we entered it, and were soon on our way to the vessel. When the lights of the steamer appeared through the gloom, a surly boatman laid down his oar and demanded two francs from each passenger. A little fellow in company declared himself to be the ships steward, and assured us that the boat was employed by the captain to bring off the passengers. The demand was refused; but the oarsmen not only persisted in it, but actually turned the head of the boat towards the shore, declaring that they would take us back if they were not paid. Here was a pretty quarrel. The steamer was impatient - we could hear the loud hissing of her steam - and yet we were not nearing her.
