In consequence we did not sight the island of Candia until the evening of the third day, four-and-twenty hours later than we should have done under ordinary circumstances.
Two women, who came on board as passengers to Syra, were so violently attacked by sea-sickness, that they left the deck a few hours after we got under way, and did not reappear until they landed at Syra.

A very useful arrangement on board the French vessel is the engagement of a female attendant, whose assistance sometimes becomes very necessary.

Heaven be praised, I had not much to fear from the attacks of sea-sickness.

The weather must be very bad--as, for instance, during our passage through the Black Sea--before my health is affected, and even then I recover rapidly.

During our whole voyage, even when the weather was wretched, I remained continually on deck, so that during the day-time I could not miss seeing even the smallest islet.
