Légende

After a Rough Passage, 1883. 'Transmarine tourists, who may have braved the Channel passage in the calm and sunny days of August with cheerful complacency, sometimes experience a brief ordeal of physical discomfort and inward disturbance on their return to the English shore. Worse are the sufferings, in bad weather of the equinoctial period, that too often await the homeward voyage, in the Irish sea, of those who have lingered at Killarney, or at the Giant's Causeway, or who have unwarily chosen the steamboat, instead of the railway, for their homeward conveyance from the Western Highlands of Scotland, rather late in the season, encountering the rude autumnal gales. Sea-sickness is far more distressing than home-sickness or love-sickness, for it disturbs both mind and body, and there is no dignity of refined sentiment about this most painful affection...This complaint is as old as Jonah, which things are perhaps an allegory; and when poets, scholars, or philosophers are afflicted with the mal de mer, there is no supernatural belief too wild for their credence'. From "Illustrated London News", 1883.
