Before leaving Vienna, the cabin stove had been banished from its place, as the sun had sent forth its mild beams for a few days, and a continuance of the warm weather was rashly relied on.

On the whole, I would not advise any traveller to take a second-class berth on board a steamer belonging to the Viennese company.

A greater want of order than we find in these vessels could scarcely be met with.

The traveller whose funds will not permit of his paying first-class fare will do better to content himself with a third-class, i.e.a deck-passage, particularly if he purposes journeying no farther than Mohacs.

If the weather is fine, it is more agreeable to remain on deck, watching the panorama of the Danube as it glides past.
