Excerpt from Fairer Than a Fairy, Vol. 2 of 3: A Novel

We lost sight of the land for a little time, and encountered a heavy head-wind after passing the low headland named Point Palmyras; but next morning saw us off the Sandheads, where we received on board the pilot who was to conduct us up the Hooghly, which we were now entering under half steam with a fair wind, and we were all on deck betimes to 'sniff' the land of our exile, and exchange congratulations that we were so soon to leave our floating prison, and already, in anticipation, our men were cheerily beginning to pack and strap their knapsacks below.
