Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Residence in Jutland, the Danish Isles, and Copenhagen, Vol. 1 of 2 August 3rd, 1858. - We arrived at last, all safe and sound, after a rough and tiresome passage. I really imagined we should never get under weight, for at the eleventh hour came a cargo of oil-barrels, already marked down upon the bill of lading. There was no help for it, embarked they must be; so we lost the tide, and, after encountering the tail of a storm off the Hanoverian coast, arrived too late to mount the river to Hamburg, had to wait some nine hours till there was sufficient water to cross the bar, and then sailed up the Elbe. On our passage we steamed by a brig, all up on end, a total wreck; and, later, a second, deep embedded in a sand-bank - the results of last Saturday's storm.
