In Prague I had the\u003cbr\u003epleasure of meeting Count Berchthold, who had accompanied me during\u003cbr\u003ea portion of my journey in the East.  He informed me that he should\u003cbr\u003elike to be my companion in the voyage to the Brazils, and I promised\u003cbr\u003eto wait for him in Hamburgh.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had a second most interesting meeting on the steamer from Prague\u003cbr\u003eto Dresden, namely, with the widow of Professor Mikan.  In the year\u003cbr\u003e1817, this lady had, on the occasion of the marriage of the Austrian\u003cbr\u003ePrincess Leopaldine with Don Pedro I., followed her husband to the\u003cbr\u003eBrazils, and afterwards made with him a scientific journey into the\u003cbr\u003einterior of the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had often heard this lady's name mentioned, and my joy at making\u003cbr\u003eher personal acquaintance was very great.  In the kindest and most\u003cbr\u003eamiable manner she communicated to me the results of her long\u003cbr\u003eexperience, and added advice and rules of conduct, which proved\u003cbr\u003eafterwards highly useful.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI arrived in Hamburgh on the 12th of May; and, as early as the 13th,\u003cbr\u003emight have embarked on board a fine fast-sailing brig, which,\u003cbr\u003ebesides, was christened the \"Ida,\" like myself.  With a heavy heart\u003cbr\u003eI saw this fine vessel set sail.  I was obliged to remain behind, as\u003cbr\u003eI had promised my travelling companion to await his arrival.  Week\u003cbr\u003eafter week elapsed, with nothing but the fact of my staying with my\u003cbr\u003erelatives to lighten the dreariness of suspense; at last, about the\u003cbr\u003emiddle of June, the Count came, and shortly afterwards we found a\u003cbr\u003evessel--a Danish brig, the \"Caroline,\" Captain Bock, bound for Rio\u003cbr\u003eJaneiro.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI had now before me a long voyage, which could not be made under two\u003cbr\u003emonths at the least, and which, possibly, might last three or four.\u003cbr\u003eLuckily I had already lived for a considerable period on board\u003cbr\u003esailing vessels during my former travels, and was therefore\u003cbr\u003eacquainted with their arrangements, which are very different from\u003cbr\u003ethose of steamers.  On board a steamer everything is agreeable and\u003cbr\u003eluxurious; the vessel pursues her rapid course independent of the\u003cbr\u003ewind, and the passengers enjoy good and fresh provisions, spacious\u003cbr\u003ecabins, and excellent society.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47074145337584,"sku":"2940014927932","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014927932_p0.jpg?v=1763617088","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014927932","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
