we went into one or two shops + had
difficulty enough in making ourselves
understood - Our sea sickness and con-
sequent starvation, making the table
d'hóte a matter of no small conse-
-quence, we had to retrace our steps
which we found it not very easy to
do through unknown streets, + with
people speaking an unknown tongue
so as to reach our line in time
for it. A Dutch table d'hote
after sea sickness! Having partaken
as largely as our capacity admitted
us, as the many dishes handed round
in successive courses; we set out
again + went to the Cathedral ; service
was going on, a sermon in Dutch,
a tolerable congregation of the Poorer
last, there was not much appearance
of reverence to our eye, men sitting
with their hats on, which they only
pulled off at the concluding prayer or
benediction-

21st We started next morning about seven
o'clock up the local branch of the [[Rhine]]

Transcription Conventions

Spelling: Maintain original spelling (including u/v, i/j, and ff). Long "s" should be replaced with a regular "s". Terminal long "i" characters are transcribed as "i" not "j".
Hyphenation: Preserve hyphens (including "=" characters) at the ends of lines.
Capitalization: Maintain original
Punctuation: Add modern periods, but don't add punctuation like commas and apostrophes.
Deletions: Deleted characters and words are tagged with "strike" and then displayed with the line through them.
Symbols: For apothecary and alchemical symbols, use these symbols followed by the meaning of the symbol in brackets: Rx [recipe]; ℈ [scruple]; ʒ [dram]; ʒs [half dram]; ℥ [ounce]; ℥s [half ounce]; ℔ [pound].
For roman numerals following symbols that indicate amount, i.e., j=1, ij=2, iij= 3, v=5, type arabic numeral in brackets following roman numeral: i [1], ii [2], iii [3], v [5].
Line Breaks: Hit return once after each line ends. Two returns indicate a new paragraph, which is usually indentation following the preceding sentence in the original. The times at the end of each entry should get their own paragraph, since the software does not support indentation in the transcriptions.
Illegible text: Indicate illegible readings in single square brackets: [Dr?]
A single newline indicates a line-break in the original document, and will not appear as a break in the text in some views or exports. Two newlines indicate a paragraph, and will appear as a paragraph break in all views.
