Hungarian Baron in the face, & think him=
self as good as him, & in his engine
room the greatest man of the two _

Approaching [[Drenkova]] the banks of
the river, reminded me of the banks by
the [[Avon]] ^near [at] [[Bristol]], (another person
on board acquainted with [[Bristol]] had
been making the same remark, only
the broad [[Danube]] instead of the nar=
row [[Avon]] lay between & the mountains
here are part of the [[Carpathian range]].

We spent the night at [[Drenkova]], ^on board our boat
(which is a mere station with a
house,) _ From [[Drenkova]] for about
50 miles the [[Danube]] is not navigable
by steam, we next morning therefore
left the steam boat, & got into a row
boat, which took us twenty or thirty
miles to a small place called [[Orsova]]
where we remained till next day, the
scenery of this part of the river is ex=
ceedingly fine; [illegible?] it is the last fine scenery
on the [[Danube]], & I would almost say
it exceeds all we hd already seen —
Especially where the wide swelling
stream is suddenly contracted within
