nation. In the foreground is Jones's
portmanteau undergoing the "ordeal by touch."

Manner and custom of the people, as seen from the railway by Brown, and
made a note of.

B. J. and R., who took their places on the roof the better to command
the view, are seen at the moment when the idea occurred to the two
former that they might possibly not "fit" under the archway. Robinson is
so wrapped up in thought, and a cigar, that he is unconscious of all
else.

This represents the Cologne omnibus on its journey from the station into
the city, when stopped by the military, and made to "stand and deliver"
the passports.

Arrival at the hotel, and first coming in sight of that amiable and
obliging race, the German waiter. He is small in stature (scarcely the
size of life, as Jones remarked), and remains always a boy.

"Speise-Saal" hotel, Cologne-- Enter Brown, Jones, and Robinson,
fatigued, and somewhat disordered by travel, and "so hungry."

How an agent of Jean Maria Farina addressed them, who was kind enough
to put some of the celebrated "Eau" upon their handkerchiefs, and to
receive orders for the same.

The real Eau de Cologne, and its effect upon the noses of three
illustrious individuals.

"Kellner" presents the bill.

They "do" Cologne cathedral.

[COLOGNE TO BONN.]

The railway from Cologne to Bonn. --B. J. and R. "Just in time."

First glimpse of Rhine scenery.

[BONN.]

Jones's little all is contained in this small portmanteau.

Robinson, on the contrary, finds it quite impossible to move with less

This scene represents the Rhine boat about to start from Bonn, and
passengers from the railway embarking. In the foreground an accident has
occurred, a porter having upset the luggage of an English family, the
head of which is saluting him with the national "Damn," while the
courier of the party expresses the same idea in German.

COMPANY ON BOARD THE RHINE BOAT.

Amongst them was a travelling tutor, and three young gentlemen, his
pupils. He stood in the midst of them smiling blandly, an open volume in
his hand, (probably a classic author,) between which, and his pupils,
and the scenery, he divided his attention in about equal parts. There
was a specimen of the
