Excerpts:

.....We, the Parson and the Lawyer, one evening in the month of June 1894, were discussing our annual holiday, with the assistance of our pipes and glasses of whisky and water. And here let it be mentioned, in order that no injury may be done to anyone's feelings, that wherever in this narrative we are said to partake of whisky and water, it was the Parson that took the water and the Lawyer the whisky.
.....The Parson wanted a holiday that would be interesting at night schools, young men's improvement classes, mothers' meetings and winter evening lectures; in short, a holiday that would be inexpensive and make itself generally useful. The Lawyer wanted a holiday that would, for a short time, separate him, like the Styx, from the law reports, counsel and the law courts; in short, a place where clients cease from troubling and the lawyers are at rest.
.....Our first impressions of the Venus were very favorable. She is a nice-looking boat, rather high at the bows and was in spick-and-span order. The officers were in uniform and the sailors wore dark blue yachting jerseys. The sailors soon hauled the piles of luggage on board, and it disappeared into the different cabins in a very short time.
.....The proper thing to do immediately after getting on board seemed to be to secure a good seat in the saloon for meals by placing a visiting card under the serviette ring. This essential, we, from ignorance, not modesty, omitted to do. We first found our way to our state-room in the centre of the ship, and we examined with much curiosity our little bedroom for the next thirteen nights. We were startled to discover that the temperature was—well, something much too high to be pleasant. This we attributed to the near proximity of the boilers, but we thought that when we were under weigh and the sea breeze blew in at the porthole, we should be cool enough.
