Close in-shore however, a row-boat appeared, and its diminutive size served instantly to correct our error: we were at least a mile and a half from the high and dry land that seemed so immediately within our reach.-On the square sail of our boat, was the following inscription, painted in large letters of German text:

O Herr, über alle wasser wellen
Thüe ich mich dir anbefehlen.

CHRISSEN Muller.

O LORD, upon each watery wave,
(Owning thy pow'r alone to save)

Do I commend myself to THEE.

A voyage of three hours and a half brought us to Neuhaus. Thence, in the twilight, we walked about two miles to Unterseen, being half way through the fertile plain that intervenes between the lakes of Thun and Brientz, to whose once united but now divided waters, the powerful current of the Aar forms the still uninter. rupted channel of connection.
