We had always heard much of the waves of the Atlantic — great and swelling they certainly are. Com- pared with that of the Mediterranean sea, the roll of the Atlantic is big ; but the Bay of Biscay, when we crossed, was fairly calm, and it seemed to us that there was more to fear oflF the coast of Portugal, where the swell rolls back from those great rugged perpen- dicular frowning cliffs, near to which vessels pass.

We were glad to stretch our legs, and walk through the town> which seems to be the home of shot and shell. The place bristled with forts and " Tommy Atkins" in all his glory was in evidence at every turn, while cannon mouths Digitized by Google THE VOYAGE OUT. 45 obtruded at corners of the gardens. A regiment of the Queen was at drill; the pride in our English birth rose up, as well it might ; and we wondered whether we shall ever be foolish enough, as a nation, to let the fortress pass from us.
