Jones was late at breakfast; he found Robinson reading "Galignani," and Brown looking out of window, and after giving them an amusing account of the fun he had had, was just sitting down to the table, when Brown shouted out, "By Jove, there is a regiment of soldiers coming down the street!" IX. At first Jones was incredulous; but presently Brown, his hair standing on end, rushed towards him, and in a voice of agony, cried, "As sure as we are alive they have stopped in front of the house, and the _OFFICER IS COMING IN!_" X. It was too true. The soldiers had come to look after the Englishman who had attacked and beaten their comrade. XI. After a few moments of breathless suspense, the officer enters--Jones stands like a man about to struggle with adversity. XII. Nevertheless he is arrested and marched off. XIII. Robinson, in agony, calls for his coat and hat, "For," as he cried out to Brown, "not a moment is to be lost in endeavouring to see the British Minister." XIV. They gain an audience of His Excellency the British Minister, and ask his interference in behalf of a persecuted countryman. We are happy to add that the interference was quite successful. Jones was liberated immediately, and shortly afterwards the British Minister for Foreign Affairs, in a despatch to the German Minister for the same, expressed his conviction that "The whole civilised world reprobated, with one voice, a system at once tyrannical and cruel, a remnant of the darkest ages of man's history, and utterly unworthy of the present era of progress and enlightenment." Our friends were advised, however, to leave the country as soon and as quietly as possible. They departed accordingly. [BADEN TO BASLE.] Head-dresses of peasantry. A sketch on the road to Basle. How Brown and Jones went in a third class carriage (Robinson would not; it did not seem "respectable"), that they might see the natives, and how B. drew the portrait of one, to her evident dissatisfaction. The omnibus besieged and taken by storm. [BASLE.] "The height of the omnibusses is quite disgusting." --_Extract from unpublished documents in possession of ROBINSON, who himself fell in the mud, while climbing from the roof of one of those vehicles._ Scene from the road, near Basle. Storks' nest, Basle. [SWITZERLAND.] BOAT STATION ON THE LAKE OF LUCERNE; AS SKETCHED BY BROWN FROM THE STEAMER. According to the guide-book, the paintings on the wall represent Furst, Stauffach, and Melchthal, swearing to liberate their country; but Jones said he believed them to be portraits of a medieval Swiss Brown, Jones, and Robinson, in the act of vowing eternal friendship. The safest way of coming down a mountain.
