THE QUARANTINE. 
805 
In less than ten minutes we traversed the frozen waters of the 
Prout, and in ten more were inclosed within the pallisadoes of 
the quarantine. Mr. De Raab had apprised the director of my 
coming, so that I soon got into pretty comfortable quarters, and 
by the civilities of that gentleman, had as few of the fumigating 
ceremonies, &c. pressed upon me as were consistent with fidelity 
to the ordeal. I did not find here “ a dish of mushrooms grow¬ 
ing fresh under my bed, from the damp, and dilapidation of my 
apartmentthey order these things better in Austria, and I 
had ample store of all I wanted, without making my chamber a 
garden. Indeed, all my friends at Constantinople, who had 
passed these different borders, had recommended me rather to 
enter our home territories by the Austrian quarantine of Buco¬ 
vina, than proceed by Mohiloff on the old Russian frontier.
