Description
I left Charing Cross on the 15th October, 1903 by the 10 a.m. boat train for Dover. As we glided on I mentally said goodbye to familiar scenes for I was outward bound to put in another five years’ service under the dragon flag. At Dover we went aboard the Belgian rapide “Ville de Douvres” and in ten minutes were streaming at twenty miles an hour through the shipping on our way across Channel.
