Hungary . he sum agreed upon, asthey had worked hard, though I believe they hadnever expected to be able to take us back toOrsova. The young couple were abandoned atthe Custom-house, on the plea of darkness. Our walk back led through gloomy avenues oftall Lombardy poplars, of which there were severalconverging to the point, where, in 1849, the Hun-garian crown was buried, and remained concealed, until the coronation of Franz Joseph as King ofHungary in 1867. During our stay at Orsova a gunboat and twotorpedo-boats arrived. What interested me mostin them was their colour—a warm dark grey—which to an astonishing extent rendered themalmost invisible when looked at from some distance, against the opposite coast.
