A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Rapidly, one by one, like well-appointed equipages, drawing up before the awning of a hotel, several small boats stopped at the foot of the companion-ladders; then with the light, quick step of men starting on a pleasure trip, the officers sprang down the ships sides and seated themselves on the carpet-covered benches. A signal was given, the oars, which had been lifted in the air awaiting the word of command, fell in unison, and the barks sped swiftly away. Every ship in the whole squadron sent its contingent, so that the fleet seemed like a small town which some great event had stirred to its utmost. The sea, of a transparent blue, was so calm that its motion would scarcely have sufficed to rock the cradle of a babe, and it was a pretty sight to see the boats, decked in their jauntiest, lit up by the morning sun. The sailors, dressed in their best, rose and fell with their oars in perfect time, showing their striped jerseys and collars of immaculate whiteness, while the officers, cigars in mouth, talked jocosely from one boat to another. The whole thing is a mechanical plaything, said one of them suddenly, looking round and taking in the dainty little fleet at a glance; little automaton oarsmen, little officers stuck to their benches. I have just made you a present, brothers, of the game of regatta.
