of Rolandseck is closely linked with

years passed and word was brought
back that Roland had been wounded

Our program for the following day
was a trip up the Rhine, but had

we got up the next morning the aspect
was extremely poor but we hoped for
the best and decided to take the boat.
At nine o'clock the boat started and
about five minutes later it commenced
to rain in bucketsful Our seats were
enclosed in glass so that we could see
everything going on about us without

it would require pretty bad weather to
