Despachado en el transporte militar Orontes, al mes de travesía toqué tierra en Portsmouth, con la salud malparada para siempre y nueve meses de plazo, sufragados por un gobierno paternal, para probar a remediarla.
I was dispatched, accordingly, in the troopship "Orontes," and landed a month later on Portsmouth jetty, with my health irretrievably ruined, but with permission from a paternal government to spend the next nine months in attempting to improve it.
