About this book
Dikes and Ditches, or Young America in Holland and Belgium, is introduced as a story of travel and adventure by Oliver Optic. Orders are called to let go the topsail sheets, clew up, settle away the halyards and haul taut the braces, and the light sails of the Josephine were furled.
The text says Professor Hamblin was as indignant as a learned Greek scholar could be. A learned gentleman tells Mr. Stoute he has been insulted and that a boy has disobeyed him, as though he were a person of no consequence. A governor, having completed his inspection of the vessel, invited all the officers to dine with him. All hands were informed that the next three days would be devoted to sight-seeing, and that the students would take the train for Ghent at half past two.
