had been highly gratified during their short stay. They took passage on
board the steamboat Constitution, bound to New-York, sixty miles
distant.

[_Travels_:

I was very sorry that we were obliged on the third day after our
arrival to leave this agreeable place, which had so extremely
pleased me; but I was obliged to go to New York at last!...]
