From Presburg to Scala Cladova, 784, or Eng. miles 6324 In May 1834, when the Danube was unusually full, a small steamer, the Argo, made this voyage once ;* but the habitual shallowness of the river requires the general substitution of a row-boat for a steam-vessel between Moldova and Scala Cladova. On the occasion above referred to, the Argo reached Orschova in six, and Scala Cladova in eight and a quarter hours from Moldova ; a row-boat sometimes requires twenty-two hours, as above calculated. * The Pannonia has likewise effected it since these notes were penned.
