Our special artist's voyage to the Gold Coast - morning bath on board the Volta, 1873. Our Special Artist, Mr. Melton Prior, who has been sent by the proprietors of this Journal to the Gold Coast of West Africa, for the purpose of making sketches to illustrate the campaign under Sir Garnet Wolseley against the Ashantees...sailed from Liverpool on the 6th, in the screw steam-ship Volta...Our Correspondent praises in high terms the accommodation on board the Volta, the quality of the provisions, and the obliging behaviour of all the officers of that ship, from the captain downwards...he remarks: The officers on board the Volta up to Sunday had their baths, as represented in the sketch. The boatswain, after having had the deck washed, took the hose aft, and, directing it as well as he could, played with the salt water upon those that were inclined for a souse; the captain generally looking on, as well as those officers and others who did not care for such cold work. It was most amusing to see the comical costumes of the bathers when leaving their berths for the douche, and the wry and extraordinary faces they made during the process, but all seemed to think it a treat'.
