andirons, shovel and tongs of copper, and a number of
pictures, among which are two little representations of
castles, the Battle of Calloo, a portrait of Lant-Com-
mander Bongaert in full-dress uniform, one of Lant-
Commander van Ruyssenbergh, one of Commander
Cratz, and one of Commander Werner Spies von Bulles-
heim kneeling with a chaplain at the feet of the Virgin.
Two little rooms and a bathroom belonging to the
chaplain follow, and then we enter a room called In den
inganck van't voorhuys. In the centre stands an old
table covered with a " carpet of gilt leather." There are
some water-colours on the wall, including two vases
filled with flowers, and two of decorative motives with
the inscriptions " Virtus parit honorem" and Qui con-
fidit in divitiis corruet. There is also a large painting of
the arms of the Archduke Maximilian, Grand Master of
the Order (son of the Emperor Maximilian II).
From the Inganck van't voorhuys, we step into a
more luxurious hall called het cleyn salet naast het voorhuys,
hung with ten large pieces of leather with gold patterns
on a silver background. The furniture consists of a
table with oak leaves, covered with a Turkish carpet,
chairs with stuffed backs of red ribbed silk, a screen
made of four painted canvases, and eleven pictures,
one the Battle of Prague and the others landscapes,
ornamental copper andirons, and a hearth-box.
The next salon, de sale naar de Trappenye, is hung
with portraits, and some large pictures, one of which
represents Samson proving his strength.
In the dining-room, in de nieuwe gemaeckte stove,
there are also many pictures, including portraits, a
