Young Dauerling managed to get into the cadet school at Hamburg after a frightful struggle with four classes of the lower technical school, for which he was coached by private crammers. The first of them grew prematurely grey and went mad, and the second grew so desperate that he, wanted to jump off the St Stephen's 'fower in Vienna.
Dauerling gaztea lehia ikaragarrian aritu zen bere kabuz ikasitako eskola ertaineko lau mailetan. Maisu partikular bati ohi baino lehenago urdindu zitzaion ilea eta ergeldu egin zen, eta beste batek salto egin nahi izan zuen, etsiaren etsiaz, Vienako San Esteban katedraleko dorretik behera.
