الصفحة 606 - On a bed of green sea-flowers thy limbs shall be laid, — Around thy white bones the red coral shall grow; Of thy fair yellow locks threads of amber be made, And every part suit to thy mansion below.
الصفحة 48 - Allow me to welcome your Majesty on board the Resolute, and, in obedience to the will of my countrymen and of the President of the United States, to restore her to you, not only as an evidence of a friendly feeling to your sovereignty, but as a token of love, admiration, and respect to your Majesty personally.
الصفحة 163 - Fishing by night and fishing by day, — fishing by moonlight, by torchlight, and in utter darkness, — fishing in boats of all sizes, — fishing by those who are stationary on the rock by the seaside, and by those who are absent for weeks on the wildest of seas, — fishing by cormorants, — fishing by divers, — fishing with lines, with baskets, — by every imaginable decoy and device.

الصفحة 134 - Consul, and a portion of the force, I visited and inspected the house and premises of the High Commissioner. We re-embarked at sunset, and the officers and men were returned to their respective quarters ; my object, which was to show his Excellency that I had the power to enter the city, having been fully accomplished. Before the landing took place, I assembled the officers, and urgently impressed upon them (as I had previously done by written order) the necessity of restraining the men from molesting...
الصفحة 133 - ... of affairs from the proceedings of the 27th, I resumed operations on the following day from the Dutch Folly, where I placed in position two of the Encounter's 32-pounder guns. I had previously given the fullest warning to the inhabitants in the vicinity to remove their persons and property (Captain Hall having landed twice for that purpose) , in which occupation they were engaged during the whole of the night. I began firing shortly after noon, my object being to open a clear passage to the wall...
الصفحة 642 - They will not live together, but every chigoe sets up a separate ulcer, and has his own private portion of pus. Flies get entry into your mouth, into your eyes, into your nose ; you eat flies, drink flies, and breathe flies. Lizards, cockroaches, and snakes get into your bed ; ants eat up the books ; scorpions sting you on the foot.
الصفحة 642 - An insect with eleven legs is swimming in your teacup, a nondescript with nine wings is struggling in the small beer, or a caterpillar with several dozen eyes in his belly is hastening over the bread and butter ! All nature is alive, and seems to be gathering all her entomological hosts to eat you up, as you are standing, out of your coat, waistcoat, and breeches.
الصفحة 478 - ... perfect order, I found that the breaks had not been released, and to this or to the handwheel of the break being turned the wrong way may be attributed the stoppage, and the consequent fracture of the cable. When the rate of the wheels grew slower as the ship dropped her stern in the swell, the break should have been eased ; this had been done regularly before whenever an unusually sudden descent of the ship temporarily withdrew the pressure from the cable in the sea; but, owing to our entering...
الصفحة 41 - So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken ? for ye shall speak into the air.
