Brightric pursued him with a fleet of eighty sail; but his ships being shattered in a tempest, and stranded on the coast, he was suddenly attacked by Wolfnoth, and all his vessels were burnt or destroyed. Consequently the ships equipped must be 785. It is almost impossible, or would be tedious, to relate particularly all the miseries to which the English were thenceforth exposed.

Parliament met here for many years, too, its last session in this room being on the day that the great King Hal died." In the cases are preserved some valuable documents, the oldest being a grant of land, made by King Offa, in 785.

This expropriation of the Noblesse, as it is called, was evidently not the result merely of the temporary economic disturbance caused by the abolition of serfage, for as time went on it became more rapid. During the first twenty years the average annual amount of Noblesse land sold was 517,000 dessyatins, and it rose steadily until 1892-96, when it reached the amount of 785,000.

Shortly after this decision, el-Mahdi died, in the year 785, having reigned ten years and two months. Musa el-Hadi, his eldest son, succeeded him, being the fourth caliph of the race of Abbasids. On ascending the throne, he withdrew the government of Egypt from Fadl ibn Salih, appointing in his place Ali ibn Suleiman, also a descendant of Abbas.

The first Qaren was the son of Sokhra, the brother of Zarmihr. These princes were also styled Ispehbeds. A descendant of Qaren was Vindad-Hormizd, who in conjunction with Shervin I of the house of Bavend, and with the Badusepan, Shahriyar I, conquered the Arabs in 783, but subsequently surrendered himself to Hadi and went to Baghdad till the latter became Khalif in 785.

Again the badge number 11,785 was not Mortimer's, as registered in Faust's book. Crane stood pondering over the complication. He saw that until further investigation disproved it there could be but one solution of this intricate riddle. Billy Cass, the maker of the bet, was a race track frequenter; David Cass was not.

As soon as this paper had been, read, he threw it into the fire, and bade Grenville rely on his memory for its contents. By Charles at Brussels the messenger was received as an angel from heaven. To the general, open copies were transmitted, that he might deliver or destroy the originals Hist. iii. 734-736. Price, 785. Philips, 605. Clar. Pap. iii. 706, 711.

By midsummer there had been a total force of 197 vessels manned, and partially equipped, with an aggregate of 29,744 tons, and 15,785 seamen. Of this fleet a very large number were mere coasters of less than 100 tons each; scarcely ten ships were above 500, and but one above 1000 tons the Triumph, Captain Frobisher, of 1100 tons, 42 guns, and 500 sailors.
