Silebar River, which empties itself into Pulo Bay, is totally unlike those in other parts of the island. The motion of its stream is hardly perceptible; it is never affected by floods; its course is marked out, not by banks covered with ancient and venerable woods but by rows of mangroves and other aquatics springing from the ooze, and perfectly regular.
He had brought with him a complex copper implement, which his friends had supposed was a new species of theodolite, but which turned out to be a scientific coffee-pot, in the development of which and its purposes, as the man of science carefully explained, there was called into play some of the principles involved in the sciences of hydraulics and pneumatics, to which list Lewis added, in an under-tone, those of aquatics, ecstatics, and rheumatics.
'No, I want toffy; I have been eating Tom Trot all day. 'Where is Buckhurst? We must settle about the Aquatics. 'Well, I for one will not play if Fielding major plays amongst the Aquatics. That is settled. 'Oh! nonsense; he will pay his money if you ask him. 'I shall not ask him again. The captain duns us every day. It is an infernal shame. 'I say, Burnham, where can one get some toffy?
There is another club called the Aquatics, which belongs exclusively to the members of the boats. Cricketing is fine work; but, for my part, I like boating even better. Here, before a fellow is allowed to go on the river, he is obliged to learn to swim. It is a very necessary rule, for formerly many fellows lost their lives in consequence of being unable to swim.
A grim light came into the deeply set gray eyes of Jim Deacon as the coach put the watch into his pocket. Deacon was the stroke of the second varsity, an outfit which in aquatics bears the same relation to a university eight as the scrub team does to a varsity football eleven. But in the race just completed the second varsity had been much of a factor surprisingly, dishearteningly so.
'I declare he shall not play among the Aquatics if he does not pay his boating money. It is an infernal shame. 'Let us ask Buckhurst. Where is Buckhurst? 'Have you got any toffy? inquired a dull looking little boy, in a hoarse voice, of one of the vendors of scholastic confectionery. 'Tom Trot, sir. 'No; I want toffy. 'Very nice Tom Trot, sir.
It has a delightful scent when in bloom, and is highly worthy the attention of amateurs of flower gardens. It should be planted in September, and will grow in almost any soil or situation. TYPHA latifolia. TYPHA angustifolia. TYPHA minor. These are all very fine aquatics, and worth a place in all pieces of water; the foliage forms a fine shelter for water-fowl. VIOLA tricolor.
When I again became conscious, I found myself wrapped up in a pilot-coat, while my clothes were drying: the vessel was at anchor in Wexford. My attached friends had started for town with post-horses, leaving me no less cured of love than aquatics.
It was Camp Keewaydin's great day, when the Avenue and the Alley struggled for supremacy in aquatics. The program consisted of contests in swimming and diving, canoe upsetting and righting, demonstrations of rescue work, stunts and small canoe races, and ended up with a race between the two war canoes.
NUPHAR minima is also beautiful, but it is not common. It will form an ornament for pieces of water. NYMPHAEA alba. NYMPHAEA lutea. These are aquatics, and scarcely any plant is more deserving of our attention.
