It was only a crack in the berg, followed by the dislodgement of a great mass, which fell from the roof to the floor below fortunately at some distance from the spot on which the Eskimos stood.

After all the boasting of the Opposition in spite of their vehement efforts during the recess, to concert and mature what were given out as the most formidable system of tactics ever exhibited in parliament, for the dislodgement of a Ministry denounced as equally hateful to the Queen and to the country, the very first division utterly annihilated the Opposition.
