My visit being ended and the weather favourable, I proceeded to Christchurch preparatory to resuming work. I was accompanied by a young man named Evans, a stockrider from one of the Ashburton stations, and on arriving at the Rakaia, being in a hurry, we foolishly tried to ford the river without a guide, as I had frequently done at other times.
Among his colleagues in the honour were Sir De Lacy Evans and Sir John Burgoyne, fresh from the stirring exploits of the Crimea; but even patriotism, at the fever heat of war, could not command a more fervent enthusiasm for the old and gallant warriors than was evoked by the presence of Mr. Tennyson. In the year 1855 Mr.
Gradually the players began to take their places again. Clifford, too, showed a new face; Hollingsworth being substituted in place of Evans, as right end, the other having been injured in a scrimmage, thought not enough to get out at the time. It was Columbia's kick-off this time, and Jack Comfort was the one to do the honors which would inaugurate the second half of the game.
"I expect Florence has gone with our good friends. Come and see us, Miss Evans, soon. Good night; I will speak for both. Florence has gone away in spirit." At this Florence roused, and kissed Miss Evans good night. She had no words.
Scott would have preferred Wright to remain at Cape Evans, because he had now relieved Simpson as physicist Simpson being recalled by the Indian Government. So it was decided that Cherry-Garrard should take out the teams, which he did, with twenty-four days' food for his own unit and two weeks' surplus stores for the Southern party, with all kinds of special delicacies.

She ordered the two gowns which she had worn at the audiences when she received Admiral Evans and Mrs. Evans, to be brought in, and also the same jewels as she had worn on those respective occasions.

Evans also discovered a stately sepulchre, whose occupant had evidently been some Minoan King of the Third Middle period. The tomb consisted of a rectangular chamber measuring about 8 by 6 metres, and built of courses of limestone blocks, which projected one beyond the other until they met in a high gable, forming a false arch similar to those of the beehive tombs at Mycenæ.
"Look for him, for God's sake, look!" and struggling from under his living load, he peers into each pale and bleeding face. "Where is he? Why don't you speak, forward there?" "Because we have naught to say, sir," answers Evans, almost surlily. Frank was not there. "Put the boat about! To the shore!" roars Amyas. "Look over the gunwale, and judge for yourself, sir!"
