Since this period, chronometers have been much improved, and excellent ones are very generally used: perhaps the most trying circumstances in which any were ever placed, existed during the voyage for the discovery of a northwest passage by Captain Parry; and then most of those he had with him were found to be extremely accurate.
When Shinau'av saw it fall, he was very angry, for he was extremely proud of his fame as a hunter and anxious to have the honor of killing this famous antelope, and he ran up with the intention of killing Togo'av; but when he drew near and saw the antelope was fat and would make a rich feast for the people, his anger was appeased.
For the extremely few and rare fossil remains of man which, moreover, do not give us any answer to the most important questions in regard to the mental and moral quality of the primitive man would be rendered complete by living examples of the kind, which remained at the old stages of development.
He came back to the remembrance of her presence and glancing at her, murmured: "Oh ah, no that is, yes strong, only with cream and sugar. Thanks awfully." But Halcyone did not rise to hand it to him, so he was obliged to get up and take it from where she sat. She perceived then that though extremely thin he was lithe and well-shaped.
When the stem is secured, the tendrils are seen to revolve in nearly the same manner and at the same rate as the internodes.

The Austrians now began intrenching themselves on the heights of Kosaningrad, the loftiest portion of the Tzer range. Along the Iverak ridges the Austrians made a determined advance. The situation of the Serbian troops in this section, the left wing of the Second Army, was extremely dangerous, for their left flank was becoming exposed by the continued retreat of the Third Army.
Thus I might have had the strength never to do anything against the honour of God, as I had it by nature not to fail in that wherein I thought the honour of the world consisted; and I never observed that I was failing in many other ways. In vainly seeking after it I was extremely careful; but in the use of the means necessary for preserving it I was utterly careless.
"I brought Mr Roe in to supper, thinking you and he might like a chat about the work in the Shell, about which he could have given you some useful hints. However, early hours are very commendable." "I am extremely sorry," faltered Railsford. "I had no idea you would be home so early. I should have liked to meet Mr Roe so much." "Take some more coffee?" said the doctor.
