Granting the existence of the rock, granting the truth of Johnson's story, granting everything, granting even that the young men are imprisoned there, of which we have not the slightest proof, we could no more succeed in capturing that place from a frail pleasure yacht " "It's built like a cruiser," said Katherine. "Even if it were built like a battleship we would have no chance whatever.
Granting, in spite of evidence, that Gladstone had no set plan of breaking up the Union; that he was party to no conspiracy; that he saw none of the results of his acts which were clear to every one else; granting in short what the English themselves seemed at last to conclude that Gladstone was not quite sane; that Russell was verging on senility; and that Palmerston had lost his nerve what sort of education should have been the result of it?
