As the flood came down the valley of the South Fork it obliterated the suburb of Woodvale, where not a house was left, nor a trace of one. The material they had contained rolled on down the valley, over and over, grinding it up to pulp and finally leaving it against an unusually firm foundation or in the bed of an eddy. The masses contain human bodies, but it is slow work to pick them to pieces.
In thinking of her lofty life there is no need of excuse or allowance; for human nature, as it was never more unassuming or simple, was never greater and lovelier than in her.

This is the end and reward of his services and sufferings.
They were instantly seized by Okiok and Angut, and dragged violently out not much too soon, for only a few seconds after they were rescued the ice closed with a grinding crash, that served to increase the fervency of the "Thank God!" with which the seaman hailed their deliverance.

Yes, I've drunk you in the wild woods; I've trailed you on the river; I've heard you in the grinding storm always the same, the soul of all beautiful things. Junia, you shall not put me away from you.
