Here, then, is an interval of a century. That is a short period for the growth of a legend.
After a long interval, however, 'The Perseverance' for that was her name was spoken somewhere in the vicinity of the ends of the earth, cruising along as leisurely as ever, her sails all bepatched and be quilted with rope-yarns, her spars fished with old pipe staves, and her rigging knotted and spliced in every possible direction.
The interval of six hours upon which he had been depending vanished instantly. To-day was but the continuation of yesterday. As he moved toward the breakfast-room at her side, the outside world disappeared as by magic, leaving only her world the world immediately about her, which she dominated. This room which she entered by his side was no longer merely the salle-

Madame Wang was seated all alone in the inner chamber indulging her sorrow.

His entrance into that city shows the progress which he and his followers had made in the interval.
Meantime I confess to have smoked one delicious pipe in one of the cleanliest and goodliest of the booths, a tent rather, "Oh, call it not a booth!"
