Keary remarks, that, "in the legend which we have received it is in this instance only a case of finding; but if we could go back to an earlier tradition, we should probably see that the relation between the mythical times and the tree had been more intimate."
Mr. Polly dreamt always of picturesque and mellow things, and had an instinctive hatred of the strenuous life. He would have resisted the spell of ex-President Roosevelt, or General Baden Powell, or Mr. Peter Keary, or the late Dr.
The itching or pricking from which he suffers is also significant of that element, as appears, according to Keary, in many Norse, etc., legends. In the Seneca tale of the Mischief Maker, the Berries are distinctly declared to have souls. How Lox deceived the Ducks, cheated the Chief, and beguiled the Bear. Somewhere in the forest lived Lox, with a small boy, his brother.
To the Aryan the relation is a freer one. His god is more human, and art and imagination can do more in his service. E. Siecke, Die religion d. Indogermanen, 1897. C. F. Keary, Outlines of Primitive Belief among the Indo-European Races, 1882. The Aryans in Europe.

In the afternoon of April 5, 1916, the Turks tried to regain these trenches by means of a strong counterattack with infantry, cavalry and artillery, but were unable to dislodge the British forces.
His dispositions were, briefly, as follows: The greater part of a division under General Younghusband, assisted by naval gunboats, controlled the enemy on the left bank. The remaining troops were formed into two columns, under General Kemball and General Keary respectively, a reserve of infantry, and the cavalry brigade, being held at the Corps Commander's own disposal.
