The rest of the parish was divided between a population of dock laborers, settled there to supply the needs of the great dock which ran up into the south-eastern corner of it, two or three huge breweries, and a colony of watchmakers, an offshoot of Clerkenwell, who lived together in two or three streets, and showed the same peculiarities of race and specialized training to be noticed in the more northerly settlement from which they had been thrown off like a swarm from a hive.
The jealousy of Sparta was next aroused against the rising power of Olynthus, a powerful confederacy in the south-eastern part of Macedonia, which had become engaged in hostilities with some rival cities; and the Spartans readily accepted an invitation of one of the latter to send an army to its aid. The expedition against Olynthus led to an affair of much importance.
I had looked for her just before leaving the bungalow on my way back to the beach, and had sighted her, some six miles off, in the south-eastern quarter, heading to the southward, close-hauled, by which I judged that no further trouble need be looked for from her. But there were the dead on the beach to be disposed of, without loss of time. How could this disposal be best effected?
Hooker on widely separated mountains in this island tell the same story of a former cold period. From facts communicated to me by the Rev. W.B. Clarke, it appears also that there are traces of former glacial action on the mountains of the south-eastern corner of Australia.
We are now, as the map will show, at the south-eastern angle of the Palatine, of which, in fact, we are making the circuit; a and here we turn sharp to the left, by what is now the via di San Gregorio, along a narrow valley or dip between the Palatine and Caelian hills the latter the first we have met of the "hills" which are not isolated, but spurs of the plain of the Campagna.
At Lake Liemba, the south-eastern projection of the Tanganyika, Dr. Livingstone in 1867 saw no rain from May 12 to September, and in Many-wema-land, west of the central Tanganyika, about south latitude 5deg., the wet season began in November, and continued till July with intervals, marking the passage of the belt of calms.

In the southern and eastern districts "immense" ranges of mountains are said to occur; and the south-eastern as well as the north-eastern corners of the plateau are little else than confused masses of giant elevations. Vast flats, however, are found.
The distinction survives there between Kentish women and women of Kent, as a true South-eastern dame will let you know, if it is her fortune to belong to that favoured portion of the county where the great battle was fought, in which the gentler sex performed manful work, but on what luckless heads we hear not; and when garrulous tradition is discreet, the severe historic Muse declines to hazard a guess.
"Well then, let it be as you wish," said Akka. "Thanks!" said the boy, and he felt so happy that he had to cry for very joy just as he had cried before from sorrow. In south-eastern Skåne not far from the sea there is an old castle called Glimminge. It is a big and substantial stone house; and can be seen over the plain for miles around.
