Praise be to Thee, O Thou Who art the Well-Beloved of all that have known Thee, and the Desire of the hearts of such as are devoted to Thee, inasmuch as Thou hast made me a target for the ills that I suffer in my love for Thee, and the object of the assaults launched against me in Thy path.

Should they be attacked by a stray machine they are armed and quite capable of guarding themselves against any attack except one in force.

"'I'm dyin', Aigypt dyin', he says; ay, those were his words, for I remimber the name he called her.
The Dewey was stripped for action and was to assist the destroyers in defense of the transports in the event of an attack. The first day out was spent in drills and target practice. Late in the afternoon a huge warship was sighted dead ahead and for a time there was a bit of anxious waiting aboard the Dewey.
Promotion, that insatiable hunger, was the greedy dream of all that little world of intriguing, underhand, begging employés, who opened up around the new minister so many approaches, like military lines around a redoubt. Sulpice felt himself besieged and the target for a crowd of greedy ambitions.
