Wilson, C.E., produced an intermittent light by the use of gas, which leaves little to be desired, and which is still in use at Troon harbour. By a simple mechanical contrivance, the gas jet was suddenly lowered to the point of extinction, and, after a set period, as suddenly raised again. The chief superiority of this form of intermittent light is economy in the consumption of the gas.

The only other passenger besides him who was not connected with farming was Mr Kerr, to whom I became much attached. He was well-informed on subjects I had heard of but knew nothing, and we talked by the hour. His companionship was to me an intellectual awakening. Among his purchases in Troon was material for a suit of clothes, which he made during the voyage, for he was a tailor.

You are fretting about something. Tell me what it is. Do you not wish to go to Troon with us, or would you rather go to Bourhill? Do tell us what you would like best to do? They were quite alone in the little morning-room, which had been given up to the girls of the house to adorn as they liked.

From thirty to fifty pounds a month is a common charge for a neat villa at one of the last founded and most fashionable places.

Travellers again entered the carriage, and they went on with a crowd of persons till they reached the platform at which they changed the carriage for Troon. Then they were again alone, for a few minutes, and Lizzie with infinite courage determined that she would make her last attempt. "Frank," she said, "you know what it is that I mean. You cannot feel that I am ungenerous.

It was a pretty corner, dainty, home-like, cosy, with a long window opening out to the garden, which was as beautiful as it is possible for a city garden to be. Gladys gave a little start, and coloured slightly under Clara's earnest gaze. 'I am quite happy at the idea of going to Troon; remember I have never seen the sea, she answered quickly. 'What makes you think I am unhappy?

I could never, without horror and indignation, read that passage in the twenty-third book of the Iliad, which describes twelve valiant Trojan captives sacrificed by the inhuman Achilles at the tomb of his friend Patroclus. Dodeka men Troon megathumon uias eathlous Tous ama pantas pur eathiei. Twelve generous Trojans slaughtered in their Bloom, With thy lov'd Corse the Fire shall now consume.

Next morning Gladys drove her guest into Troon, and at sight of the great sea, its breast troubled with wintry storms, tossing and rolling in wildest unrest, Teen appeared for the first time really moved. 'It's fearsome, she said in an awe-stricken whisper, 'fearsome! Michty me, look at the waves! It's fearsome to look at. 'How odd that it should strike you so! exclaimed Gladys.
