That seemed one way out of the trouble, for the Nama was being crushed between the Brazilian steamer and the wall. But the order had come too late, for now the tug was wedged in, and no power could move her without tearing her to pieces, until the pressure of the big steamer was removed. So, wisely, the men in charge of the towing machines did not follow Captain Watson's orders.
The beautiful trogon, with bright scarlet breast and black back, uttered a most peculiar note, similar to that we read of as having once been emitted by Memnon, and likened to the tuning of a lyre. The boatmen answered it by calling "Nama, nama!" meat, meat as if they thought that a repetition of the note would be a good omen for our success in hunting.
Jean Daille, a French Protestant minister of the 17th century, in his treatise entitled La Religion Catholique Romaine Institute par Nama Pompile, demonstrates that "the Papists took their idolatrous worship of images, as well as all their ceremonies, from the old heathen religion."
"Yes, and we'll make the first pictures going through the Gatun locks," decided Blake. "Good! I am anxious to try my hand!" said their "pupil." With their baggage, valises, trunks, cameras, boxes of undeveloped film, other boxes to hold the exposed reels of sensitive celluloid, and many other things, the moving picture boys and Mr. Alcando went aboard the government tug Nama the next morning.
Alcando, with their cameras, films and other possessions, were soon transferred, to continue their trip, in the Bohio, which was the name of the new vessel. The Nama was left for the wrecking crew. "Well, this isn't exactly the quiet life we looked for in the canal zone; is it, Blake?" asked Joe that night as he and his chum were putting their new stateroom to rights. "Hardly.
From time to time one or other of that solemn company raised his voice, and chanted strangely; and all the choir responded in unison. These were the words, as they were afterward translated for me by the king. First Voice. Sang-Khang sara nang gach' cha mi! All. Nama Pootho sang-Khang sara nang gach' cha mi! First Voice. Tuti ampi sang-Khang sara nang gach' cha mi! All.
A man thinks as little of taking a wife as of cutting an ear of corn; affection is altogether out of the question. A village in ruins, and a small town called Nama, where they halted for a short time, were the only inhabited places they passed through during the day, till their entrance into the town of Leoguadda, which was surrounded by a double wall, and in which they passed the night.
Says I, "Josiah Allen, hain't it the same shape as a comma?" And he had to gin it up that it was. And in a minute or two she says agin, "Nama, what is the comma up there for?" Now hear that, how deep that wuz. Who could answer that question? I couldn't, nor Josiah couldn't. Nor the wisest philosopher that ever walked the earth, not one of 'em.
Once at the new Centre, Atmananda recited for me the money mantra. "Ya devi sarva bhutesu ratna rupena sangsthita nastasvai namastvai namastvai namo nama," he chanted soulfully. If I could have followed his words down the corridors of time, I would have seen him Ya devi... Dramatically increasing the cost of public meditation lectures and seminars. ... sarva bhutesu...
