Did'nt know a Bowditch from a Bible when I went aboard ship. Can do my amplitude and variations now without looking at a nautical almanac. Can, sir, by Jove!" The ship bounded gallantly over the sea, leaving in her wake a long silvery train of phosphoric light. Drawing no response from Mr. Higgins, the captain raised his night-glass and scanned along the heavens to the west.
Bowditch will take the chair!" cried the prosecutor. At the summons, a thin, wizen-faced, stubbly-bearded man of fifty, his shirt-front stained with tobacco-juice, rose from his seat and took the stand. The struggle for possession of the bag must have been a brief one, for he was but a dwarf compared to the prisoner.
This gate forms the entrance to Scraptoft Hall, a building of the eighteenth century, now the seat of Captain Barclay, and which stands at about five miles from Leicester, England. The Architect. By E.W. BOWDITCH, C.E.
"By blowing into the other end of the tube the edges of the rubber bands will be set in vibration, and by touching the vibrating membrane at different points so as to check its movements it may be shown that the pitch of the note emitted depends upon the length and breadth of the vibrating portion of the vocal bands." Dr. H. P. Bowditch.
He was a romance character, and if his biography could be written it would be more interesting than that of some of our most celebrated men. Socially he was delightful; and a hundred friends could bear witness to his integrity, his fidelity, his kindly nature, his wit, humor, and keen appreciation. William Hunt the painter and Doctor Henry I. Bowditch were his two most intimate friends.
The black-eyed man beside me began to utter little groans. "I knew I was in for J. Harvey Bowditch," he said under his breath, "and I thought that was enough punishment for one day." At last Mr. Snider got back to the gold company. "From the earliest times, my friends, scientists have known of the existence of gold in sea-water.
Rumford showed that heat may be produced in indefinite quantities by friction of bodies that do not themselves lose any appreciable matter in the process, and claimed that this proves the immateriality of heat. Later on he added force to the argument by proving, in refutation of the experiments of Bowditch, that no body either gains or loses weight in virtue of being heated or cooled.
He thrust his right hand into the lapel of his coat, and commenced, in the deep booming tones of a bass-drum. "My friends," he said, "I shall detain you here for just one moment." "The poet Byron," he continued, "has written in words which must be forever immortal, of the deep and dark blue ocean. He said, " Mr. Bowditch talked for three quarters of an hour. That was his idea of "just one moment."
Snider and the Professor did, but I'm going back on the steamer with you." "How do they work this fake anyhow?" I stared at him. "Oh, come! You know it's a fake as well as I do. I knew it was one before I came, anything that Bowditch is in is always a fake. I'm sort of sorry, you know, to see these old roosters getting skinned so badly.
We could not acquit Bowditch of great exaggeration, had not later travellers as well as contemporary explorers confirmed his statements. We can therefore only express our astonishment that such a government, founded on terror alone, could have endured so long.
