"Come, Edith," she said, "that isn't fair, to take the discussion into regions where I can't follow you." Edith smiled, but made no rejoinder in words. Turning to Mr. Candish she remarked, with an abrupt change of subject, "When may I tell Melissa Blake about the Knitting School?" "I see no reason," he answered, "why she shouldn't know at once.
The translation is made from the Harvard original. Thomas Candish or Cavendish, was a native of "Trimley in the country of Suffolke." His fleet, consisting of three vessels, "The Desire," of 120 tons, "The Content," of 60 tons, and "Hugh Gallant," of 40 tons, left Plymouth July 21, 1586, with one hundred and twenty-three men in all, and provisions for two years.
The great object of Sir Thomas Candish in assaulting this town was to supply our wants, expecting to have got every thing of which we stood in need, when once in possession: But such was the negligence of Mr Cocke, who commanded on this occasion, that the Indians were allowed to carry every thing out of the town in open view, and no one hindered them; and next day, our prisoners were all set free, only four poor old men being kept as pledges to supply our wants.
"You know how Grant feels about New York, Edith," the former said. "If anything could spoil his temper, it is a day in what he calls the metropolis of Philistinism." "I never heard Mr. Herman say anything so harsh as that about anything," Candish responded. "Do you feel in that way about it?" "The thing which I dislike about the place is its provincialism," she answered.
At this place, a justly-merited punishment was inflicted on a Spanish pilot, taken in the Santa Anna, who had plotted to betray them to the Spaniards, and for which he was hanged. Candish remained here for nine days, all the time receiving ample supplies of fresh victuals, good water, and wood for fuel. The islanders are all pagans, who are said to worship the devil, and to converse with him.
These latter are made of sedges, and are either square or triangular. These canoes have this property, that they will sail almost as well against the wind as before it. On the 19th January, at day-break, Candish fell in with a head-land of the Philippine islands, called Cabo del Espiritu Santo.
"I remember now that she declined to be on a committee for the picture-show because, as she said, she had to run the campaign for the bishop." "The expression," Candish began, rather stiffly, "is somewhat" "It is hers, not mine," Helen replied. "I should not have chosen the phrase myself." "It is singular," Mrs.
And he abandoned the discussion. "It seems to me," pursued Mr. Candish, only half conscious that Mrs. Fenton had come to his aid, "that Bishop Blougram represents the most dangerous spirit of the age. His paltering with truth is a form of casuistry of which we see altogether too much nowadays." "Do you think," asked a timid feminine voice, "that Blougram was quite serious?
Pursuing the voyage, therefore, in the Desire, Candish directed his course for the Ladrones across the Pacific Ocean, these islands being nearly 1800 leagues distant from this harbour of Aguada Segura in California. This passage took forty-five days, from the 19th November, 1587, to the 3d January, 1588.
Arthur Fenton was a clever, selfish, wholly irreligious man; and I could not help seeing how completely he failed to understand or appreciate his wife. She was kind to me, and when her trouble came she turned to me for comfort and sympathy. It is my weakness that I love her; but she will never know it." "And does she love nobody?" demanded Ashe jealously. Candish turned upon him a look of rebuke.
