The last report was three feet, and the keel was evidently grinding through the soft mud. Then he rang to back her; and when she had increased her depth to four feet, he struck the gong to stop her. "Dinner is ready, gentlemen," said Pitts. "We must attend to that before we do anything more," added the captain. "Keep a sharp lookout ahead, Clingman."
Clingman bowed, and, after writing minute instructions upon a sheet of paper left on the mantelpiece, took his departure. Securing the door on the inside, Mrs. Carlyle threw aside her bonnet and wrappings, and came back to the sufferer on the bed.

Achang had completed the skinning of the orang, and the skin was now drying in the sun.
The Coast and Geodetic Survey gave the height of Mount Mitchell as 6,688 feet; but later figures of the U. S. Geological Survey are 6,711 and 6,712. In 1859 Buckley claimed for Clingman Dome of the Smokies an altitude of 6,941 feet. In recent government reports the Dome appears variously as 6,619 and 6,660. In 1911 I was told by Mr.
