She took no notice of this, and he went on: "Well, I won't try to put the general situation before you, though Dillon's accident is really the result of it.
Dillon's discoveries relative to the fate of La Perouse, will, of course, form prominent portions of this work, the popular title of which will be, "The Cabinet of Recent Voyages and Travels." A facetious gourmand used to say, that he had eaten so much beef for the last six months, that he was ashamed to look a bullock in the face. Twelve Years' Military Adventures.
