Bishop F , of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Massachusetts, was a passenger on board the Kashgar, bound to Egypt, and on Sunday, February 11th, after the captain had read the usual services, he was invited to address the passengers; this he did in an eloquent and impressive discourse. It was a calm, beautiful Sabbath, a sweet tranquillity enshrouding everything.
The great mass of the ants had moved in the night, vanishing with every egg and immature larva; but there was left in the corner of the flat board a swarm of about one-quarter of the entire number, enshrouding a host of older larvæ.
"Don't she run like a duck?" said Bluff enthusiastically. "There's the land again, boys! No question but what the fog is being driven off by the wind," remarked Frank. They could see the shore from time to time, and every one realized that the enshrouding curtain was fast vanishing. "But, my! isn't it getting rough?" exclaimed Will. His remark caused the others to look at the speaker.
He was of a distinguished type; but the cloud enshrouding him was as heavy as any I had ever seen darkening about a man of his position and character. His manner, fettered though it was by gloomy thoughts, was not just the manner I had expected to encounter. He had a large, clear eye, but the veil which hid the brightness of his regard was misty with suspicion, not with tears.
The effect was of a place inclosed, secret, almost sumptuous, as the sun after his slothful rising began to diffuse softly crimsoned tints, which gave to the mist enshrouding the rows of houses to their summits the appearance of white muslin thrown over some scarlet material.
Presently the white shape began to be tinged with gray, and, as the color deepened, there grew out of it a paler form that seemed to steal out of the enshrouding gray like an apparition, spectral, awesome, mysterious. The skeleton was coming into view. "It is rather uncanny," said Dr. Norbury. "I feel as if I were assisting at some unholy rite. Just look at it now!"
He sent Edred to the chantry to pray for an hour, and met him there at the end of that time to listen to all he had to say. Edred's story was soon told nothing held back, not even the innermost thoughts of his heart and the expression of the face beneath the enshrouding cowl was something strange to see.
What is meant by it is a procedure whereby a man accounts for the fact of his marriage, after feminine initiative and generalship have made it inevitable, by enshrouding it in a purple maze of romance in brief, by setting up the doctrine that an obviously self-possessed and mammalian woman, engaged deliberately in the most important adventure of her life, and with the keenest understanding of its utmost implications, is a naive, tender, moony and almost disembodied creature, enchanted and made perfect by a passion that has stolen upon her unawares, and which she could not acknowledge, even to herself, without blushing to death.
Enormous cloud masses rose and fell about this barrier, now unfolding to reveal dark chasms and glittering glaciers, now enshrouding them again. In the middle distance the Tanana River wound and twisted its firm white line amidst broken patches of snow and timber far away to either hand, and, where glacial affluents discharged into it, were finer, threadlike lines that marked the many mouths.
We've got to get up those stairs, there, at the other end of the hall. This is no kind of place to meet them we're exposed, here. There's no protection!" "You're right." he answered. "Come!" Like ghosts they slid away, noiselessly, through the enshrouding gloom.
