Fison's knee as that gentleman rushed forward to seize him, and in another moment fresh tentacles had whipped about his waist and neck, and after a brief, convulsive struggle, in which the boat was nearly capsized, Hill was lugged overboard. The boat righted with a violent jerk that all but sent Mr. Fison over the other side, and hid the struggle in the water from his eyes.
The first human being to set eyes upon a living Haploteuthis the first human being to survive, that is, for there can be little doubt now that the wave of bathing fatalities and boating accidents that travelled along the coast of Cornwall and Devon in early May was due to this cause was a retired tea-dealer of the name of Fison, who was stopping at a Sidmouth boarding-house.
A savage example, in which a Fuegian native on board an English ship saw his father, who was expiring in Tierra del Fuego, has the respectable authority of Mr. Darwin's Cruise of the Beagle. Fison and Howitt's Kamilaroi and Kurnai. From New Zealand Mr.
To Bachofen we owe the notion of the maternal family and the maternal succession; to Morgan the system of kinship, Malayan and Turanian, and a highly gifted sketch of the main phases of human evolution; to MacLennan the law of exogeny; and to Fison and Howitt the cuadro, or scheme, of the conjugal societies in Australia.
