The lesser conspirators, all men of the humbler sort Calendario, the architect, who was then at work upon the palace, a number of seamen, and other little-known persons were hanged; not like the greater criminals, beheaded between the columns, but strung up a horrible fringe along the side of the palazzo. The fate of Falieri himself is too generally known to demand description.
The warships anchored across the mouth of the river, whilst the transports proceeded some distance up the stream. Wi-ju is the only settlement of any size in this little-known region, though there are numerous fishing-hamlets scattered about. The soldiers improvised their camps along the bank.
The stately traditions of the colonial period were gone: since the accession of Jefferson, the Presidents no longer rode in pomp to address Congress at the beginning of each session; and inferior and little-known men crept into Congress.
Are our omnibus conductors and policemen to lose altogether that light which we see so often in their eyes, the dreamy light of 'Old unhappy far-off things And battles long ago' to quote the words of a little-known poet who was a friend of my youth? I have resolved, as I have said, so far as possible, to preserve the eyes of policemen and omnibus conductors in their present dreamy state.
Still, although this step of mine forced me to leave Cairo and go to Assouan, then a little-known place, to practise chiefly among the natives, God knows we were happy enough together till the plague took her, and with it my joy in life. I pass over all that business, since there are some things too dreadful and too sacred to write about.
For as far back as in the ninth century Ragusa was the capital of Dalmatia and an independent republic, and since that period her literary and commercial triumphs, and the tragedies she has survived in the shape of sieges, earthquakes, and pestilence, render the records of this little-known state almost as engrossing as those of ancient Rome.
The only place in the Valsesia, except Varallo, where I at present suspect the presence of Tabachetti is at Montrigone, a little-known sanctuary dedicated to St. Anne, about three-quarters of a mile south of Borgo-Sesia station. The situation is, of course, lovely, but the sanctuary does not offer any features of architectural interest.
It has been estimated that this deposit alone contains over 9,000,000 tons of asphalt. It is 135 feet deep, and though enormous quantities of the stuff have been taken out, the level has not fallen more than ten feet. In the lake are certain small islands, which move around from place to place, apparently following some little-known currents in the lower layers of the pitch.
Here one of the rare whalers, that occasionally called at that little-known spot, eventually picked him up, and he at length got back to Liverpool, with nothing but his tiny packet of little bright stones to show for all his months of hardship among the Bushmen.
"The milk submitted to us for examination on the 10th inst. has been carefully analyzed, and I beg to hand you herewith the result: "Specific gravity 1.036 at 15 degrees Cent. Water 84.60 per cent.
