They build, equip and guarantee dirigibles. Standard Dig construction Co. Millwall and Buenos Ayres POWELL'S Wind Hovers for 'planes lying-to in heavy weather, save the motor and strain on the forebody. Will not send to leeward.
Hooper & Co., of Millwall, and the wire was coated with india-rubber, then a new insulator. During the next two years the Brazilian system was connected to the West Indies and the River Plate; but Jenkin was not present on the expeditions. While engaged in this work, the ill-fated La Plata, bound with cable from Messrs.
"Hold hard," yelled our skipper, and the Lizzie slipped into the turmoil of the tug's wake. There would be Millwall. The tug and the turmoil had gone. We were alone again in the beyond. There was no sound now but the water spattering under our craft, and the fumbling and infrequent splash of the sweep.
And if we had a blizzard like that of three weeks ago, how long would its vestiges linger in the side-streets of Millwall? Even as I mark the grimness of the scene, I am conscious of a sort of hyperæsthesia against which one ought to be on guard.

It is now twenty years since I constructed an iron house, with the machinery of a corn-mill, for Halil Pasha, then Seraskier of the Turkish army at Constantinople. I believe it was the first iron house built in this country; and it was constructed at the works at Millwall, London, in 1839."
And there were boats there too, far more than you would think any one could want; and then a boy came. We said we wanted to go across the river, and he said, "Where to?" "To where the Chinamen live," said Alice. "You can go to Millwall if you want to," he said, beginning to put oars into the boat. "Are there any Chinese people there?" Alice asked. And the boy replied, "I dunno."
Once we heard the miniature bark of a dog, distinct and fine, as though distance had refined it as well as reduced it. We were nearly round the loop the River makes about Millwall, and this unknown region before us was Blackwall Reach by day, and Execution Dock used to be dead ahead.
But Dora said, "Well, you may say I'm always preaching, but I don't think Father would like Alice to be fighting street boys in Millwall." "I suppose you'd have run away and let the old man be killed," said Dicky, and peace was not restored till we were nearly at Greenwich again.
