At first it had the appearance of a huge berg, but with the growing light we could see plainly the black lines of scree and the high, precipitous cliffs of the island, which were miraged up to some extent. The dark rocks in the white snow were a pleasant sight.
The depot cairn is more than 6 ft. above the surface, very solid and large; then there are the pony protection walls; altogether it should show up for many miles. I forgot to mention that looking back on the 15th we saw a cairn built on a camp 12 1/2 miles behind it was miraged up. It seems as though some of our party will find spring journeys pretty trying.
The air increased in transparency with the lapse of minutes, till the topaz points showed themselves to be the vanes, windows, wet roof slates, and other shining spots upon the spires, domes, freestone-work, and varied outlines that were faintly revealed. It was Christminster, unquestionably; either directly seen, or miraged in the peculiar atmosphere.
Even in dense pack-ice, if the observations are taken from the deck of the ship or from a hummock or a low berg, the apparent horizon is usually sharp enough for the purpose. In very cold weather, however, and particularly if there are open leads and pools between the observer and the horizon, there is frequently a great deal of mirage, and the visible horizon may be miraged up several minutes.
The vision of a salon was miraged before her, with herself in the middle deftly manipulating the destinies of a nation. "Lady Tamworth!" a voice sounded at her elbow. "Mr. Dale!" She turned with a sudden sprightliness. "My guardian angel sent you." "So bad as that?" "I have an intuition." She paused impressively upon the word. "Never mind!" said he soothingly. "It will go away."
Perhaps most of their companions were up rooted and carried away. July 7. Another fine day; scarce a cloud in the sky. The icebergs in the bay are miraged in the distance to look like the frontal wall of a great glacier. I am writing letters in anticipation of the next steamer, the Queen. She arrived about 2.30 P.M. with two hundred and thirty tourists.
Do I obtrude them upon you even now? I am content to wait." "To wait for what?" she insisted. All that had been in his mind seemed suddenly miraged before him the removal of Hunterleys, his own wife's failing health. The way had seemed so clear only a little time ago, and now the clouds were back again.
To one thing he had instantly made up his mind, that, if this should prove to be more than a fancy of delirium the miraged portrayal of a villainy which had actually occurred he would track the assassin as he had tracked Spurling, till the last ounce of his strength failed him, that Spurling might be avenged.
"Many thanks for an extra fortnight in England," says the subaltern-who-knows; "we're not going till June the twenty-seventh." The adjutant, light duty, is replaced by an adjutant, general service. Mobilisation stores begin to trickle into the quartermaster's reservoir. But on June 27 the stores are far from ready, and July 6 is miraged as the next Date. This time it looks like business.
