They've had too much to do with mankind." Great ships had been sent up towards the North Pole, to explore the most distant coasts, and to try how far men might penetrate up yonder.
Older children become inmates of the regular schools. The cargosita, when ornamented with a profusion of silk flags, resplendent with gaily colored ribbon streamers, handsome mats and a choice collection of small potted plants, palms and flowers; becomes a thing of beauty, well calculated to capture and fascinate the childish heart.
