Other voices mingled with hers lamenting, cursing, and entreating; for now the rainclouds burst, and through the window-openings poured a cold flood, chilling and wetting the drunken mob within.
A fleet of South-westerly rainclouds had been met in mid-sky by a sharp puff from due North, and the moisture had descended like a woven shroud, covering all the land, the house-tops, and the trees. Young Harry Boulby was at sea, and this still weather was just what a mother's heart wished for him.
The steel-grey sea quivers, sleepy and pulpy looking; in front of us, in a grey mist, lies the flat island of Aore, the air smells mouldy, and brown rainclouds roll over the wall of primeval forest surrounding the clearing on three sides.

On August 22 I made a flight with Lieutenant J., a splendid aviator; established the fact that the enemy was advancing toward us.

We had fine views of the scenery as we passed to and fro between the main building and the school-house the sea, fringed with cocoanut palms; the fertile level plain, dotted with trees, on which the village stood; and the green mountains, whose tops were generally dark with rainclouds or brightened with bits of rainbows.
