Abia, a pretty Biota girl of seventeen, made her way to his solitary habitation at the peril of her life, to inform him that the men of Rapa would shortly bring him insects and other presents, in order to get near him without suspicion, and then kill him. He tried to reward the brave girl by hanging a gold chain about her neck, but she refused it, saying it would betray her.
On the other hand, the existence of a most intimate connection between the agriculture of the one country and that of the other is attested by their possessing in common all the oldest expressions relating to it; -ager-, agros ; -aro aratrum-, aroo arotron ; -ligo-alongside of lachaino ; -hortus-, chortos ; -hordeum-, krithei ; -milium-, melinei ; -rapa-, raphanis-; -malva-, malachei ; -vinum-, oinos . It is likewise attested by the agreement of Greek and Italian agriculture in the form of the plough, which appears of the same shape on the old Attic and the old Roman monuments; in the choice of the most ancient kinds of grain, millet, barley, spelt; in the custom of cutting the ears with the sickle and having them trodden out by cattle on the smooth-beaten threshing-floor; lastly, in the mode of preparing the grain -puls- poltos , -pinso- ptisso , -mola- mulei ; for baking was of more recent origin, and on that account dough or pap was always used in the Roman ritual instead of bread.
The pulp is used with sour apples to make pies. In scarcity it is a good substitute for fruit. KOHLRABBI, or TURNEP-ROOTED CABBAGE. Brassica Rapa var.
Of borecole we have two varieties; the purple, and green. The former is in much esteem amongst the Germans, who make a number of excellent dishes from it in the winter. The culture is the same as for winter cabbage of other kinds. BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Brassica Rapa.

Five hundred miles beyond this focalpoint, its convict settlement long abandoned, was Easter Island, Rapa Nui, home of the great monoliths whose origin had ever been a puzzle. Erect or supine, these colossal statues were strewn all over the island. Anthropologists and archaeologists still came to give them cursory inspection and it was on such a visit an unmistakable clump of Grass was found.
I'm going ashore." The husky voice of the Norwegian mate was raised for'ard, and half a dozen strapping Rapa Islanders ceased their singing and manned the boat. "I came to see Folly, Mr. Folly, I imagine," David Grief told Lavina. He noted the quick interest in her eyes as she turned her head and flung a command in native across two open rooms to the outstanding kitchen.
The roots of this variety are used both in soups and for early spring salads: it is cultivated by sowing the seeds in March; and the roots are usually kept all winter. The white beet is only a variety of the other; and it is the tops that are usually eaten of this kind as a substitute for spinach. Its culture is the same as that of the red kind. BORECOLE. Brassica Rapa.
Then, with my parallel rulers, I laid down a course from the Snark's position to Port Resolution. Having corrected this course for variation and deviation, I went on deck, and lo, the course directed me towards that unbroken coast-line of bursting seas. To my Rapa islander's great concern, I held on till the rocks awash were an eighth of a mile away.
