As, therefore, our little hero was not only without parents, but without name, he was re-christened by Adams by the cognomen of the "King's Own," and by that title, or his Christian name, Willy, was ever afterwards addressed, both by officers and men.
I was sure that his only reason for buying the horses was his desire to present them to us, which he afterward did. Max named his charger "Night," because of its spotless coat of black. Yolanda rode a beautiful white mare which we re-christened "Day."
But you can find their histories in early literature, and their names linger on old maps where they are given to promontories and other natural features which are gradually being re-christened.
We brought our Russian infantrymen and machine gunners up to the front sectors, gradually displacing Americans until finally on May seventh Major Nichols was relieved at Verst 455 it should have been re-christened Fort Nichols by Colonel Akutin, whose Russian troops took over the active defense of the front, with the Americans at Obozerskaya in reserve.
When I re-christened her the Pied Witch, I thought of you you witch to me...." It was signed, "Your loving husband, Zachary Pearse...." I lay at the edge of that cornfield a long time; it was very peaceful. The church bells had begun to ring.
Eumerella, or rather the Boyd fragment of that large, rich, and varied cattle area, was in charge of a versatile youth of the name of Craufurd, of a good Scotch family, whom, to the great amusement of my friend Fennell, I re-christened as Squire Hopeless, owing to his utter nonconformability to the monotonies of civilized life.

The Pelican, which Drake had re-christened the Golden Hind, alone remained to carry on the adventurous voyage. In due time then, when there seemed to be no more prospect of being rejoined by Winter, the Pelican proceeded on its expedition.
"May it please GOD not to make our friends so happy as to forget us!" Old Proverb. The Water-Lily was re-christened by Dennis, with many flourishes of speech and a deck tub of salt water long before we reached our journey's end. The Slut, as we now privately called her, defied all our efforts to make her look creditable for New York harbour, but we were glad enough to get her there at all.
I almost wonder they haven't re-christened all the worsted and knitting-cotton that bears her name. Fancy Lady Constantia's cotton, or Lady Anna-Maria's worsted. 'I didn't know there was a Lady Betty's cotton, said Molly. 'That proves you don't do fancy-work! You'll find Clare will set you to it, though. She used to set me at piece after piece: knights kneeling to ladies; impossible flowers.
"Before we go on board her, the yacht will be re-christened by Mary who will stay with her dear maiden aunt in our absence and will be named after your vessel Celsis. Her crew will consist of our silent friend, Captain York, of his brother as chief mate, and of your men now at Portsmouth, with half a dozen more.
