The Life Story of the Gallant Captain Aaron Sproul Written by His Affectionate Wife "I reckon that Providunce put her finger on my compass when I steered this way. Louada Murilla," said the Cap'n one day, pausing to relight his pipe. He had insisted on renaming his wife "Louada Murilla," and she had patiently accepted the new name with the resignation of her patient nature.
A shrill whistle startled the jungle folk. The engines throbbed, and one after another the boats responded. A cheer went up from the banks. Piang had been given the honor of renaming the boats. The smallest one bore the name of his mother, Minka.

He was sure of the Euphrates passage and had made his footing good on the Syrian bank. But we cannot be certain; for, though his known records mention the renaming of no other Syrian cities, many may have been renamed without happening to be mentioned in the records, and others may have been occupied by standing Assyrian garrisons without receiving new names.
Browning's productions, and many of those that are best remembered at the present day.
