He had a long run of minor successes, but I have won the only prize worth having, for which we have been rivals." Some days later the body of a sailor was washed ashore near Selsey Bill.

Chichester Harbour ends just west of the town and close to the Portsmouth high road at New Fishbourne, a pleasant little place with a restored Early English church. This may be said to be the north-western limit of the Selsey Peninsula, one of the most primitive corners of southern England.

To reach Selsey and its old church of Our Lady, what remains of it, from Pagham is not an easy matter, the footpaths across the fields being sometimes a little vague. The walk, however, is worth the trouble it involves, for you may thus gather some idea of the history of this unfortunate coast, which the sea has been eating up for at least fifteen hundred years.

After the death of Birinus, the zeal of his successors failed to evangelise the southeastern districts of Wessex, until, at length, came Wilfrid, fervent in zeal, and, stationing himself at Selsey, near Chichester, evangelised both Sussex and Wessex, sending out missionaries like-minded with himself, even into the most inaccessible wilds.

'Neither, said Lady Cannon, with dignity as she left the room. 'I was pitying Jane's sister.

One afternoon Cecil was in St James's Street when he remembered that there was an exhibition at Carfax's.

She was not there, for the sufficient reason that the Ithuriel's ram had sent her to the bottom of the Channel. For half an hour the Flying Fish and the See Adler hunted over the narrow waters, but neither was the Leger nor any other craft to be seen between the Selsey coast and the Isle of Wight.

The Looe Stream is a little dell that used to run through the park, and which to-day, right out at sea, furnishes the only gate by which ships can pass through the great maze of banks and rocks which go right out to sea from Selsey Bill, miles and miles, and are called the Owers.

'If she knew you, perhaps it would make her more interested in me! 'Do you think she'd come and hear some music here, said Lord Selsey, 'if I wrote and asked her? 'Yes, I think she might. There's no nonsense about her about etiquette and things of that sort, I mean. 'Then that's settled. You tell her about it, and I'll write. On Thursday afternoon.

Though Hereward had as yet no feud against "Bysshoppes and Archbysshoppes," save Egelsin of Selsey, who had excommunicated him, but who was at the other end of England, he had feud, as may be supposed, against Thorold, Abbot of Peterborough, and Thorold feud likewise against him.

The night was very warm and very silent, although little patches of foam murmured perpetually, and though the wind could be heard lightly in the weather shrouds. The star Jupiter shone brightly just above my wake, and over Selsey Bill, through a flat band of mist, the red moon rose slowly, enormous.
