Our young hunters, in contemplating the grand tropical scenery of Borneo, were filled with admiration. The sylva was quite equal to anything they had witnessed on the Amazon; while the fauna especially in quadrupeds and quadrumana was far richer.
It was the autumn season, too, and the foliage, which had not yet commenced falling, had assumed those rich varied tints so characteristic of the American sylva various hues of green and golden, and yellow and deep red were exhibited upon the luxuriant frondage that lined the banks of the stream, and here and there drooped like embroidered curtains down to the water's edge.
Coke, however, did not shirk the task of enlightening her. "Something like that," he said. "We can't let you cut in with the rest of us, missy. That wouldn't be reasonable. But it's best to fix the business fair an' square. We ain't agoin' to try any other way, not so long as I'm skipper," and he looked with brutal frankness at De Sylva and the anxious but uncomprehending San Benavides.
It is very entertaining. His strongly enforced advice not to marry made a sensation among young Oxford men. "The ointment that witches use is reported to be made of the fat of children digged out of their graves; of the juices of smallage, wolf-bane, and cinque-foil, mingled with the meal of fine wheat; but I suppose that the soporiferous medicines are likest to do it." See Sylva Sylvarum, cent.
"I say, mister, 'ow is it done?" he went on. "It is a simple thing when you know the secret," said De Sylva. "Have you passed Fernando Noronha before, Captain?" "Many a time."

In a word, De Sylva commanded public sympathy but small resources; Barraca was unpopular but controlled the navy and part of the army. Given such conditions with the added absurdity that the troops on both sides were most unwilling to face long-range rifle fire but would cheerfully hack each other to mince-meat with knives and a tedious, indeterminate campaign is the certain outcome.
Some important move was toward, and the President and his chief-of-staff had no time to spare. "You have come to bring me luck, Carmela meu," said De Sylva, stroking his daughter's hair affectionately. "To-day we make our first real advance. Salvador and I are going to the front now, almost this instant.
It flashes out conspicuous with all the virtue and beauty of a Maple, Acer rubrum. We may now read its title, or rubric, clear. Its virtues, not its sins, are as scarlet. Notwithstanding the Red Maple is the most intense scarlet of any of our trees, the Sugar-Maple has been the most celebrated, and Michaux in his "Sylva" does not speak of the autumnal color of the former.
The story of the country mouse, who must needs see the town, occurs forcibly to his recollection, and he exclaims aloud: "me sylva, cavusque Tutus ab insidiis tenui solabitur ervo." On overhearing which, Mr. It is an axiom among fox-hunters that the hounds they individually hunt with are the best compared with them all others are "slow." Of this species of pardonable egotism, Mr.
The boat we possess is really a badly-constructed catamaran, without a sail, and minus the out-rigger which alone renders it safe for the shortest voyage." "Wy didn't you say that sooner, mister?" put in Coke. "If some of these jokers knew wot sort of craft it was, mebbe it wouldn't 'ave needed a shove in the stommick to bring Hans Olsen to heel." "I am sorry," said De Sylva.
