The "Terra Nova" had entered the bay and found the "Fram" there with the Norwegians working like ants unloading their stores and hut-building in rather a dangerous position quite close to the Barrier edge. Amundsen's people had about 120 dogs and a hard lot of men, mostly expert ski-runners.
The longest direct broad walk in Venice longer than the Riva begins at SS. Apostoli and extends to the railway station. The name of the street is the Via Vittorio Emmanuele, and in order to obtain it many canals had to be filled-in. To the loss of canals the visitor is never reconciled. Wherever one sees the words Rio Terra before the name of a calle, one knows that it is a filled-in canal.
Not only this, but the George River country, which it was his ultimate purpose to reach, was, and still remains, terra incognita; for although McLean made several trips up and down this river, he neither mapped it nor left any definite descriptions concerning it. Here, then, was an enterprise fully worthy of an ambitious and venturesome spirit like Hubbard.
Six of the English going here on shore to fetch water, four of the Indians came into their boat before they landed, to whom the Englishmen gave bread and wine; after eating and drinking of which heartily they went on shore, and when at some distance, one of them cried to them, and said, Magallanes! este he minha terra; that is, Magellan, this is my country.
By an adroit cut across the grass this outraged gentleman succeeded in overtaking the vehicle and boarding it by the step behind; and then, amid delighted shouts of "Whip behind, Dig!" the spectators watched the owner skip up the steps and along the top, just as "Dig," having received timely warning of his peril, dropped the reins and skipped the contrary way along the top and down the back stairs, depositing himself neatly on terra firma, where, with admirable sang-froid, he joined the spectators and triumphed in the final pulling up of the omnibus, and the consequent abandonment of the race by the indignant hero of the hansom cab, who protested in mock heroics that he was winning hand over hand, and would have licked the 'bus to fits if Dig hadn't funked it.
"Then what will you do when you are an angel, dear lady?" queried Aloysius, playfully "You will have to leave terra firma then! Have you ever thought of that?" She smiled. "I'm afraid I don't think!" she said "I take my life on trust. I always believe that God who brought me HERE will take care of me THERE! wherever 'there' is. You understand me, don't you?
Meantime during the absence of the dog teams, before there was anxiety on Scott's account, Pennell, responding to Atkinson's letter for help, brought the "Terra Nova" up towards Hut Point, and a party under Rennick conveyed me in pitiful state to the ship in my sleeping-bag. I was placed in the Captain's cabin, and given Drake and Day as nurses. I owe them a great debt too.
Santos and the rest of your crew will report to Terra base. Flip Villa will join them there. You’ll be on earth-leave for eight weeks, but it will take about that much time for Flip and the men to assemble the supplies and equipment we’ll need." He pulled a sheaf of papers out of the envelope. "Koa, here are orders for you and your men.
The well-meaning person who, by merely studying the logical side of things, has decided that 'faith is nonsense, does not know how truly he speaks; later it may come back to him in the form that nonsense is faith. A book has at one time come under my notice called 'Terra Firma: the Earth not a Planet. The author was a Mr.
The southern coasts of the West India Islands receive also every year, at the period of the inundations of the great rivers of Terra Firma, numerous flights of the fishing-birds of the Orinoco, and of its tributary streams.
