But I am an annual subscriber because of Bill, and I have written a short article for the first issue also because of Bill. It is a most thundering scoop for the Daily, and made the Boss most awfully bucked up with me. You are a brick, dear old Governor." A little tear rolled out of Professor Wyvern's silly old eye, and he blew his nose in a series of terrific thunder-claps. "There!" he said.

It was so much the repetition of Emmet's revolt, ending in riot and loot and degradation nay, worse, it seemed a very pantomime. Suddenly, as the sound of maxims grew louder, a terrific black cloud rose into the sky.

The first great roller curled high above our heads, and broke with a terrific roar. As it did so we let go the plank and sank down, keeping our eyes turned upwards to watch when it had passed. Quickly returning to the surface, we again clutched the plank and shoved it before us. We had twice to perform the same operation before we reached the smooth water.

He foils them with His marvellous, simple answers, lashes them with His keen, cutting parables and finally Himself proposes a question about their own scriptures which they admit themselves unable to answer, and, utterly defeated, ask no more questions.

Try as we would, no movement could be produced. Reluctantly we unloaded and began the tedious task of relaying.
