Not a sound broke the utter, solemn silence as they walked along. "There is typhus and barbarity in every peasant's hut," Constantine muttered. Then he, too, lapsed into silence, listening. Beyond some huts on a village by-path girls' voices could be heard singing an Annunciation hymn. In the vasts depths of silence it sounded solemn, simple, sane.
These might be called the ministerial views. But oppositions have the illimitable range of objections at command, which need never stop short at the boundary of knowledge, but can draw forever on the vasts of ignorance.

They cared nothing for the claims of the Indians whose homes were there.
I was glad that none had come to see me off, for I was curious about my unknown companions upon the long traverse to the South Seas, and I had wilfully put behind me all that America and Europe held to adventure in the vasts of ocean below the equator. But the whistle I awaited to sound our leaving was silent.
