The cold was never very intense, though the thermometer remained below freezing, but about four o'clock every evening, the salt-water bay in which the schooner lay was veneered over with a pellicle of ice one-eighth of an inch in thickness, and so elastic, that even when the sea beneath was considerably agitated, its surface remained unbroken, the smooth, round waves taking the appearance of billows of oil.
He has in his third closet two huge pedestals, veneered in rosewood, and divided within, like cabinets of coins, into several layers. It is there that he has conveyed, one by one, all the finest diamonds of the Crown. He consecrates to their examination, their study, and their homage, the brief moments that his affairs leave him.

Fur fibre from surface of veneered felt, showing dye deposited in cells and on the surface, bright and lustrous. Wool fibre as in No. 2, with dye deposited on surface of proof. Section of proofed and veneered body, showing unproofed surface. The name or word "mordant" indicates the empiricism, or our old friend "the rule of thumb," of the age in which it was first created and used.
