This body, like the first of its kind, was very small, and was found to be moving from west to east in nearly the same orbit as its predecessor. Here then was something wonderful.
That night we accordingly made our way across the wide and lonely plain, having for our guide the constellation Virgo, which Pharaoh Nanjulian knew and pointed out to me with some learning. "Them that go down to the sea in ships," said he, "must needs learn a good deal if they would prosper.

The blank pages at the beginning and the end were filled up with pious reflections, besides some few words, which spoke volumes as to one period of his existence. The first words inscribed were; "Julia, obiit A.D. 1799. Virgo purissima, Maris Stella. Ora pro me." On the following leaf was written: "Antonio de Campestrina, Convient.

The poor girl was astonished, kissed my hand, and begged me to say nothing to her mistress. "I will not, my dear, but tell me truly whether you are still a 'virgo intacta'." "Certainly, sir!"
