We hastened on, but the trail became almost undistinguishable before the lights of Port Gamble appeared below us. As we descended to the settlement, we were met with almost as much excitement on the part of the mill people, who had never crossed the trail, as if we had risen from the water, or floated down from the sky, among them.
The displacements of an amoeba in a drop of water would be comparable to the motion to and fro of a grain of dust in a draughty room.
