"Let your statue be beautiful, but neglect not the pedestal, lest with every adverse wind it receive a shock."

The Rais attempted to advance by cordelling the boat; but the force of the wind and current prevented the boatmen from gaining more than two or three miles along the coast of the island, where we landed yesterday. We were therefore obliged to pass a great part of this day and all night by the shore.

Again the wind struck the ship with tremendous force, the lightning, as before, playing round her, crackling and hissing as it touched the wildly tossing waves. Suddenly there came a frightful crash.

When the lieutenant looked at her she was quivering with the impact of the shot, and the next moment she began falling off to the wind, and he could see the wounded men rising and falling and struggling upon her decks.

Darkness was falling rapidly, but she could distinguish his small figure against the snow, and his halting gait. 'What is it, Arthur? what is it, lammie? 'O Cousin Mary Anne! Cousin Mary Anne!

If we turn back now, it would look as if we were afraid to trust the Butterfly above the ocean, and, after all, it is a naval contest that we hope to be elected for."
