This proposal made the Earl of Worcester's party more eager for the siege than before, for they had no mind to a blockade which would leave the country to maintain the troops all the summer; and of all men the prince did not please them, for, he having no extraordinary character for discipline, his company was not much desired even by our friends.
I brought a volume of Dr. Hurd the Bishop of Worcester's Sermons, and read to the company some passages from one of them, upon this text, 'Resist the Devil, and he will fly from you. James, iv. 7.
"Well, here's a shilling for each of you if you keep it dark. I'm deucedly glad the dervishes didn't play. I'd rather lose a dozen housers than feel the niggers were indispensable. Now, cut; and next time you bottle 'em up, see they don't get out." "Golly!" said Rogers, as the two left Worcester to his tea. "I suppose the sun's affected Worcester's brain."
"Nantucket, May 12, 18 .... I send you a notice of an occultation; the last sentence and the last figures are mine. You and I can never occult, for have we not always helped one another to shine?

Here we first saw the rice-terraces for which these mountain people are justly famous, that is, terraces climbing the mountain-side. But of weapons we saw none. Change in aspect of country. Mount Amuyao and the native legend of the flood. Rice-terraces. Banawe. Mr. Worcester's first visit to this region. Sports. Absence of weapons. Native arts and crafts.
Worcester's great Quarto Dictionary is soon coming out, crammed with all manner of words to talk with, so that the Professor will probably find little room, except for an answer to a question now and then, or the acknowledgment of some hint he may have thought worth taking.
