Strana 484 - All in a hot and copper sky, The bloody Sun, at noon, Right up above the mast did stand, No bigger than the Moon. Day after day, day after day, We stuck, nor breath nor motion; As idle as a painted ship Upon a painted ocean.
Strana 161 - Afterwards they went on shore at a place where a river, issuing from a lake, fell into the sea. They brought their ship into the river, and from thence into the lake, where they cast anchor. Here they constructed some temporary...
Strana 143 - So striking, indeed, is this likeness, that different races, in similar stages of development, often present more features of resemblance to one another than the same race does to itself in different stages of its history.
Strana 131 - ... the same races who inhabited the country at the time of the Spanish conquest, or of some not very distant progenitors.
Strana 64 - The stores were in common ; but woe to the luckless husband or lover who was too shiftless to do his share of the providing.

Strana 63 - ... the center of the house from end to end. At each end was a doorway covered with suspended skins. Between each four apartments, two on a side, was a fire-pit in the center of the hall, used in common by their occupants. Thus a house with five fires would contain twenty apartments and accommodate twenty families, unless some apartments were reserved for storage. They were warm, roomy, and tidilykept habitations.
Strana 1 - The surface is covered to a depth of several inches with vegetable mould, and large trees grow on them, some more than a century old. The special feature to which we now call attention is "that at the present time oysters are only found in very small numbers, too small to make it an object to gather them ; and we were credibly informed that they have not been found in larger quantities since the settlement in the neighbourhood.
