Σελίδα 395 - was a plain throughout, as even as the sea, and full of wormwood ; if any other kinds of shrubs or reeds grew there, they had all an aromatic smell ; but no trees appeared.
Σελίδα 288 - a burthen to my friends, and useless to my country : but by my last letter you will perceive my anxiety for the promotion of my son-inlaw, Josiah Nisbet. When I leave your command, I become dead to the world : — ' I go hence, and am no more seen.
Σελίδα 288 - Admiral made the signal to tack in succession : but perceiving all the Spanish ships to bear up before the wind, evidently with an intention of forming their line, going large, joined their separate divisions, at that time engaged with some of our centre ships, or flying from us, — to prevent either of their schemes from taking effect, I ordered the ship to be wore ; and passing between the Diadem and Excellent, at a quarter past one o'clock, was engaged with the headmost, and of course leewardmost,...
Σελίδα 288 - If from poor Bowen's loss you think it proper to oblige me, I rest confident you will do it. The boy is under obligations to me ; but he repaid me by bringing me from the mole of Santa Cruz. I hope you will be able to give me a frigate to convey the remains of my carcass to England.
