a game with me. Mv grandfather
in the presence o f death had hit
upon the expedient o f marrying the

This would make her inheritance
stronger in law, though he left a

But she had no mind to make e

She had therefore put an old wo­

nothing else to do with the matter

These ere as many vagaries in the

instance, should great ocean cur­

exist in well nigh all parts o f the
world.
It is on record that the sea has

sea, the ever flowing current to the
eastward around Cape Horn, the
cold stream flowing from the icy
regions of the north pMt Newfound­

of Florida, the continual current
running with a velocity o f from four
to five knots an hour through the
strait o f Gibraltar into the Mediter­

ning across the rocks and shoals off
the end of Billiton island, which ap­
parently starts from nowhere and
ends somewhere in the vicinity of
the same place, and the current
which, starting halfway up the Chi­

ends abruptly off the north end o f
