When by any chance I imagined your eyes were turned my way the ground swell became a tidal wave.

The wind during each day was moderate from the South-South-West and South by West, freshening during the night from South, and South by East; a heavy swell was its constant companion, and the barometer fell to 29.75.

These are not only "social swells, would-be superior persons and orthodox theologians, but even a man of light and learning like Mr. F. Harrison."

This, with the level stretches of prairie giving place to rough, rolling swells covered with scrub timber, was not a pleasant thing to think of and even less pleasant to attempt.

This heavy long swell is an old acquaintance, though I never was in close enough to see the land, hereabouts, before.
