The only time of the day when our spirits began to fail was toward its close, when the shadows of supper and bed in some inclement inn began to fall over us, and we confessed to each other a positive sense of fear in our evening approach to the abodes of men.

He met many wagons coming toward him, but there seemed to be few going in to the city.

It seemed to turn away, after a little distance, from the direct line to the city, and to bear to the west, toward the river.

Craft raised himself on his cane to lean toward Sharpman.

The counsel for the plaintiff can afford to laugh at their animosity toward himself, but he cannot help his indignation at their plot.

The brow of the hill which they were now descending hid the house at last from sight, and, with tear-blinded eyes, Ralph turned his face again toward the city, toward the misery of the court-room, toward the desolate and dreadful prospect of a life with Simon Craft.

Ralph resolved, at any rate, to do all that lay in his power toward the attainment of useful and honorable manhood.

The chamber in which the young man was laboring was the longest one in the tier, and the loaded car was usually at the foot of it when Ralph arrived with his trip of lights; so that he had only to run the empty car up into the air-way a few feet, take on the loaded one, and start back toward the plane.

A half-dozen or more of men and boys were there, crowding in toward the carriage-way, with fear stamped on their soiled faces, looking anxiously up for the descending carriage.

" Another blazing stick fell as the lad darted out from among the men and ran toward the foot of the plane.

At the same moment a man appeared from a lower entrance and hurried toward the group.

Instinctively he made his way along the passage to which he was most accustomed toward the foot of the plane.

The mule had been gazing contemplatively down the plane into the darkness; finally he turned and faced toward the interior of the mine.

He remembered how, long ago, he had resolved to strive toward the perfect manhood exemplified in this man's life.

To go into one would be to go still farther and deeper into the recesses of the old mine; to go into the other would be to go toward the slope, toward the outer world, toward his mother and his home.

is Ralphis Ralph" She was leaning toward him with clasped hands.

and he started rapidly down the hill toward the mouth of the shaft.

Keeping his gaze fixed on Cartwright across the roomfor the moment he showed his intention, Cartwright would shoothe maneuvered softly toward the bed.

On the side of the door toward which he drove there were only three men in the hall; behind him were more, far more, but their weapons were neutralized.

Into the gathering gloom she strained her eyes; toward Sour Creek she strained her ears, starting at every faint sound of a man's shout or the barking of a dog, as if this might be the beginning of the uproar that would announce the escape.

His intention must have been guessed, for she could not imagine that slippery and cold-minded fellow being thwarted, if he were left free to work as he pleased toward an object he desired.

Then she turned her horse back toward Sour Creek and urged it to a steady gallop, bouncing in the saddle.

He sank into the opposite chair, leaning far across the table toward her.

" Seizing the two ends of his garment he advanced towards the dog with the contortions and bounds of a wrestler; the animal, knowing this of old, endeavoured to escape through the nearest door, but the Tato, cutting off his retreat, drove him into the nave, and, pretending to pursue him, drove him from chapel to chapel, finally rounding him up where he could give him some good sound whacks.

" They walked on a little towards the great doorway of the Cathedral, so as to obtain a better view of the exterior face of the choir.

" The gardener's widow pushed Sagrario towards her Uncle, but the young woman lowered her head, moved her shoulders and drew back, as though she could not endure the presence of a member of her family; she covered her face with her wretched cloak to hide her tears.

The following day the weather was so clear that, in the early part of the morning, we distinctly saw the summit of the land at the back of Cape Tribulation, bearing North 43 degrees West (magnetic); it must have been fifty-five or sixty miles off; the fall of the land towards the extremity of the cape was also seen, bearing North 35 degrees 50 minutes West fifty-six miles.

Immediately after its return, for which we had been waiting four hours, we got underweigh, and were only just in time to save the breeze, which carried us out into the offing: after a short calm, the wind gradually freshened from South-South-West, and we steered on under easy sail towards Cape Tribulation.

Our course was held to the south-west towards Cape Londonderry; on which, with a fresh South-East wind, we proceeded with rapidity.

As we steered obliquely towards them, they were noticed to extend still farther to the eastward, but apparently in detached patches; our soundings, as we stood on, shoaled to fifteen fathoms; and we were shortly within half a mile of an appearance of shoal-water, in thirteen fathoms on a rocky bottom.

The wind was now unfavourable for our approaching the land, and after standing off to sea and then towards the shore we anchored in thirteen fathoms coarse sand.

General Decaen, the governor, was so much disliked by the inhabitants that Captain Flinders gained many friends at his expense who would not otherwise have troubled themselves about him; and this circumstance probably went far towards increasing the severity of the treatment he so unjustly received.

The former is low and sandy, and its outline of hummocky shape; and to the eastward was some distant land trending towards the assigned entrance of Swan River.

The country to the northward bears a different character; the shore is very low and sandy and continues so for some distance in the interior towards the base of a range of tolerably-elevated hills, on which the French have placed three remarkable pitons, but these, perhaps from our being too close in shore, we did not discover.

Another fort on the banks of the Yaqui, towards Ciboa, was named Esperanza, or the Hope.

Columbus exchanged some commodities with these Indians; and inquiring at them where gold was to be found, they pointed towards the east, on which he altered his course in that direction.

They afterwards departed towards Europe, where it was thought they never arrived, as we never heard any more news of them.

Of these four voyages, two were made through a vast extent of ocean towards the West, at the command of the illustrious Don Ferdinand king of Spain: The other two were to the south, in the service of Don Manuel king of Portugal.

An opportunity soon fortunately offered for satisfying this desire, as King Ferdinand of Spain fitted out four ships for the discovery of new countries towards the west, and was pleased to employ me upon this service.

On our approach towards the shore, many of the natives threw themselves into the sea, being most expert swimmers, and came to meet us with much appearance of kindness, and joined us in perfect confidence of security, as if we had been old acquaintances, which gave us much pleasure.

We therefore steered towards them, on which they all hastened to land, giving us to understand that they would soon return.

By and by we beheld several old women at the doors of the houses, who set up violent outcries, tearing their hair in token of great distress, by which we began to suspect some evil was intended towards us.

Accordingly, when we had reached to within an arrow-flight of the beach, they all advanced into the sea towards us, and began to let fly a vast number of arrows, using their utmost efforts to prevent our landing, insomuch that we were constrained to make several discharges from our artillery against them.

After many of them were slain, they at length took to flight, and we pursued them to one of their villages, where we took twenty-five prisoners, and burned the village; and we killed and wounded a great many more on our return towards the ships.

We accordingly stole out of the cabin, and resumed the path which led towards the shore.

While employed on that service, we saw some natives on the top of a hill at some distance, who could not be prevailed on to come towards us.

We at length doubled a head-land, which we named Cape St Vincent, which is 150 leagues from the place where our men were slain towards the east, this new land stretching out in a S.W. direction.

This cape is eight degrees beyond the equinoctial line towards the south .
