Two or three persons then set forward with the dogs, always coming up against the wind, and start the deer, when the sentinels at the different points fire at him as he passes, until he is brought down.

The entrance to the Mediterranean by the Straits, when the wind is unfavourable, is extremely difficult; but to pass out is almost impossible, the current continually setting in through the centre of the passage.

When the northerly wind blows, which, in Provence, is termed the mistral, the waves roll against the coast of Provence, and the recoil produces that ugly chopping sea for which this gulf is renowned.

A slight westerly breeze was blowing, and evidently impeded the progress of the storm, which was beating up from seaward against the wind.

Scarcely, however, was the clearing shut out of view when a little hesitating puff of wind from the east blew chill upon us; the breeze had veered, and the tempest was at hand.

Getting to leeward of the flames, the "fighters" kindle a counter-conflagration, which is drawn or sucked against the wind to the part already burning, and in this manner a vacant space is secured, which proves a barrier to the flames.

Be that as it may, it is well established, that, one stormy, gusty night, when the wind was howling in turret and tree, Mother Leeds gave birth to a son, whose father could have been no other than the Prince of Darkness.

The sun and the wind and Mr. Todd.

'I think the wind has just changed,' said Captain Cadurcis.

What are you staring at so, George?' 'I do not like this wind,' muttered Captain Cadurcis.

'You cannot see the wind, George?' 'Yes, I can, Venetia, and I do not like it at all.

Well, that is the wind, Venetia, and a very wicked wind too.

Well, that is the wind, Venetia, and a very wicked wind too.

Is that indeed the wind?' 'We had better return home,' said Captain Cadurcis I wish they had not gone to Lavenza.'

They walked on; but Captain Cadurcis was rather distrait: his eye was always watching the wind; at last he said, 'I tell you, Venetia, we must walk quickly; for, by Jove, we are going to have a white squall.

And even at this very instant, the wind came roaring and rushing with such a violent gush that Venetia could scarcely stand; George put his arm round her to support her.

These Mediterranean white squalls are nasty things; I had sooner by half be in a south-wester; for one cannot run before the wind in this bay, the reefs stretch such a long way out.'

'No cause,' thought he to himself, as the wind sounded like thunder, and the vapour came rushing up the ravine.

He says he is sure the wind would carry them on to Leghorn; and that accounts, you know, mother, for George not returning.

The night was dark and stormy, and the wind roared among the trees above our heads: the torches cast a red and flickering light on the rocks in our immediate neighbourhood, and just showed us enough of the depths of the forest to make the back ground more gloomy and unfathomable.

This wind brings them; nor no news over land, Through Spain, from the Straights? Gos.

If I could see you in a year, I'd wind the months in balls, And put them each in separate drawers, Until their time befalls.

No summer could for them; Or Arctic creature, dimly stirred By tropic hint, some travelled bird Imported to the wood; Or wind's bright signal to the ear, Making that homely and severe, Contented, known, before The heaven unexpected came, To lives that thought their worshipping A too presumptuous psalm.

She doth not wait for June; Before the world is green Her sturdy little countenance Against the wind is seen, Contending with the grass, Near kinsman to herself, For privilege of sod and sun, Sweet litigants for life.

And, by the way, now I think of it, I may as well open with a sunrise off Cape Guardafui, and a distant view of the Straits of Babel Mandel, give a passing glance at the sources of the Nile, which lie in that undiscovered region, a brief glimpse at the Mountains of the Moon, and wind up with a splendid sunset in the Bight of Benin.
