But the British fleet came up in May; and that summer three British armies converged on Montreal, where the last doomed remnants of French power on the St Lawrence stood despairingly at bay.

When we climbed a ridge, we found ourselves looking down on a spider-web of other valleys and cañons of the same nature, all diverging to broad downs and a jump into the sea, all converging to the outworks that guarded the volcano with its canopy of vapour.

In general the south sides are convex and irregular, while the north sides are concave both in their vertical and horizontal sections; the wind in ascending these curves converges toward the summits, carrying the snow in concentrating currents with it, shooting it almost straight up into the air above the peaks, from which it is then carried away in a horizontal direction.

As a usual thing, they came racing pell-mell down the three streets that converged at my corner; after school they as tumultuously went racing up, homeward.

The solution of this seeming contradiction is so very simple that it may assist a certain class of our readers if we explain it, by telling them that it arises solely from the fact that these degrees of longitude, which are placed sixty geographical miles asunder at the centre or middle of the earth, converge towards the poles, where they all meet in a point.

The glorious harmony of its colors,the force of the shadows, which seemed to be converging in the rays of a single unseen source of light, the unity of sentiment, which drew all the groups together, in the idea; I had seen all this before, but with the eyes of supercilious criticism.

The more rugged and inaccessible the general character of the topography of any particular region, the more surely will the trails of white men, Indians, bears, wild sheep, etc., be found converging into the best passes.

His path (there was no trace of road) ran snakily through a dense miniature forest of dwarfed, gnarled pines, of a peculiarly sombre green, ever and again in some scant clearing losing itself in a web of similar paths that converged from all points of the compass; so that the wayfarer was fain to steer by the sunand at one time found himself abruptly on the brink of a ravine that gashed the earth like a cruel wound.

Neither shot took effect, nor did the wolves give them any heed, but they and the skaters converged with perilous swiftness.

They had converged during the journey so that many were in place throughout the area of the search, ready to respond to any orders that might come.

A, small branch of pulmonary artery; B, twigs of the pulmonary artery anastomosing to form peripheral network of the primitive air cells; C, capillary network around the walls of the air sacs; D, branches of network converging for form the veinlets of the pulmonary veins.

While the roads converge like the rays of a wheel upon the inland town, each a stream of hurrying life, here the world flows to you more rarely and deliberately.

In the Apocynum Androsaemifolium, one kind of Dog's bane, the anthers converge over the nectaries, which consist of five glandular oval corpuscles surrounding the germ; and at the same time admit air to the nectaries at the interstice between each anther.

The sides of the springs are funnel-shaped, and converge until at the depth of thirty feet, the opening is about eight feet in diameter.

From this double enceinte of fortifications the lines of defence converged along the great boulevards, the Rue Royale, by the Ministry of Marine, the terrace of the Tuileries Gardens, the Place de la Concorde, the Palace of the Corps Législatif, the Rue de Bourgogne, and the Rue de Varenne.
