Página 81 - Department, for the improvement of the means for navigating safely the vessels of the Navy and of the mercantile marine, by providing, under the authority of the Secretary of the Navy, accurate and cheap nautical charts, sailing directions, navigators, and manuals of instructions for the use of all vessels of the United States, and for the benefit and use of navigators generally.
Página 296 - The roar of the gorilla is the most singular and awful noise heard in these African woods.

Página 171 - April the 27th; but we trod on " ignem repositum cineri doloso," and our imaginary safety was soon to be confounded by the* sudden iJanger of devastation. Just as the plantation bells rang twelve at noon on Monday the 27th, an abrupt and dreadful crash from the mountain, with a severe concussion of the earth, and tremulous noise in the air, alarmed all around it. * The resurrection of this fiery furnace was proclaimed in a moment by a vast column of thick, black...
Página 172 - April, the reflexion of the rising sun on this majestic body of curling vapour was sublime beyond imagination — any comparison of the Glaciers of the Andes, or Cordilleras with it, can but feebly convey an idea of the fleecy whiteness and brilliancy of this awful column of intermingled and wreathed smoke and clouds: it afterwards assumed a more sulphureous cast, like what we call...

Those only who have witnessed such a sight, can form any idea of the magnificence and variety of the lightning and electric flashes ; some forked zig-zag playing across the perpendicular column from the crater — others shooting upwards from the mouth like rockets of the most dazzling...
