well set beneath n full and arched brow,
gave an animated and intelligent look 10

broad, is deeply wrinkled, and time has

Cock of dark hair falling down from his
chin. Whether from his recent captivity
or from constitutional causes, there is
somehow an air of lossitude in his look, to
which the fatigues, ,of his voyage not i'm
probably contributed. Altogether he gives
one the idea Of man of thought rather
than man of action; there is IA 81 e.ulativc
air in his face, mingled with degree Of
melancholy, whicl, would mark n for
visionary or theoretical enthusiast rather
than for great leader or soldier.

pilot about an hour afterwards and pur-

after the pilot left, dense fog set in--so
