English shore had been visible for some

Nez and past that point.
HOlhein was covering three miles an
hour for the greater part of the time,
but his progress toward England up to
$50 this morning was only represented
by eight miles, although he swan about
thirty. Holbein was dismayed when the
experts on the tug advised him to give
up the attempt. This he refused to do
for some time, but eventually yielded TO

scholar, and the study of wind and it's

the most terrifically powerful force

from opposite directions would meet.
For years he had prayed to all the
gods in his category for a material
demonstration of this force, but with
