company supplying the army to require
a guarantee from the state against the
loss Of ships. But this was soon aban-
doned because damages had been COL
lected for sunken ships too worthless
to float.

speak Of n country as being fifty
two journeys distant from another-a
tourney" being reckoned usually as
20 miles. But Journey calls up no
suggestion whatever of a day now.
