could be bought ready made were large

pounds. He was unusually strong, and
could lift his own tent with one hand
and throw Il into a camp wagon.
His hair was chestnut brown; the
head not large, and his wrists and
finger joints so huge that they were
genuine curiOsitfes-
He was an enormous eater. Though
content with bread and meat he had
to have plenty Of both. Hunger put
him in a rage He had false teeth

task he was obligated to perform. He
lived through stormy period in our
history, making that history in large
part by his own decisions and judg-

and a good deal came-WithOut any

boy, was to become a sailor and to
join the navy Of the English king. IL
