the Azores was decidedly out of place
and unfortunate but not so surprising

nothing between him and Ireland but
water, and with no more preliminary
preparation than was taken in his
case, must either be afflicted with an
exaggerated ego or he devoid Of what
is termed ordinary common sense.
If Hawker had lacked an unlimited
confidence in himself, If he had not
possessed courage almost beyond the
comprehension Of the general run OF
mortals, one of the greateset accomp

newspapers. An observing individual
