CHAPTER XI

A CALL FROM THE STERN

For the instant after Tom slipped over the side of the _Golden Wave_, Dan Baxter was too dazed to do more than stare at the spot where he had last seen the boy with whom he had been struggling.

"Gone!" he muttered presently. "Gone!" he repeated and crouched back in the darkness.

The great beads of perspiration came to his brow as he heard rapid footsteps approaching. Would he be accused of sending Tom Rover to his death?

"What's the trouble?" came in the voice of Captain Blossom.

Instead of answering, Dan Baxter crept still further back. Then, watching his chance, he darted into the forecastle.

"Hullo, the rail is broken!" he heard the captain exclaim. "Bring a lantern here, quick!"

A sailor came running with a lantern, which lit up the narrow circle of the deck near the rail and part of the sea beyond.

"Somebody gave a cry," said the captain, to those who began to gather. "Looks to me as if the rail gave way and let somebody overboard."

"Tom Rover was on deck," came from old Jerry. "Do you reckon as how it was him?"

"I don't know. It was somebody, that's certain. Call all hands at once."

This was done, and Dan Baxter had to come out with the rest. He was pale and trembled so he could scarcely stand.

"All here," said Captain Blossom. "Must have been one of the Rover boys or one of the young ladies."

The AtlanticCongo languages are a major division constituting the core of the NigerCongo language family of Africa, characterised by the noun class systems typical of the family. They comprise all of NigerCongo except Mande, Dogon, Ijoid and the Katla and Rashad languages (previously classified as Kordofanian). Mukarovsky's West-Nigritic corresponded roughly to modern AtlanticCongo.

In the infobox at the right, the languages which appear to be the most divergent (Senufo, Kru) are placed at the top, whereas those closer to the core (the similar "BenueKwa" branches of Kwa, VoltaNiger and BenueCongo) are near the bottom. The erstwhile Atlantic branch has been broken up into Senegambian, Bak, Mel, Gola and Limba, which are left next to each other merely because there is no published evidence to move them; VoltaCongo (Savannas through BenueCongo) is intact apart from Kru and Senufo. If Kwa or Savannas prove to be invalid, the tree will be even more crowded.

There are a few poorly attested languages, such as Bayot and Bung, which may prove to be additional branches.

"Glottolog" (2013) does not accept that the Kordofanian branches (Lafofa, Talodi and Heiban) or the difficult-to-classify Laal language have been demonstrated to be AtlanticCongo languages. It otherwise accepts the family, but not its inclusion within a broader NigerCongo.

1. What are the Kordofanian branches?
2. Who does not agree that they are Atlantic-Congo in origin?
3. When did they state this opinion?
4. What are the Atlantic-Congo languages a part of?
5. What are they defined by?
6. Name a language not comprised by the Atlantic-Congo family.
7. And another?
8. And one more?
9. What was categorized as Kordofanian?
10. Which languages are the most divergent?
11. What has the Atlantic branch been broken into?
12. Have Gola and Limba been well-studied?

Numbered answers:

A: 1. Lafofa, Talodi and Heiban
2. Glottolog
3. in 2013
4. the NigerCongo language family
5. the noun class systems typical of the family
6. Mande
7. Dogon
8. Rashad
9. the Katla and Rashad languages
10. Senufo and Kru
11. Senegambian, Bak, Mel, Gola and Limba
12. no

Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble may be foliated. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however, stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.

The word "marble" derives from the Ancient Greek , from , "crystalline rock, shining stone", perhaps from the verb , "to flash, sparkle, gleam"; R. S. P. Beekes has suggested that a "Pre-Greek origin is probable."

This stem is also the basis for the English word "marmoreal", meaning "marble-like." While the English term resembles the French ', most other European languages follow the original Greeksee Persian and Irish ', Spanish ', Italian ', Portuguese ', Welsh, Slovene, German, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish ', Finnish "marmori," Romanian ', Polish ', Dutch ', Turkish '," "Czech ', and Russian ). In Hungarian it is called '.

Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite rock. Metamorphism causes variable recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. The resulting marble rock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals. Primary sedimentary textures and structures of the original carbonate rock (protolith) have typically been modified or destroyed.

2. what is it?
3. what is it made of?

5. how many?
6. what are they?
7. what type of scientists are mentioned in the article?
