Página 197 - IN the golden age of the province of the New Netherlands, when it was under the sway of Wouter Van Twiller, otherwise called the Doubter, the people of the Manhattoee were alarmed, one sultry afternoon, just about the time of the summer solstice, by a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning. The rain descended in such torrents as absolutely to spatter up and smoke along the ground.
Página 85 - A number of systems are taught but that of Benn Pitman is more generally used than any other in this country, and may be called the "American System.
Página 46 - ... foam from its jaws as if nothing had happened. The mountains give- their lost children berries and water ; the sea mocks their thirst and lets them die.
