Runo XLII]

At the copper mountain’s entrance,

There beside the stony fortress,

And the castle doors were shaken,

And the iron hinges trembled.

Thereupon smith Ilmarinen,

Aided by the other heroes,

Overspread the locks with butter,

And with bacon rubbed the hinges,

That the doors should make no jarring,

And the hinges make no creaking.

Then the locks he turned with fingers,

And the bars and bolts he lifted,

And he broke the locks to pieces,

And the mighty doors were opened.

Then the aged Väinämöinen

Spoke aloud the words which follow:

“O thou lively son of Lempi,

Of my friends the most illustrious,

Come thou here to take the Sampo,

And to seize the pictured cover.”

Then the lively Lemminkainen,

He the handsome Kaukomieli,

Always eager, though unbidden,

Ready, though men did not praise him,

Came to carry off the Sampo,

And to seize the pictured cover,

And he said as he was coming,

Boasted as he hastened forward,

“O, I am a man of mettle,

And a hero-son of Ukko!

I can surely move the Sampo,

And can seize its pictured cover,

Standing on my right foot only,

If I touch it with my shoe-heel.”

Lemminkainen pushed against it,

Turned himself, and pushed against it,

Pushed his arms and breast against it,

On the ground his knees down-pressing,

But he could not move the Sampo,

Could not stir the pictured cover,

For the roots were rooted firmly

In the depths nine fathoms under.

There was then a bull in Pohja,

Which had grown to size enormous,

And his sides were sleek and fattened,

And his sinews of the strongest;

Horns he had in length a fathom,

One-half more his muzzle’s thickness.

So they led him from the meadow,

On the borders of the ploughed field,

Up they ploughed the roots of Sampo,

Those which fixed the pictured cover,

Then began to move the Sampo,

And to sway the pictured cover.

Then the aged Väinämöinen,

Secondly, smith Ilmarinen,

Third, the lively Lemminkainen

Carried forth the mighty Sampo,

Forth from Pohjola’s stone mountain,

From within the hill of copper,

To the boat away they bore it,

And within the ship they stowed it.

In the boat they stowed the Sampo,

In the hold the pictured cover,

Pushed the boat into the water,

In the waves the hundred-boarded;

Splashed the boat into the water,

In the waves its sides descended.

Asked the smith, said Ilmarinen,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“Whither shall we bear the Sampo,

Whither now shall we convey it,

Take it from this evil country,

From the wretched land of Pohja?“

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Answered in the words which follow:

“Thither will we bear the Sampo,

And will take the pictured cover,

To the misty island’s headland,

At the end of shady island,

There in safety can we keep it,

There it can remain for ever.

There’s a little spot remaining,

Yet a little plot left over,

Where they eat not and they fight not,

Whither swordsmen never wander.”

Then the aged Väinämöinen

Steered away from Pohja’s borders,

Sailed away in great contentment,

Joyous to his native country,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“Speed from Pohjola, O vessel,

Make thy way directly homeward,

Leave behind the foreign country.

“Blow, thou wind, and sway the vessel,

Urge the boat upon the water,

Lend assistance to the rowers,

To the rudder give thou lightness,

On the wide expanse of water,

Out upon the open water.

“If the oars should be too little,

And too weak should be the oarsmen,

In the stern too small the steerer,

And the vessel’s master’s children,

Ahto, give thyself thy oars,

To the boat, O Water-Master,

Give the best and newest oars,

Give us, too, a stronger rudder.

Do thou seat thee at the oars,

Do thou undertake the rowing,

Speed thou on this wooden vessel,

Urge the iron-rowlocked forward,

Drive it through the foaming billows,

Through the foam-capped billows drive it.”

Then the aged Väinämöinen

Steered the vessel swiftly forward,

While the smith named Ilmarinen,

And the lively Lemminkainen,

Set themselves to work the oars,

And they rowed, and speeded onward

O’er the sparkling water’s surface,

O’er the surface of the billows.

Said the lively Lemminkainen,

“Formerly when I was rowing,

There was water for the rowers,

There was singing for the minstrels,

But at present time, when rowing,

Nothing do we hear of singing,

In the boat we hear no singing,

On the waves we hear no chanting.”

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Answered in the words which follow:

“Do not sing upon the waters,

Do not chant upon the billows;

Singing brings the boat to halting,

Songs would but impede the rowing,

Then would wane the golden daylight,

And the night descend upon us,

On the wide expanse of water,

On the surface of the billows.”

Then the lively Lemminkainen

Answered in the words which follow:

“Anyway, the time is passing,

Fades away the lovely daylight,

And the night is swift approaching,

And the twilight comes upon us,

Though no song our life enlivens,

Nor the time is given to chanting.”

Steered the aged Väinämöinen

O’er the blue lake’s shining water,

And he steered one day, a second,

And at length upon the third day.

Then the lively Lemminkainen

For a second time inquired,

“Wherefore sing not, Väinämöinen?

O thou great one, sing unto us!

We have won the splendid Sampo;

Straight the course that now we follow.”

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Gave him a decided answer:

Yet all these favourable circumstances did not, at bottom, bring us much nearer to the mark; for all our power consisted, as yet, in nothing else than in firmness, and in a calculated opposition against probable future events. We had not fixed upon a plan of attack, but left the regulation of our proceedings to the direction of circumstances; yet nothing happened that could have guided us. The Count was inclined to return to Spain; and I would have faithfully followed him, if it had not been for Don Bernhard, and our associated friends, without whose assistance we could not expect to succeed in our undertaking, which, to confess the truth, promised very little, as the centre of the confederacy could easily be shifted; and we had already been convinced that it could exist any where.

“’Tis too early yet for singing,

’Tis too early for rejoicing.

Soon a time will come for singing,

Fitting time for our rejoicing,

When we see our doors before us,

And we hear our own doors creaking.”

Said the lively Lemminkainen,

“In the stern I’ll take position,

And with all my might will sing there,

And with all my force will bellow.

Perhaps indeed I cannot do so,

Loud enough I cannot bellow:

If you will not sing unto us,

Then will I commence the singing.”

Then the lively Lemminkainen,

He the handsome Kaukomieli,

Quickly pursed his mouth for singing,

And prepared himself to carol,

And began to sing his carols,

But his songs were most discordant,

And his voice it sounded hoarsely,

And his tones were most discordant.

Sang the lively Lemminkainen,

Shouted loudly Kaukomieli,

Moved his mouth, his beard was wagging,

And his chin was likewise shaking.

Far away was heard his singing,

Far away across the water,

In six villages they heard it,

Over seven the song resounded.

On a stump a crane was sitting,

On a mound from swamp arising,

And his toe-bones he was counting,

And his feet he was uplifting,

And was terrified extremely

At the song of Lemminkainen.

Left the crane his strange employment,

With his harsh voice screamed in terror,

From his perch he flew in terror,

Over Pohjola in terror,

We began, by degrees, to grow negligent, because no occasion occurred that could have given energy to our designs. Trifling amusements enervated our desire for great and important deeds; and the female world left us little time to meditate on serious occupations. A constant round of diversions unbraced our minds; and we soon looked upon our plans, which formerly had engaged our whole attention, as an object of exercising our wit. At last an incident happened which seemed to make us forget them entirely. A fatal love affair occasioned a difference between myself and the Count; deprived me, for a long time, of his affection and confidence, before I could prevail upon myself to make some sacrifice to him; and, surprising us unawares, almost terminated our investigations by an ill-fated jealousy.

Rh memoration of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismaíl! The following is the account given by Muhammadan writers:—"When Ibrahím (the peace of God be upon him) founded Mecca, the Lord desired him to prepare a feast for Him. Upon Ibrahím's (the friend of God) requesting to know what He would have on the occasion, the Lord replied, 'Offer up thy son Ismaíl.' Agreeably to God's command he took Ismaíl to the Kʾaba to sacrifice him, and having laid him down, he made several ineffectual strokes on his throat with a knife, on which Ismaíl observed,' Your eyes being uncovered, it is through pity and compassion for me you allow the knife to miss: it would be better if you blindfolded yourself with the end of your turban and then sacrificed me.' Ibrahím acted upon his son's suggestion and having repeated the words bismillah allah-ho akbar (i.e., 'in the name of the great God'), he drew the knife across his son's neck. In the meanwhile, however, Gabriel had substituted a broad-tailed sheep for the youth Ismaíl, and Ibrahím unfolding his eyes observed, to his surprise, the sheep slain, and his son standing behind him." The account

 176 is a ridiculous parody upon the words of the inspired prophet Moses. In the Qurán the name of the son is not given, although commentators state, that the Prophet said, that he was a descendant of the son of Abraham who was offered in sacrifice. The sacrifice, as it is now performed on the ʾId-ul-Azhá is as follows:—The people assemble for prayer at the ʾIdgah as on the ʾId-ul-Fitr; after prayers the people return to their houses. The head of the family then takes a sheep (or a cow or camel) to the entrance of his house and sacrifices it, by repeating the words, "In the name of the great God," and cutting its throat. The flesh of the animal is then divided, two-thirds being kept by the family, and one-third being given to the poor in the name of God.

Caroline de B****** was of an ancient and noble family in Picardy. She was not rich; however, her fortune was sufficient to afford her a good education, and to render her no despicable party. She was not handsome; but her complexion was fresh, her shape elegant, and her deportment natural and winning. She possessed an unaffected gaiety, which graced all her movements, and gave them diversity and novity. She neither possessed a striking wit, nor an uncommon understanding: however, her sallies were always pleasing; and her modesty, good-nature, and evenness of temper, spoke highly in her favour. As for her character, I might well say, she had none; it was, at least, impossible to discern it; for she accommodated herself with so much ease and simplicity to the individual disposition of those with whom she conversed, and adapted herself in so natural a manner to

And upon his coming thither,

When he reached the swamp of Pohja,

Screaming still, and screaming harshly,

Screaming at his very loudest,

Waked in Pohjola the people,

And aroused that evil nation.

Up rose Pohjola’s old Mistress

From her long and heavy slumber,

And she hastened to the farmyard,

Ran to where the corn was drying,

And she looked upon the cattle,

And the corn in haste examined.

Nought was missing from the cattle,

And the corn had not been plundered.

To the hill of stone she wandered,

And the copper mountain’s entrance,

And she said as she was coming,

“Woe to me, this day unhappy,

For a stranger here has entered,

And the locks have all been opened,

And the castle’s doors been opened,

And the iron hinges broken.

Has the Sampo perhaps been stolen,

And the whole been taken from us?”

Yes, the Sampo had been taken,

Carried off the pictured cover,

Forth from Pohjola’s stone mountain,

From within the hill of copper,

Though by ninefold locks protected,

Though ten bars protected likewise.

Louhi, Pohjola’s old Mistress,

Fell into the greatest fury,

But she felt her strength was failing,

And her power had all departed,

So she prayed to the Cloud-Maiden.

“Maiden of the Clouds, Mist-Maiden,

Scatter from thy sieve the cloudlets,

And the mists around thee scatter,

Send the thick clouds down from heaven,

Sink thou from the air of vapour,

Marriage, according to Muhammadan law, is simply a civil contract, and its validity does not depend upon any religious ceremony.

The legality of marriage depends upon the consent of the parties, which is called I′jáb and Qabúl, viz. declaration and acceptance; the presence of two male witnesses, or one male and two females ; and a dower of not less than ten dirhems to be settled upon the woman. The omission of the settlement does not, however, invalidate the contract; for, under any

It was, indeed, very unfortunate for us that we did not get sooner acquainted with that amiable being. If we had seen her on our introduction into our social circle, the impression she would have made upon us, would, perhaps, not have been so strong, or soon have been obliterated by other charming objects. But now we were tired by too much art; and our hearts being over-fatigued by the intricate mazes of the most consummate female coquetry, were in want of a place of rest in the lap of simple nature.

Caroline charmed us at first sight. We got acquainted with her at an evening assembly which we frequented almost every day to play at cards. Caroline had already, sometime before our arrival, accompanied some friends into the country; and being

(1.) Taláq-i-Ahsan, or "the most laudable form of divorce," is when the husband divorces his wife when she is in a state of purity, by one sentence, "thou art divorced," or words to that effect. This is esteemed the best form, because the sentence having been only pronounced once, the husband can again change his mind, with the consent of his divorced wife, at any subsequent period, until she marries another.

As soon as she perceived this, she declared that she would not play with us, but was determined to be received again into the party to which she belonged before she went into the country. This whim threw the whole company into a new confusion. Those with whom she desired to associate again, were already used to their new companions, and did not shew the least inclination to quit them; and their ladies were not less disinclined to be abandoned by their partners on Caroline's account. The general commotion to which this gave rise terminated at last in a loud laughter, which covered the face of the poor girl with a high crimson colour, and she declared that she would not play at all. Tranquillity and order were soon restored, and I seated myself by her side on the sofa; not ill pleased with the termination of that ridiculous affair.

Nor could he escape beyond it.

Not among the laziest heroes,

Who by clouds would thus be hindered,

And by mists would thus be worsted.”

Starting and lifting up my eyes, I saw a savage looking man coming towards me: He was armed with an enormous club, his figure was of a monstrous size, my first surprise at least had made me think so, and the colour of his face was of the mulatto hue, which gave to the white of a squinting eye additional terrors. Instead of a girdle he had his green buttonless great coat tied with a thick cord, to which an enormous knife and a brace of pistols were fastened. I had quickened my steps when his terrible voice assailed my ears, but he soon came up with me and stopped me with a powerful arm. The sound of a human voice had filled my soul with terror, however, the sight of a ruffian raised my spirits: In my miserable situation I had full reason to tremble at the sight of an honest man, but none at all at that of a robber."

In the lake his sword plunged deeply,

Mead along his blade was flowing,

Honey from his sword was dropping.

And the cloud in air rose upward,

From the lake the mist ascended,

And the vapour from the lake-waves,

And the lake extended widely,

Short the time that then passed over,

When they heard a mighty roaring,

At the red boat’s side they heard it,

And the foam flew wildly upwards,

Near the boat of Väinämöinen.

From his cheeks the ruddy colour;

And above his ears he drew it,

And his cheeks with care he covered,

And his eyes he covered better.

Looked into the water round him,

Cast his gaze beside the vessel,

And he saw a little wonder.

 Rh the force had begun to ascend the passes leading to the valley of Kashmir, dissensions arose among the commanders. Khwája Kalán, with his men, first separated himself from the expedition, and the Tupchi shortly afterwards followed him, leaving Mirza Haidar to prosecute the undertaking with no more than a handful of retainers in his own pay, and a few more who had joined him on the personal authority of the Emperor. With this following he determined to advance, and on the 21st November, 1540, crossed the Punch pass and descended into the valley. His calculations proved correct: he met with no resistance from the chiefs or people, but obtained possession of the country without striking a blow.

It is curious how little our author relates about his invasion and administration of Kashmir, or of the affairs of that country during the eleven years that his regency lasted. He was to all intents and purposes king of the State; while the value of the territory and the importance of its position, from a military point of view, at the juncture when he found himself its ruler, were well known to him, for he had impressed them urgently on Humayun only a short time before. Yet all he has to say of the period is summed up in two short chapters at the end of his history; though he devotes much more space to the events that were happening at the time across the passes. It was in Kashghar and Yarkand that his nearest relatives and his friends were living—most of them in suffering and danger—and that his political enemies were ruling, on lines that he regarded as dangerous, and subversive of the power and prosperity that he had himself helped to build up. It seems evident, indeed, that to the end of his life, his mind was chiefly occupied with the affairs of what may be called his own country, and communications between his friends and himself seem to have been kept up to the last, while he felt himself to be more or less an exile in Kashmir. So meagre is his story of this period of his life, and so abruptly broken off, that from the year 1540 on-wards, I have had to follow chiefly the accounts of Abul Fazl, the historian of Akbar, and of Firishta. Both of these authors wrote within an interval not very remote from that which they chronicle, so that the events they deal with must have been fresh in the memories of their informants.

Runo XLII]

Thus thyself to men revealing,

Even Kaleva’s own children?“

Iku-Turso, son of Äijö,

Was not pleased with this reception,

But he was not very frightened,

And no answer he returned him.

Väinämöinen, old and steadfast,

Asked again an explanation,

And a third time asked him loudly,

“Iku-Turso, son of Äijö,

Wherefore from the lake uplift thee,

Wherefore rise above the billows?”

Iku-Turso, son of Äijö,

When for the third time he asked him,

Answered in the words which follow:

“Therefore from the lake I raise me,

Therefore rise above the billows,

For that in my mind I purpose

Kaleva’s great race to ruin,

Bear to Pohjola the Sampo.

In the waves if you will send me,

And my wretched life concede me,

Not another time ascending,

In the sight of men I’ll venture.”

Then the aged Väinämöinen

Cast the wretch into the billows,

And he said the words which follow:

“Iku-Turso, son of Äijö,

Nevermore from lake arising,

Or ascending from the lake-waves,

Venture forth where men can see thee,

From this very day henceforward.”

Therefore from that day thenceforward,

Never from the lake rose Turso,

In the sight of men to venture,

Long as sun and moon are shining,

Or the pleasant day is dawning,

And the air is most delightful.

Then the aged Väinämöinen

Once again steered on the vessel.

This invention relates: to optical instruments and particularly to spectrophotometers and the component parts thereof, Although there is an extensive field for the application of such instruments in the industries and many different types thereof have been devised, their use has practically been limited to research laboratories because most of the types heretofore produced could be used successfully only by those having an advanced scientific training. While such instruments as were adapted to the skill of men having only average training could be manufactured and sold only at a relatively high price.

In order that spectrophotometer be suitable for industrial purposes and for the average college laboratory it must meet the following requirements: 1st, The instrument must be susceptible of being manufactured and sold at a relatively low price; 2nd, the construction of the instrument must be based not only on correct scientific but also sound mechanical principles and design so that the results of observations will be within the required limits for precision and accuracy; 3rd, it must be sturdy and durable; 4th, the movable parts of the instrument must be so constructed that settings and readings can be made quickly and easily with a minimum of exertion on the part of, and fatigue to, the operator; 5th, the results of observations made with the instrument must be directly obtainable from suitable indicia without necessitating mathematical computations to obtain the required data, so that such data can be obtained and recorded by persons of average skill; and 6th, the construction of the instrument and particularly what may be termed the mechanical parts thereof, as distinguished from the optical elements such as lenses and prisms, must be such that the necessity for mathematical accuracy in the machining of the such parts will be obviated.

It is the principal object of this invention to provide a spectrophotometer which will fully meet the above enumerated requirements.

A further object is to improve upon the construction of the spectrometer and photometer which not only form component parts of a spectrophotometer, but are also separately adapted for extensive use.

These and other objects will appear more fully to one skilled in the art to which the invention relates, from the following more detailed description and by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, and wherein is a diagrammatic plan view of a portion of a spectrophotometer embodying my invention showing the arrangement of the members;  is a diagrammatic side elevation of the optical system; Figs. and are diagrams of a portion of the spectrometer showing different positions of the optical wedge;  is a diagrammatic view of the photometric field; Figs. and are a side elevation and a plan respectively of my improved instrument;  are views similar to Figs. and showing a different form of the invention and  is a detail side elevation of an adjusting device for use with the form of construction shown in  inclusive.

The instrument will first be described by reference to the diagrammatic views of inclusive in order that the underlying scientific principles of the construction may be more readily understood.

As shown in the instrument consists of a photometer designated generally by the reference character A, and a spectrometer designated by the reference character B. A portion of the radiant energy or light from any example, the lamp L reflected by the reflecting surfaces R$1$, R$2$, is directed by the prism P$1$, in two substantially parallel juxtaposed beams through the entrance slit S$1$ of  the collimator C and passes through the collimator objective L$1$. The parallel beams as they pass through the dispersion prism P$2$ are dispersed so that, in accordance with the well known properties of such prisms, the rays of different color present in the light beams will be deviated at different angles according to the wave length or frequency of each particular light ray; the resulting dispersed beam being brought to a focus at the ocular slit S$2$ of the telescope T by the telescope lens or objective L$2$.

A bi-prism P$3$ is interposed between the dispersing prism P$2$ and the telescope objective L$2$ to form a divided field of the type shown in ; one half of the field as for

 20 Kashmir had, for some time previously, acknowledged no one supreme ruler, except those set up as mere nominal representatives of the old line of kings. Several native chiefs exercised the real authority, in various parts, and at that particular time were supporting, as a pageant, a prince whose title was Názuk Shah. Whether Mirza Haidar began by joining issue with this personage we are not informed, but it appears rather, that he took him under his protection. It is related, however, that one Káchi Chak, the principal of those chiefs through whose representations Mirza Haidar had been originally induced to undertake the reduction of the State, very shortly deserted his benefactor. He perceived, says Abul Fazl, that his own schemes would be defeated by the establishment of Mirza Haidar's power, and "with the natural perfidy inherent in the character of the Kashmirians, suddenly withdrew from the country to seek the protection of Shir Khan" [i.e. Shir Shah]; with the result that a force of 2,000 Afghans was immediately despatched by the Shah, to conduct the petitioner back to his country. A threat of invasion by Shir Shah and his Afghans was sufficient to deprive Mirza Haidar of all his Kashmiri allies, and he had to retire to an inaccessible part of the country, with a few of his own followers, where he led a precarious and unsettled life for about three months. At last, on the 2nd August, 1541 (8 Rabi II. 948 ) he gave battle to his enemies, who were computed at 5,000 combatants (including natives and auxiliary Afghans), and defeated them with great loss, the Afghans retiring to Delhi, while the Kashmiri malcontents fled to the outer hills. By this victory, our author rendered himself undisputed master of the whole of Kashmir.

A period of tranquillity followed, but was destined to last only till the year 1543, when the fugitives beyond the borders, having combined their forces with those of some of their relatives, marched on Srinagar for the purpose of subverting Mirza Haidar's government. They were completely routed, however, and again took refuge in the outer hills. Not long afterwards, the Mirza himself took the offensive against Ladak, and is said to have reduced several of its districts to subjection. Only one of these is named by Firishta, who writes it "Looshoo"—a name impossible to identify, unless it can be regarded as a corruption

 example F$1$ is illuminated by the beam of light reflected by the surface R$1$ and the other half F$2$, of light from the surface R$2$. By varying the brightness or intensity of one or both of the beams which compose the two halves of the field, the dividing line D will disappear when the intensities of the beams are made equal. A wedge shaped piece of optical glass W is interposed between the objective L$2$ and the ocular slit S$2$ and is movable longitudinally of the telescope. The wedge deflects the rays of light upwardly, so that instead of the rays passing through the telescope substantially parallel to the axis thereof, they are inclined to the axis as illustrated diagrammatically by the dot and dash lines in. As the rays which pass through the telescope are deflected upwardly by the wedge in the constructional example illustrated in inclusive, any rays which would lie above the optical axis would not be directed to the slit S$2$, no matter to what position the wedge might be moved, therefore the dispersion prism P$2$ is adjusted so that the dispersed beam will be projected by the telescope objective L$2$ slightly below said optical axis, as shown by the dotted lines in.

With the wedge in the position shown in, the red rays are brought into coincidence with the ocular slit, while the remaining rays are lost within the telescope. When the wedge is moved to the position shown in, the violet rays pass to the ocular slit, By moving the wedge between. the extreme positions shown in, any particular section of the spectrum may be investigated by the observer, depending upon the position of the wedge. If the telescope is provided with a scale having marks to indicate wave lengths, and the wedge with a co-operating pointer, or vice versa, the wave length of the light ray under investigation may be immediately determined by a direct reading.

In order to compare the brightness of the two-beams of light reflected by the surfaces R$1$, R$2$, the light source or lamp L of the photometer is moved between the two surfaces until the dividing line D of the photometric field disappears. By providing the photometer with a pointer and a scale, divided to indicate ratio of the squares of the distances of the lamp from the reflecting surfaces R$1$, R$2$, the intensity or brightness of the reflected beam under investigation may be determined by a direct reading.

Having explained the principles upon which the construction of my improved spectrophotometer is based, I will now describe the constructional details of the embodiment shown in Figs. and. The numeral 10 indicates a suitable base or support upon which is mounted, adjacent to one end thereof, a U-shaped bracket consisting of a bottom 11 and side walls 11$a$, 11$b$. The bottom 11 of this bracket is provided with a pair of parallel spaced rails 12, upon which the lamp carriage 13 is slidably mounted; roller's 14, 15 preferably being provided for supporting the carriage on said rails. A lamp socket 16 secured on said carriage is adapted to receive the lamp 14, the filament 18 of which is arranged perpendicular with the rails 12 and parallel to the parallel planes of the reflecting surfaces R$1$, R$2$. For convenience in moving the lamp between the surfaces R$1$, R$2$, I provide the lamp carriage 13 with a rack 19, in mesh with a pinion 20, secured to a shaft 21. The shaft 21 is mounted in suitable bearings, as at 22, 23, and has its front end provided with a knurled operating handle 24. The side walls 11, 11$a$ are coated, or otherwise constructed, to be practically non-reflecting and are provided with the apertures 25 arranged in alignment with each other and the lamp filament. Secured to the side walls, on the outer faces thereof, are the standard and sample holders 26, 27, each of which is provided with a spring pressed follower 28. Upon placing within one of the sample holders, as for instance the holder 26, a suitable standard such as a block of magnesium carbonate which is usually taken as a standard for 100% reflection, and placing within the other holder 27, a sample, the reflective power of which it is desired to examine, the amount of light reflected by each surface can be made equal by moving the lump as required. For convenience jn determining the comparative intensity, the photometer is provided with a scale and an index or pointer. As shown, the scale 29, graduated to indicate percentages or reflection ratios, is secured to the carriage 13 and is so located that the ratio of unity, or 100%, will coincide with the pointer or index 30 when the lamp is midway between the walls 11$a$, 11$b$.

A portion of the light reflected from the surfaces R$1$, R$2$ of the objects placed within the holders 26 and 27 is collected by the ray directing prism P$1$, clamped upon a stand 31 a short distance from the entrance slit S$2$ of the collimator C, and such light is directed through the slit S$1$ to the collimator lens or objective L$2$.

The collimator may be supported in any suitable manner, as for instance, by a pair of sleeves 33, secured to a bracket 34, the latter being attached to the front end of the base 10.

The usual dispersion prism P$2$ is mounted between the adjacent ends of the collimator and telescope and may be supported in any suitable way. The position of the parts are preferably such that the spectrometer telescope T, as shown in, is extended upwardly at an angle to the horizontal so as

title: Page:US patent 1682572.pdf/6

Page:US patent 1682572.pdf/7

 to bring the eyepiece in the most convenient and comfortable position for observation, the telescope being supported in any suitable manner as by means of a sleeve 35 mounted on the bracket 34.

Any suitable mechanical expedient may be employed for mounting, within the lower end of the telescope, the bi-prism P$3$ and the telescope objective L$2$.

Slidably mounted within the outer sleeve of the telescope is a sleeve 36 in which is fixed the wave length wedge W, said sleeve being provided with a finger piece 37 which projects through an elongated slot in the outer sleeve 36. The outer sleeve is provided with a fixed scale, indicated at 38, graduated to indicate wave lengths, and a pointer or index 39 movable with the inner sleeve, cooperates with said scale to indicate the wave length of the particular light ray brought into coincidence with the ocular slit, S$2$ for any particular position of the sleeve 36 and wedge W.

For convenience in making readings, a reflecting mirror 40 may be mounted on the upper side of the telescope so that the observer may make the readings indicated by the scale 38 and index 39 without having to change his position. A similar reflecting mirror 41 is preferably provided for the photometer scale, which mirror may be secured midway of a rod 42 extending Between the side walls 11$a$, 11$b$, of the lamp supporting bracket. A magnifying lens 43 may also be provided between the photometer scale 29 and the mirror 41 to enable the readings of the photometer settings to be made more easily. In order to shield the eyes of the observer from the direct rays from the lamp L, I prefer to place a shield 45 in front of said lamp. As shown, the side walls 11$a$, 11$a$ are provided with grooves 46, in which the shield 45 is mounted slidably and detachably, said shield being provided with: apertures 47 to permit the passage to the prism P$1$ of the beams of light. reflected. by the surfaces R$1$, R$2$.

If the sample is of very low reflective power, or if it is desired to obtain a finer comparison, a revolving sector 48 may be interposed in the beam from the surface R$1$ of the comparison standard, and between such surface and the ray directing prisim P$1$. As shown in Figs. and I provide a standard 49, said standard being adapted to support the small electric motor 50, to the armature shaft of which the sector 48 is secured. [sic] Any suitable means may be employed to move the sector into and out of the path of the beam from the surface R$2$, as shown the sector is detachably secured to the motor shaft by the knurled lock nut 51. The sector is preferably constructed so that the readings of the photometer scale when the sector is used will represent one-tenth of the indicated values so that when the sector is used micrometric readings may be made directly from said scale. A second standard 52 may also be provided from the side of the collimator opposite to the standard 49 so that a testing sector may be used for testing the instrument.

For the purpose of investigating or comparing the transmissive properties of substances, as for example liqueds I provide a pair of standards 53, 54 adapted to support the containers for such substances in the path of the beams from the surfaces R$1$, R$2$, respectively; any suitable containers, such as vials or tubes having glass or other transparent stoppers may be provided for holding liquids. When transmissive properties are to be investigated, magnesium carbonate will ordinarily be employed for both of the reflecting surfaces.

It will be seen that an instrument constructed in accordance with the principles hereinbefore described is exceptionally simple; the movement of the photometer lamp is positive and the position of said lamp with respect to the reflecting surfaces R$1$, R$2$, provides an accurate means for determining the reflective power of such surfaces according to the well known law of the squares of the distances between the lamp and surfaces, The manufacture of a scale to indicate directly the value of such squares is comparatively simple and inexpensive, and as the scale and its index are at all times fixed relatively to the members whose position they indicate, without requiring the interposition of any moving mechanical parts between such members and the indicating means, all error's due to the use of such moving parts are avoided. Obviously any suitable means may be employed for varying the relative positions of the lamp and reflecting surfaces, and as the readings depend on the positions of these parts and not on the means for moving them, no great amount of accuracy is required in the machining or construction of such means.

The same is also true with respect to the spectrometer, it being obvious that the movement of the wedge is positive and direct, and that the wave length scale and index are positively located and fixed. with respect to the members whose position they indicate. As the sleeve 86 which carries the wedge is of considerable length the amount of error caused by tilting of the sleeve due to lost motion between it and the sleeve, obviously would be negligible.

In inclusive a slightly different constructional example for the spectrometer is shown; the principle of maintaining a fixed relationship between collimator, dispersion prism, and telescope having a fixed ocular aperture being the. same as shown and described in connection with

 Figs. . Instead of relying upon a movement of the optical wedge longitudinally of the axis of the telescope as in Figs. , a pair of wedges W$1$, W$2$ suitably supported for relative rotational adjustment are mounted between the dispersion prism P$2$ and the telescope and the dispersion prism P$2$ is set to project the dispersed beam along the optical axis of the telescope instead of below said axis. The wedges W$1$, W$2$ are identical in construction so that when they are placed oppositely to each other as shown in, no deviation of the beam will occur, and therefore the central or green portion of the spectrum will be visible at the slit S$2$. When the wedges are in the position shown in, the maximum downward deviation of the beam is secured, while shown in maximum upward deviation is produced. It will thus be obvious that by the rotation of the wedges between the positions shown in, the beam will be moved transversely or laterally of the optical aperture, thereby enabling any portion of the spectriun to be investigated. Any suitable means may be employed for mounting and adjusting the wedges W$1$, W$1$, as shown in. I may provide the telescope T with a sleeve 60 projecting forwardly thereof and terminating in an enlargement or housing 61. Rotatably mounted within said housing are a pair of bevel gears 62, 63 in which the wedges W$1$, W$1$ are seated. A bevel pinion 64 mounted on one end of a short shaft 65, is interposed between and in mesh with the gears 62, 63 and the outer end of said shaft 65 is provided with a knurled operating handle 66. A pointer 67 and a suitable scale 68 graduated in wave lengihs, may obviously he provided for determining, by a direct reading, the wave length of the portion of the beam brought into coincidence with the ocular aperture.

It will thus be seen that my improved instrument fully meets the requirements hereinbefore enumerated. It will he understood that many changes, variations and modifications of the constructional details of the illustrated embodiment may be resorted to without departing from the principles of my invention.

 Rh of "Suru." During his absence on this expedition, an epidemic disease broke out, which carried off the three discontented chiefs who had, up to that time, been his most persistent opponents. Their removal afforded him again a period of peace, which lasted for about two years, when he proceeded to attack the province of Kishtawár. One Bandagán Koka was sent forward in command of a portion of the force, while Mirza Haidar followed at a distance. Bandagán Koka came up with the enemy on the banks of the Kishtawár river, and after two engagements, was defeated and killed, together with a number of his men. The remainder of his force fell back on the division of the Mirza, who, however, does not appear to have followed up his intention of subduing the province. The next year, 1548, he is reported to have turned his attention first towards Little Tibet (or Baltistan), then to Tibet (or Ladak) again, and subsequently to Rajaori and Pakhli. In all these provinces he is said to have succeeded in his objects, and to have added them, finally, to his Kashmir dominions.

In 1549 an occurrence is recorded, which nearly brought our author once more into conflict with the Afghans of Hindustan. In 1545 Shir Shah had been succeeded by his son, Islám Shah (otherwise known as Salim Khan), against whose rule the Niázi tribe of Afghans, then settled in the Punjab, rose in rebellion. After being worsted by Salim in the plains, they fled towards the hills and took refuge in the Kashmir province of Rajaori. Here they were received by the descendants of those Kashmiri chiefs, who had so persistently opposed Mirza Haidar's rule, up to a few years previously. Intrigues were entered into between these and the Niázi, but in the meantime Salim, pursuing the latter, arrived at the foot of the hills near Nau Shahra in Rajaori, while Mirza Haidar advanced to block the road from the side of Kashmir. According to Firishta, a peaceful arrangement was come to between the various parties; Salim was appeased on certain hostages being made over to him, and returned to Delhi, while the Kashmiri partisans, abandoning their plans, some joined Mirza Haidar, and others accompanied Salim to his capital. A different version of this affair (it may be noted) is given by Abdulla, the author of the Tarikh-i-Daudi, who records that a fight took place between the Niázi and a force sent by Mirza Haidar to prevent them from entering Kashmir, and the writer locates this encounter, not in Rajaori, but in the district of Banihál. The Kashmiri force is represented as

(Map No. 4, facing page 27)

{{larger|{{sc|First Contact}}}}}}

Early on 19 November the 1st and 3d Battalions, 128th Infantry, moved north in the rain along parallel trails to attack the Japanese forces on the east flank, which ran from the sea along the New Strip to Simemi Creek. C Company led the 1st Battalion up the coastal trail toward Duropa Plantation; the 3d Battalion, with K Company as advance guard, trudged along the track from Simemi village toward the New Strip. Both units advanced until they met rifle and automatic fire, then stopped. Ground observation was impossible; jungle and swamp limited expansion of the front and prevented direct communication between the two battalions. The 3d Battalion was about 500 yards southwest of the New Strip, and the 1st Battalion was approximately abreast on the coast. During the day, in the confusion of attack in the jungle, the leading units were completely out of contact with one another and had even lost contact within themselves. As night came on, rain was again falling. Our men could hear the sound of truck motors behind the Japanese lines, indicating that reinforcements were coming up; they could also hear the noise of pounding which suggested that the enemy was strengthening his defenses.

With this attack the Buna operation really commenced. It was not to be marked by broad strategic movements, for the terrain limited our action to a series of penetrations along well-defined corridors through the impassable swamps. During the first 26 days, our troops felt out the strength of the enemy’s position, determined the general line of his well-camouflaged defensive works, and at the end of the period captured Buna Village. Our initial attempt to rush the enemy defenses had to give way to tactics of dogged infiltration by small 27

 The supposition was, that some of the Germans of Germanna followed on the track of Governor Spotswood, crossed the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap, and settled on the Shenandoah river at Elkton soon after the Governor's expedition of 1716. An account of Virginia, by the Rev. Hugh Jones, published about 1724, says: "Beyond Col. Spotswood's furnace, above the Falls of Rappahannock River, within view of the vast mountains, he has founded a town called Germanna, from some Germans sent over by Queen Anne, who are now moved up further." Colonel Byrd, in his "Progress to the Mines," in 1732, refers to these Germans as "now removed ten miles higher, in the forks of Rappahannock, to land of their own." The first colony of Germans came in 1714, and consisted of twelve families. In 1717 twenty additional Protestant German families arrived and settled near their countrymen. The names of some of these people were Spillman, Hoffman, Kemper, Fishback, Wayman, Marten, Hitt, Holtzclaw and Weaver. Finding Governor Spotswood a hard task-master, a portion of the people went off in 1718, and founded Germantown, in Fauquier. Others, previous to 1724, it would seem, moved up to the present county of Madison. There is no historical account, however, of the settlement of any of these colonists in the Valley.

The inscription on the old tombstone plainly exhibits the year 1724; but the question was, whether that was the date of death or of birth. The work was done by an illiterate stonecutter, or one who did not understand the German language. Some of the words are misspelled, others are compounded of several words, and others still are divided into several parts, so that the inscription is unintelligible to most scholars. But Professor Scheie De Vere, of the University of Virginia, has kindly deciphered the hieroglyphics, and furnished translations in German and English. The German, he says, was intended to be—

Den ers: Novom: ist der Jacob B I geboren, aber der Gerechte ob er gleich zur Zeit auch stirbt, ist er dock in der Ruhe, dem seine Seele gefallt Gott da.

A literal English translation is as follows:

"The first November is the Jacob B I born, but the righteous although he at the time also dies, is (he) still in (the) rest, for his soul pleases God there."

The figures 1724 are at the top of the inscription, and appear to indicate the year of birth. Nothing, therefore, is proved by the inscription in regard to the date of settlement in the Valley. It is strange that the name of the deceased is not given in full, but it is supposed to be Jacob Bear.

Another proof, however, is said to exist of a settlement in the Valley earlier than 1732. Adam Miller resided at and owned the place now known as Bear's Lithia Spring, near Elkton, and the certificate of his naturalization, issued under the hand of Governor

(With all their evils, are kings servants of God? The Bible gives the answer.:) Nebuchadnezzar, the King of Babylon, was a great king and a very evil tyrant. And yet, God ordered all the earth to submit to the power of the King of Babylon. Therefore, when the Jews hardened and refused to obey the will of God, He ordered the prophet Jeremiah to say to the Jews:

Nebuchadnezzar was a servant of God in that he becamabecame [sic] an instrument of His wrath. (:That is why Paul calls the evil and cruel kings "servants of God." But this does not mean that the priests of the Church should praise these Caesars and emulate their deeds and techniques, incorporating them as an article of faith into a system for the defense of the Church.:) Jer. 25: 8–10,. 206*

Famine had already stared me horribly in the face, in that extensive forest, where three miles around no refreshment could be procured, you may therefore easily think how joyfully I accepted this offer. I swallowed greedily the contents of the bottle, and new strength animated my whole frame, my heart was expanded with new courage, and hope and love for life returned in my desponding heart; I began to fancy that I was not wholly miserable; so much relief afforded me that welcome draught, and I must confess that my situation began to appear less dreadful to me, since I, after a thousand miscarried hopes, had found at last a being that bore some resemblance with me.

 Gooch, March 13, 1741, set forth that he was a native of Scherstien, in Germany, and had lived on the "Shenandoa" for fifteen years next before the date of the paper. Mr. Charles W. S. Turner, of Elkton, informs us that he has seen the paper, and if there be no mistake as to date, etc., Miller must have settled in the Valley as early as 1726. He and his associates may have been Germans from Germanna, but being few in number, and out of the track of the tide of immigration which afterwards poured in, they remained unknown, or unnoticed, by the English-speaking people.

 gators to a minimum scarcely worth notice. The rams’ flesh seemed to be too rank even for alligators.

“After a time the lifebelts wore out, but the sheep had learned to swim pretty well by then, so old man Jackson decided it wasn’t worth while to put any more lifebelts on ’em. The fact is, the sheep had got to like the water: the first crop of lambs would only come out of the water at feeding time; and when the first shearing time came around, he and his boys had to round up the sheep with boats.

“By the next shearing time, those sheep wouldn’t even come out of the water to be fed. So he and his boys would go out in boats and set floating tubs of feed around in the bayous for them. This crop of lambs could dive, too. They never saw one of them on land at all: they’d only see their heads swimming across the bogues and sloughs.

“Finally another shearing time came around. Old man Jackson tried to catch one of them, but the sheep could swim faster than he and his boys could row, and the young ones dived under water and got away. So they finally had to borrow a motor boat. And when they finally tired one of those sheep down and caught it and took it out of the water, they found that only the top of its back had any wool on it. The rest of its body was scaled like a fish. And when they finally caught one of the spring lambs on an alligator hook, they found that its tail had broadened out and flattened like a beaver’s, and that it had no legs at all. They didn’t hardly know what it was, at first.”

“I say,” murmured Major Ayers.

“Yes, sir, completely atrophied away. Time passed, and they never saw the next crop of lambs at all. The food they set out the birds ate, and when the next shearing time came, they couldn’t even catch one with the motor boat. They hadn’t even seen one in three weeks. They knew they were

Therefore no Christian should deviate from the path of faith in order. to follow the fmperor ani his sword, for indeed, the way of Christ has not been repealed just because the Emperor is "Christian." In the beginning, the Christians were obligated to follow Christ in patience and humility, and they are expected to persevere in this even unier the Emperors. If they have rejected patience for the purpose of defemiing the Emperor, they have been seduced from faith by the Emperor; they no longer are of the faith of Christ dut of the faith of the Emperor. He introduced the religion of the sword to the Christians. These were formerly beaten for the sake of Christ and were rewarded by him; now they stand guard with a sword, and expect to be rewarded by the Emperor. Where Caesar is, there they are too.

 was said about Staunton as the county-seat. There were doubtless some dwellings and other houses here, but the spot was then only known as Beverley's "Mill Place."

The justices appointed by the Governor assembled at the courthouse on December 9, 1745, and took the prescribed oaths of office. Next, the commission of the sheriff was read, and he was duly qualified. Thereupon, "court was proclaimed," the following justices being on the bench: John Lewis, John Brown, Thomas Lewis, Robert Cunningham, Peter Scholl, John Pickens, Hugh Thompson, James Kerr, and Adam Dickinson.

Thus was started the County Court of Augusta, which continued without material change till the year 1852, when justices of the peace became elective by the popular vote. Previously, during a period of one hundred and seven years, the justices assembled in court nominated new members from time to time, as the exigencies of the county required; and the executive of the colony, and afterwards of the State, confirmed the nominations by issuing the necessary commissions.

The justices received no pay, except that after a time the system was introduced of conferring the office of high sheriff of the county, for a term of two years, upon the justices in rotation, according to seniority of commission; the sheriffs "farming out" the office to deputies who discharged all its duties. Upon the expiration of the term of office, the high sheriffs reverted to the position of justice of the peace, and awaited their turn for the lucrative office, which, however, very few obtained a second time.

The first business in order after the justices took their seats on the bench and the court was proclaimed, was to receive and approve the official bond of the sheriff The clerk was also qualified; and William Russell, James Porteus, Gabriel Jones, John Quin, and Thomas Chew qualified to practice as attorneys-at-law.

On the next day, December 10, the commissions of Thomas Lewis, surveyor, and his deputy, James Trimble, were produced in court, and those officers were sworn in. The sheriff on the same day, "moved the court to be informed how he was to secure his prisoners, there being no prison." The provident Col. Beverley had not thought of that. The court, however, ordered

 “I’ve stepped on something,” she said, peering blindly.

Pete rose with a mad inarticulate cry.

“Old man Jackson”—Fairchild continued—“claims to be a lineal descendant of Old Hickory. A fine old southern family with all a fine old southern family’s pride. Al has a lot of that pride, himself: that’s why he won’t take off his shoes in company. I’ll tell you the reason later.

“Well, old man Jackson was a bookkeeper or something, drawing a small salary with a big family to support, and he wanted to better himself with the minimum of labor, like a descendant of any fine old southern family naturally would, and so he thought up the idea of taking up some of this Louisiana swamp land and raising sheep on it. He’d noticed how much ranker vegetation grows on trees in swampy land, so he figured that wool ought to grow the same rank way on a sheep raised in a swamp. So he threw up his bookkeeping job and took up a few hundred acres of Tchufuncta river swamp and stocked it with sheep, using the money his wife’s uncle, a member of an old aristocratic Tennessee moonshining family, had left ’em.

“But his sheep started right in to get themselves drowned, so he made lifebelts for ’em out of some small wooden kegs that had been part of the heritage from that Tennessee uncle, so that when the sheep strayed off into deep water they would float until the current washed ’em back to land again. This worked all right, but still his sheep kept on disappearing—the ewes and lambs did, that is. Then he found that the alligators were—”

 groups, bunker to bunker, until the last stubbornly defended bunker was taken. Toward the end of December the introduction of light tanks and the weakening of the enemy forces speeded up the action, but throughout the operation it was the individual soldier's battle. Often cut off from his fellows by dense jungle underbrush, crawling on his belly in the sticky mud, each infantryman had to learn to fight alone.

The disappointing results of the attack on 19 November did not destroy the confidence of our troops in a quick success, for Buna Mission was only 3 miles away. The 1st Battalion, 126th Infantry, arrived at the front during the 20th and went into the line on the right of the 1st Battalion, 128th Infantry, which by evening had pushed to the edge of Duropa Plantation. For the 21st, Division Headquarters ordered an all-out attack along the entire front, to be preceded by a bombing run of our planes along the enemy positions in the Plantation.

The front lines were so indistinct in the jungle that the bombing on the eastern front caused some casualties in the 3d Battalion, 128th Infantry, and damaged the morale of the entire unit. Apart from the failure of the air preparation, things went wrong, for the troops did not receive the divisional attack order until well after the bombing was over. The infantry attack was finally launched late in the afternoon, following another bombing raid and a mortar concentration. Units made slight advances, met well-directed fire from snipers, machine guns, and mortars, and then withdrew to their original positions.

On this same day, our first offensive against the western end of the Japanese stronghold also failed. The 2d Battalion, 128th Infantry, moved up west of the great swamp to take the place of the 1st Battalion, 126th Infantry (less three platoons of C Company and all of D Company), which, after its exhausting march over the mountains had been attached to the Australian 7th Division in operations west of the Girua River. The fresh battalion attacked up the Ango trail toward the junction where branches forked to the Mission on the right and to Buna Village on the left. As the point of the battalion approached this junction, the leader, Sgt. Irving W. Hall 28

“Every one’s finished,” Mrs. Wiseman said. “Come on, let’s go on deck.”

“No,” Mrs. Maurier protested. She said firmly: “Mr. Fairchild.”

“Go on,” the niece urged him. “What about Al Jackson?”

“Shut up, Pat,” Mrs. Wiseman commanded. “Come on, you all. Let ’em stay here and drivel to each other. Let’s lock ’em in here: what do you say?”

Mrs. Maurier asserted herself. She rose. “Mr. Fairchild, I simply will not have—if you continue in this behavior, I shall leave the room. Don’t you see how trying—how difficult—how difficult”—beneath the beseeching helplessness of her eyes her various chins began to quiver a little—“how difficult—”

Mrs. Wiseman touched her arm. “Come: it’s useless to argue with them now. Come, dear.” She drew Mrs. Maurier’s chair aside and the old woman took a step and stopped abruptly, clutching the other’s arm.

(:We cannot be true servants of God unless we follow the precepts of Christ. Secular authority is too much confused with evil and violence. Christ said:)

Therefore, to serve God according to Christ's faith means to follow his example in patience, in humility, in poverty, and in saving work. It is an extraordinary thing that the world cannot recognize this service; neither can an evil man recognize it, but only he whom He chooses; for it depends on the true love of God – a love which the world has not, knows not, and cannot comprehend, since it is filled with evil graces contrary to the Divine love. A dirty barrel cannot be a fitting container for new wine; similarly, the service of God cannot be confused with the ways of this world.

 of F Company, spotted a Japanese machine gun 50 yards ahead. By cool action he got his men off the trail before the enemy opened fire, and the remainder of the battalion moved up on both sides of the trail against the narrow salient in the fork. At 1330, enemy fire from the salient, later known as the Triangle, had stopped our troops. This area was to be the scene of some of the bloodiest fighting on the whole Buna front.

On 22 November the 2d Battalion, 126th Infantry, was released by the Australian 7th Division to the 32d Division and advanced along the Ango trail to support the 2d Battalion, 128th Infantry. This was the last major troop movement on the Buna front until reinforcements arrived. Henceforth, the 2d Battalions of the 126th Infantry and 128th Infantry were called the Urbana Force. Under the command of Col. John W. Mott, this force operated in the corridor west of the great swamp. On the east of that barrier, between Simemi Creek and the sea, the rst and 3d Battalions of the 128th Infantry, the 1st Battalion of the 126th Infantry, and the Australian 2/6 Independent Company formed the Warren Force under Brig. Gen. Hanford MacNider. When this officer was wounded on the 23d, Col. J. Tracy Hale, Jr., of the 128th Infantry took over command of the Warren Force. Until 1 January, these forces were to fight separate actions, each with its own story.

The Urbana Force began an attack toward the Triangle on 24 November (Sketch No. 1, page 30). E Company, 126th Infantry, moved to the left flank and got 4oo yards out into the swamp without meeting enemy opposition. By the next day it had struggled through the swamp to a point beyond Entrance Creek, close to the left-fork trail to the Village.

F Company, 128th Infantry, moved directly up the trail; E and G Companies, 128th Infantry, swung around the right flank. Enemy barbed wire and machine-gun fire stopped F Company at the apex of the Triangle. For a while the right-flank companies had easy going. Then, as they came out on the kunai-grass strip southeast of the Triangle, they encountered enemy fire. By dark it was clear that the enemy had drawn them into a trap on the relatively open ground, swept by fire from his fortifications. G Company lost its 60-mm mortars and light machine guns, and the men were forced

“Sit down, Dawson,” Mrs. Wiseman ordered sharply. “We've had about all that sort of humor this voyage will stand.”

“That’s what I think,” he agreed readily. “That’s what Julius and Major Ayers and me think at every meal. And yet, when we come to the table, what do we see?”

“My first is an Indian princess,” said Mark Frost in a hollow lilting tone. “But it’s a little early to play charades yet, isn’t it?”

Major Ayers said “Eh?” looking from Mark Frost to Fairchild. Then he ventured: “It’s grapefruit, isn’t it?”

“But we have so many of them,” Mrs. Maurier explained. “You are supposed to never tire of them.”

“That’s it,” said Fairchild solemnly. “Major Ayers guessed it the first time. I wasn’t certain what it was, myself. But you can’t fool Major Ayers; you can’t fool a man that’s traveled as much as he has, with just a grapefruit. I guess you’ve shot lots of grapefruit in China and India, haven’t you, Major?”

“Dawson, sit down,” Mrs. Wiseman repeated. “Make them sit down, Julius, or go out to the kitchen if they just want to stand around and talk.”

Fairchild sat down quickly. “Never mind,” he said. “We can stand it if the ladies can. The human body can stand anything,” he added owlishly. “It can get drunk and stay up and dance all night, and consume crate after crate of gr—” Mrs. Wiseman leaned across his shoulder and swept his grapefruit away. “Here,” he exclaimed.

“They don’t want ’em,” she told Miss Jameson across the table. “Get his, too.” So they reft Major Ayers of his also, and Mrs. Wiseman clashed the plates viciously onto her tray. In passing behind Mrs. Maurier she struck the collapsible

into the swamp to the south. Ammunition ran low, and there was no food. During the night most of the company made its way back to the main force.

The day's fighting established clearly that the main enemy position in front of the Urbana Force was the deep narrow salient of the Triangle, commanding the Ango trail. Attack on the east side of this position was hampered both by swamp and by the open grass strip, where the enemy had excellent fields of fire, but the advance of E Company on the left suggested that the Triangle might be skirted on its western side. Consequently, attacks on the Urbana front during the next month were directed at the area west and north of the Triangle.

 the sheriff to summon a guard, and "to provide shackles, bolts, handcuffs, etc." A committee was also appointed to "build a prison and erect stocks." Great importance was evidently attached in those days to "stocks." It was thought quite impossible for a well-ordered community to get along without them.

After a short session on the 10th, the court adjourned till the next court in turn. In pursuance of the Act of 1738, the court then met on the second Monday in each month.

The business of the county court, as indicated by the order books, was heavy and diversified. The first session of court was held, as stated, in December, 1745, and by the February term following there was a large docket of causes for trial. Single justices had jurisdiction of causes involving less than twenty-five shillings. In all other causes at law and in equity, civil and criminal, (not involving loss of life or member), the court had jurisdiction, there being, however, a right of appeal to the general court, which was then composed of the Governor and his council. Attendance at the county court every month became burdensome to the people, and in October, 1748, an act of assembly was passed, establishing quarterly courts for the trial of causes. Four or more justices were required to constitute a court.

We may mention that the first clerk of the county court, John Madison, was the father of the Rev. Dr. James Madison, for some time bishop of the Episcopal church in Virginia. John Madison, the clerk, Gabriel Jones, the lawyer, and Thomas Lewis, the surveyor, whose wives were sisters (Misses Strother, from Stafford county), lived in the same neighborhood, near Port Republic.

Among the first justices of the peace we find John and Andrew Pickens. One of these was the father of the distinguished General Andrew Pickens, of South Carolina. General Henry Lee states in his "Memoirs of the War" (page 594), that General Pickens was born in Paxton township, Pennsylvania, September 19, 1739. His parents were from Ireland. When he was a child his father removed to Augusta county, Virginia, and in 1752 to the Waxhaw settlement, in South Carolina. He was actively engaged in the Indian wars and the Revolution. He was conspicuous for his valor at the Cowpens, Haw River, Augusta (Georgia) and Eutaw; and Lee declares

“No,” he told her soberly. She turned away, but presently she stopped again and looked back at him.

“Give you twenty-five dollars for it.”

“No.”

She said “Shucks” again, and she went on on her brown silent feet, and was gone. (Your name is like a little golden bell hung in my heart, and when I think of you) The Nausikaa sped on. It was twilight abruptly; soon, a star.

The others were seated and well into their dinner, but before four vacant places that bland eternal grapefruit, sinister and bland as taxes. Some of them hadn’t arrived: he’d have time to run back to his room and leave it. And let one of them drunkards throw it out the window for a joke?

Mrs. Wiseman carrying a tray said briskly: “Gangway, Pete,” and he crowded against the wall for her to pass, and then the niece turned her head and saw him. “Belly up,” she said, and he heard a further trampling drawing near. He hesitated a second, then he thrust his hat into the little cubbyhole between the two shelves. He'd risk it to-night, anyway. He could still sort of keep an eye on it. He took his seat.

But a little time passed over,

Short the time that then passed over,

When did Ukko, God the Highest,

Of the air the mighty ruler,

Winds arouse in magic fury,

Made the tempests rage around them.

Then the winds arose in fury,

And the tempests raged around them,

And the west wind blew most fiercely,

From the south-west just as fiercely,

And the south wind still more fiercely,

And the east wind whistled loudly,

Roared the south-east wind tremendous,

And the north wind howled in fury.

From, the trees the leaves were scattered,

And the pine-trees lost their needles,

And the heather lost its flowerets,

And the grasses lost their tassels,

And the black ooze was uplifted

To the sparkling water’s surface.

Still the winds were wildly blowing,

And the waves assailed the vessel,

Swept away the harp of pikebone,

And the kantele of fish-fins,

Joy for Vellamo’s attendants,

And to Ahtola a pleasure.

Ahto on the waves perceived it,

On the waves his children saw it,

And they took the harp so charming,

And unto their home conveyed it.

Then the aged Väinämöinen

From his eyes wept tears of sadness,

And he spoke the words which follow:

“Thus has gone what I constructed,

And my cherished harp has vanished,

And is lost my life-long pleasure.

Never will it happen to me,

In the course of all my lifetime

To rejoice again in pike-teeth,

Or to play on bones of fishes.”

 The Warren Force's attack on the morning of 26 November was preceded by aerial strafing and bombing. From 0730 to 0825, P–40's and Beaufighters strafed at tree-top level from the west end of the New Strip to Cape Endaiadere. A–20's bombed the rear areas from 0835 to 0853. These air attacks were followed by a half hour of pounding by the artillery, mortars, and machine guns. Everything proceeded according to schedule until the infantry jumped off at 0930. At once it became apparent that the supporting fires had not touched the enemy bunkers. Concealed machine guns and snipers opened up, and at nightfall our lines were in practically the same position as before the attack. Units of the 1st Battalion, 126th Infantry, had got close enough to the Japanese bunkers to see that the enemy machine guns were barricaded with oil drums and had a roof over them, but our troops did not yet fully understand the nature of the Japanese defenses.

A 3-day lull followed this repulse. On the Urbana front, units worked along the left flank to extend the line which E Company had previously established on the Buna Village trail. Active patrolling in this zone added to our scanty information regarding enemy positions.

On the 30th, the attack was renewed on both fronts. The Urbana Force made its main effort to the west of Entrance Creek. Units of this force moved up through the swamps during the night and jumped off before dawn against Buna Village. Within 100 yards they met machine-gun fire but pressed on despite heavy casualties, and by the end of the day they had made limited gains. In a wide flanking movement, F Company, 128th Infantry, reached Siwori Village and so cut enemy land communication between the Buna and Sanananda fronts. Other units got to the outskirts of Buna Village. On the right, E Company, 128th Infantry, advanced west of Entrance Creek toward Coconut Grove, which lies along the Buna Village trail just north of the Triangle. They failed to take the Grove, which was to prove almost as difficult to penetrate as the Triangle. In this action the 2d Battalion, 128th Infantry, captured the first prisoner taken in the Buna campaign.

The attack on the Warren front was not so successful. The plan for the 30th differed materially from that of 26 November, when two battalions had attacked northward in the Plantation. This time one 33
