But that savage curse still sounded in her ears, and unconsciously made her think of Enderby, who had always, ~-ver since the eighth day in the boat, given her half his share of water. Little did she know the agony it cost him the day before, when the water had given out, to bring her the whole of his allowance. And as she drank the man’s heart had beaten with a. dull sense of pity, the while his baser nature called out: pulled - ut u cwarse dungaree jumper, and wrappvd It aroun'i the thinly-clad and dzeuvhed figure of the WOIuan.

General Sir William John Codrington, who was chief in command of the forces in the Crimea, and who died in 1884, embarked with his personal staff at the same time. During this war the British lost 3,200 i killed in action or died from their wounds, 4,244 of cholera, and nearly 16,000 who succumbed to other diseases, making a total of 23.744, of whom 2"0 were officers: and besides these 2,87 3 were disabled.
