II.
We had a very pleasant, if un-
eventful, passage to Plymouth.
No exciting adventures befel us,
for apparently there were no
pirates about to capture us or Order Ondansetron
desert islands to be cast upon. Ondansetron Odt
Hence all went smoothly, includ-
ing the sea, and we entered the
Sound about 8.30 a.m., and were
soon at anchor just off Drake's
island. Very shortly afterwards,
we were hailed by a party in a
boat, whose spokesman was
anxious to know if we had " any-
thing aboard under seal." The
Admiral having told them enough
to induce them to sheer off, ex-
plained for my benefit Buy Cheap Ondansetron that their
interrogatory was simply a p>olite
way of asking if we were smugglers,
and that, as they were connected
with the Customs, no mere idle
curiosity prompted their enquiries.
The same punctiliousness upon
the part of these Govemment
officials in calling upon new-comers
was observed whenever we dropped
anchor.

NOTES OF A YACHTING CRUISE BY A LANDSMAN.

The morning was mainly
ievoted to cruising around in the
:utter and to going ashore. A
:ull description of Plymouth will
3e found in several guide books,
'to be obtained at all booksellers*
sind stationers' " on the spot.
Therefore, with respect to it, ** the
rest is silence," as far as I am
concerned.
In the afternoon we went
through the Hamoaze, the cele-
brated anchorage of Her Majesty's
ships, and a considerable number
of them Zofran Ondansetron had congregated there
fresh from the recent manoeuvres.
Every species of fighting-ship and
boat was represented, and a brave
show they made. I worked the
pump-handle of the Admiral's Purchase Ondansetron Online
mind concerning them unremit-
tingly, Ondansetron Online and if I could only have
remembered a tenth of what he
told me, I should be better
qualified, I verily believe, to be
first lord of the Admiralty than
most of the gentlemen who have
held that office.
When we were well away from
ships and dockyards, we landed
to make an afternoon call, and by
pleasant paths, through a wilder-
ness, a park and a terraced garden,
reached one of those typical
English homes which are handed
down in one family from genera-
tion to generation. Thence we
took away enduring memories of
a charming hostess, of oak-
panelled rooms, from the walls
of which the portraits of many
ancestors looked down upon us —
notably a Ondansetron 8mg superb Vankyke and a
beautiful Romney — of miniatures
too lovely for words, of old tapes-
tries and much else that was cap-
tivating. Here, too, was a portrait
of the martyred Charles, painted,
it was said, after he had fallen
into the Purchase Ondansetron hands of his enemies;
and corroborative evidence of this
might be found in the profound
melancholy of the countenance
and the unusual amount of hair
upon the face, as if he hadn't the
heart left even to shave. In a
glass case near were the outward
habiliments of an ill-fated member
of the house, who, after supporting
the Roundheads up to a point,
held back when it came to the
execution of the king, and declined
to be a party Buy Ondansetron to it, with the result
that he shared the fate of his
monarch. The "fine old hall
was hung around with pikes and
guns and bows," and these, with
old regimental flags, drums and
trumpets and other military
trophies, bore silent testimony to
the martial ardour of the family
in this and preceding generations.
In a boudoir, the immediate
present was represented by a
portrait of ** Bobs " with Ondansetron Mg his auto-
graph at the foot. As we steamed
back homewards, one thought with
admiration of the patriotism which
induced the Ondansetron 4 Mg owner of such a home
to relinquish the enjoyment of it
in order to undergo the dangers
and privations of campaigning in
South Africa.
The next morning (Wednesday)
I was initiated in the mysteries
of semaphore- signal ling Buy Ondansetron Online by two
such proficients in the art as the
Admiral and the lady of the ship,
who held quite a- long conversation
for my benefit in various parts of
the vessel without uttering a
sound. It occurred to one that
it would Order Ondansetron Online add considerably to the
peace and quiet of the world at
large, and of the Commons House
of Parliament in particular, if this
mode of exchanging ideas were
generally adopted. I was then
shown something of flag-signal-
ling, which enables an Admiral,
through the medium of various
coloured flags, not only Ondansetron 4mg to ascer-
tain, when he gets up in the morn-
ing, how all the captains under
his command slept the previous
night, but, at the same time.

[Decembee
His noisy flounce shall nevermore affright
The ousel, in the hush of summer night —
So steal the days away, till Autumn sere
Chants Ondansetron Zofran in chill winds the requiem of the year.
Sung to the mournful tinkling of the leaves,
And all the earth is brown ; poor wight who grieves !
Brown is the hue of sport, brown rod and gun, Ondansetron Tablets
And on the brown hillside at set of sun
Glows the warm glory of the dying heather,
Where nestle safe brown fur and russet feather —
Still by the river, gliding smooth and slack,
Where the fat grayling shows his violet back,
And steel-blue scented sides, as up he flies, Generic Ondansetron
(Cunning the skill that blinds those lozenge eyes)
I pace the shortening day. But hark, a sound !
The gossamer wreathes trembling to the ground ,
Its flight arrested, now no more to ply,
When o'er the marsh has wailed the snipe's first cry.
Hast heard it, trusty gun, from where you gaze.
Dumb, from your sentry box of dark green baize.
Idle too long ? What hopes and memories pour
