and this was blown into high dunes, and cemented
by the rain. 'And so, Best Beloved,' was written the
second chapter of Bermuda. When I stand upon the
summit of Nonsuch and look eastward toward Coop-
ers, or south to Gurnet or west to Castle, I see every-,
where the paper-thin records of past wind-borne
sand (more euphoniously, aeolian), once fine as pow-'
der, now hardened into limestone or very marble.
And when I dive four or five fathoms down to the
bottom of Nonsuch bay, or farther out, at Almost
Island, on the edge of the ocean abyss itself, thereE
again are everywhere the fixed records of ancient
dunes."
This is about the extent of the science he inflicts
upon us, and a sugar-coated pill it is. But then!. .
"Peering down I could see nothing but a. foggy
blueness--it looked as if I were dropping off the rim
of the world into starless naked space. I had no
feeling of bottom at all; it was a real connecting link
between my Almost Island meanderings and the
miracle of view from the Bathysphere, two hundred
fathoms down. I stopped halfway, swung around,
and found myself clear off in cosmic space. There

cloud shut qff the sun for the moment and the dusk'
was eery--unlike any earthly twilight. The fog-blue
spaces swirled past; I could actually see thinner and'
denser areas, probably the shift of light from the
face of the wave-mirrors high overhead. I swivelled
half a circle and entered a galaxy-a whole constella-
tion of great jellyfish . . . There came to me a pro-{
found feeling of the permanence of the evanescent;
these one-half of one per cent of life filling the ocean
with their myriads, with adequate provision for the
future ,
Thus his masterly description of "dangling ...

moods as there are species. From sombre and
