     summary: So sweet at other times, it now rings in my ears like some unearthly echo. There could be no doubt that they were walking on the water--sometimes slowly, at other times in a quick run--and, what was even more unaccountable than this, they were seen at times to _stand still upon the water_!

     summary: He loves to wander in mountainous lands; ascents of great mountains, clad in frozen snow, to him are not unprofitable. But splendid though the climbing on the Coolin may be, it is only one of the attractions, possibly a minor attraction, to these hills, and there are many other mountain ranges where rock-climbing can be found.
