More than this the feeble light of the binnacle-lamp failed to reveal. Both men were broad, and apparently strong. Two men slowly paced the brig's quarter-deck for some time in silence, as if the elemental quietude which prevailed above and below had infected them. XXXI.-ENDS WITH A STRUGGLE BETWEEN INCLINATION AND DUTYīlown to bits bits so inconceivably, so ineffably, so "microscopically" small that-but let us not anticipate.Ībout the darkest hour of a very dark night, in the year 1883, a large brig lay becalmed on the Indian Ocean, not far from that region of the Eastern world which is associated in some minds with spices, volcanoes, coffee, and piratical junks, namely, the Malay Archipelago.

III.-INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF VARIOUS KINDS Forbes and Darwin's _Journal of Researches_ round the world in H.M.S. Wallace _A Naturalist's Wanderings in the Eastern Archipelago_, by H.O. I have also to acknowledge having obtained much interesting and useful information from the following among other works:-_The Malay Archipelago_, by A.R. You’ve officially been photobombed.The extremely violent nature of the volcanic eruption in Krakatoa in 1883, the peculiar beauty of those parts of the eastern seas where the event occurred, the wide-spread influences of the accompanying phenomena, and the tremendous devastation which resulted, have all inspired me with a desire to bring the matter, in the garb of a tale, before that portion of the juvenile world which accords me a hearing.įor most of the facts connected with the eruption which have been imported into my story, I have to acknowledge myself indebted to the recently published important and exhaustive "Report" of the Krakatoa Committee, appointed by the Royal Society to make a thorough investigation of the whole matter in all its phases. From Buzzfeed, an amazing look back at The Most Powerful Photos Of The Decade.
So let’s broaden the scope of our timelapse. + There are more ‘best of the year’ photo collections, but by now, I think you get the picture. + For something a little less newsy, NatGeo has a collection of the best photos of the year. + Top AP photos of 2019 range from the epic to the intimate. Democracy Dies in Darkness (but it thrives in the Darkroom…) + WaPo: A Remarkable Year in Photographs. + For a more international focus, there’s this remarkable collection of the AFP’s best photos of 2019. From The Atlantic: 2019 in Photos: How the First Months Unfolded, A Look at the Middle Months, and Wrapping Up the Year. Also, leading with photos means I can take a much-deserved day off from providing the usual story encapsulating wit and insight to which you’ve grown accustomed. And often, the captions aren’t too bad either (example: Men try to capture a leopard after it strayed into a residential area in the northern city of Jalandhar, India). Photos are some of the most shared content on the internet. Photos are often the most effective way to capture and tell a story.
