Sivu 116 - Enter not into judgment with thy servant, O LORD; for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.
Sivu 340 - The whole distance, from the place whence we started to our landing on the other side, including the length we were carried by the current, was computed by those on board the frigate at upwards of four English miles ; though the actual breadth is barely one.
