CHAP. vi.] A REMARKABLE ATMOSPHERE.   125

The outside bend of the elbow of the sleeve

was as sound as on the day it was bought, but

the inside of the bend was cut to pieces, and

split wherever it had been creased by the

elbow.

The temperature used to vary very consider-

ably. Frosts continued to the end of May,

but the days were often very hot, and were fre-

quently hottest at nine or ten in the morning,

for later on a strong wind would usually spring

up, blowing sometimes with extreme violence,

up till sunset, when it generally subsided again.

If this wind was from the north, the . weather

was fine but cold. If it was from the south, it

would be warmer, but clouds would collect and

rain would sometimes fall ; generally, however,

the rain would pass off into steam before

reaching the ground. Ahead of us we

would see rain falling heavily, but before it

reached the ground it would gradually dis-

appear—vanish away and when we reached

the spot over which . the rain had apparently

been falling, there would not be a sign of

moisture on the ground.

The daily winds, of which I have just

spoken, were often extremely disagreeable.
