My father was called home at the age of 72 years, but my mother lived tobe 85. When she was 83 years old — about 40 years ago—she gave me, for mem- ory, an account of all her offspring By u singular coincidence, the number of her _grandchiliren at that time, including the deceased and living, amounted to 83, and same number, exactly corresponding to the number of years she had then lived. { am amazed at my own moderation.’’ Sir | ember, 1876, in latitude |] deg. south | ongituds 70 deg. east. near the Mauritas, _ the crew having been picked up soon after | leaving the vessel.
