Paganel's Last Entanglement LIST OF PLATES "Good," said Glenarvan, "wash the dirty thing and bring it into the cabin." p. 13. The fragments soon strewed the table, and several pieces of paper were perceived adhering to each other. Glenarvan drew them out carefully. p. 17. Dumbarton Castle. p. 27. "Please, madam, speak! I am strong against grief, and can hear all." p. 33. "My father, my poor father!" cried Mary Grant, throwing herself at the feet of Lord Glenarvan. p. 41. The Rev. Mr. Morton implored the blessing of Heaven, and commended the expedition to the care of Providence. p. 52. This man, tall, lank, and shriveled, might have been forty years old. He resembled a long, broad-headed nail, for his head was large and thick, his forehead high, his nose prominent, his mouth wide, and his chin blunt. p. 57. Paganel was grandiloquent. He spoke with a lofty animation, and was carried away in the rapid flight of imagination. p. 65. They could scarcely see the city, which was on an elevated plain in the form of a terrace, resting on volcanic rocks three hundred feet in height. The appearance of the island through this rainy curtain was misty. p. 73. Peak of Teneriffe. p. 74. Sometimes the tips of her yards would graze the branches of the beeches that hung over the waves. p. 81 Port Famine. p. 83. In Concepcion p. 86. The mate, Tom Austin, Wilson, a powerful fellow, and Mulready, were the fortunate ones. p. 92. By means of a ford, they crossed the Rio Tubal, the mountains visible in the distance. p. 100. Two hours more of terrible exertion followed. They kept ascending, in order to reach the highest summit of this part of the mountain. p. 108. The internal rumblings, the din of the avalanche, the crash of the blocks of granite, and the whirlwinds of snow, rendered all communication with each other impossible. p. 117. The bird had raised him by his garments, and was now hovering in mid-air at least one hundred and fifty feet above the encampment. He had perceived the travelers, and was violently striving to escape with his heavy prey. p. 125. A man of lofty stature was standing, motionless, on one of the first ledges of the mountain. This individual had broad shoulders, and long hair tied with leathern thongs. p. 132. An important road--that from Carmen to Mendoza--distinguishable by the bones of such animals as mules, horses, sheep and oxen, whose remains were scattered by the birds of prey, and lay bleaching in the sun. p. 144. They set out at daybreak.
