<|0.00|> Saturday, August 15th. The sea unbroken all round. No land in sight.<|8.62|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-201
<|0.00|> The horizon seems extremely distant.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-202
<|0.00|> All my danger and sufferings were needed to strike a spark of human feeling out of him.<|6.48|><|6.48|> But now that I am well, his nature has resumed its sway.<|9.68|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-203
<|0.00|> You seem anxious, my uncle. I said, seeing him continually with his glass to his eye.<|6.40|><|6.40|> Ageless!<|7.04|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-204
<|0.00|> One might be, with less reason than now.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-205
<|0.00|> I am not complaining that the rate is slow, but that the seat is so wide.<|4.40|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-206
<|0.00|> We are losing time, and the fact is, I have not come all this way to take a little sale<|5.12|><|5.12|> upon a pond on a raft.<|7.04|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-207
<|0.00|> He called this seapon and I long for ways to take a little sail.<|4.24|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-208
<|0.00|> Therefore, don't talk to me about views and prospects.<|3.36|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-209
<|0.00|> I take this is my answer and I leave the professor to buy his lips with impatience.<|5.44|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-210
<|0.00|> Sunday, August 16th.<|4.08|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-211
<|0.00|> Nothing new, weather unchanged. The wind freshens.<|4.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-212
<|0.00|> But there seem no reason to fear.<|2.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-213
<|0.00|> The shadow of the raft was clearly outlined upon the surface of the waves.<|4.24|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-214
<|0.00|> Truly, the sea is of infinite width.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-215
<|0.00|> It must be as wide as the Mediterranean or the Atlantic.<|4.00|><|4.00|> And why not?<|4.72|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-216
<|0.00|> These thoughts agitated me all day, and my imagination scarcely calmed down after several hours' sleep.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-217
<|0.00|> I shudder as I recall these monsters to my remembrance.<|3.60|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-218
<|0.00|> I saw at the Hamburg Museum the skeleton of one of these creatures, 30 feet in length.<|5.32|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-219
<|0.00|> I suppose Professor Leaton Brock was of my opinion too and even shared my fears.<|6.44|><|6.44|> For after having examined the pig, his eyes traversed the ocean from side to side.<|11.46|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-220
<|0.00|> Tuesday, August 18th.<|2.48|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-221
<|0.00|> During his watch, I slept.<|2.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-222
<|0.00|> Two hours afterwards, a terrible shock awoke me.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-223
<|0.00|> The raft was heaved up on a watery mountain and pitched down again at a distance of 20 fathoms.<|5.60|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-224
<|0.00|> There's a whale, a whale, cried the professor.<|2.88|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-225
<|0.00|> Fight was out of the question now.<|2.64|><|2.64|> The reptiles rose.<|4.36|><|4.36|> They wheeled around our little raft with a rapidity greater than that of express trains.<|8.96|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-226
<|0.00|> Two monsters only were creating all this commotion, and before my eyes are two reptiles of the primitive world.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-227
<|0.00|> I can distinguish the eye of the ichthyosaurus, glowing like a red-hot coe, and as large as a man's head.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-228
<|0.00|> Its jaw is enormous, and according to naturalists, it is ironed with no less than 182 teeth.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-229
<|0.00|> Those huge creatures attack each other with the greatest animosity.<|4.24|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-230
<|0.00|> Suddenly, the Ichthiosaurus and the plessiosaurus disappear below, leaving a warpool<|6.12|><|6.12|> edying in the water.<|7.22|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-231
<|0.00|> As for the Ithisaurus, has he returned to his submarine cavern?<|4.80|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-232
<|0.00|> The warings become lost in the distance.<|2.56|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-233
<|0.00|> The weather.<|2.00|><|2.00|> If we may use the term, we'll change before long.<|5.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-234
<|0.00|> The atmosphere is charged with vapors,<|2.72|><|2.72|> pervaded with the electricity generated by the evaporation of saline waters.<|7.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-235
<|0.00|> The electric light can scarcely penetrate through the dense curtain, which is dropped over the theater on which the battle of the elements is about to be waged.<|9.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-236
<|0.00|> The air is heavy. The sea is calm.<|5.84|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-237
<|0.00|> From time to time a fleecy tuft of miss, with yet some gleaming light left upon it,<|5.76|><|5.76|> drops down upon the dense floor of grey and loses itself in the opaque and impenetrable<|11.40|><|11.40|> mass.<|12.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-238
<|0.00|> The atmosphere has evidently charged and surcharged with electricity.<|4.50|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-239
<|0.00|> The wind never lulls, but to acquire increased strength.<|4.20|><|4.20|> The vast bank of heavy clouds is a huge reservoir of fearful, windy gusts and rushing<|9.96|><|9.96|> storms.<|10.76|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-240
<|0.00|> There's a heavy storm coming on.<|2.76|><|2.76|> I cried, pointing towards the horizon.<|5.40|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-241
<|0.00|> Those clouds seem as if they were going to crush the sea.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-242
<|0.00|> On the mast already I see the light play of a laminate Saint-Arbels fire.<|5.20|><|5.20|> The outstretched sail catches not a breath of wind and hangs like a sheet of lead.<|9.80|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-243
<|0.00|> But if we have now ceased to advance, why do we yet leave that sale loose?<|5.16|><|5.16|> Which at the first shock of a tempest may capsize us in a moment.<|8.56|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-244
<|0.00|> That will be the safest. No, no, never.<|3.20|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-245
<|0.00|> The piled up vapors condensed into water and the air put into violent action to supply<|5.28|><|5.28|> the vacuum left by the condensation of the mist, rouses itself into a world-win.<|10.96|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-246
<|0.00|> Hans Stairz-Nied.<|2.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-247
<|0.00|> From the under surface of the clouds, there are continual emissions of lurid light.<|5.04|><|5.04|> Electric matter is in continual evolution from their component molecules.<|10.08|><|10.08|> The gaseous elements of the air need to be slaked with moisture.<|14.96|><|14.96|> For innumerable columns of water rush upwards into the air and fall back again in white foam.<|20.96|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-248
<|0.00|> I refer to the thermometer, it indicates the figure is obliterated.<|4.40|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-249
<|0.00|> is the atmospheric conditioning having once reached the density to become final.<|4.80|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-250
<|0.00|> The raft bears on still to the southeast.<|3.12|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-251
<|0.00|> At noon, the violence of the storm redoubles.<|2.76|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-252
<|0.00|> Each of us is lashed to some part of the raft.<|3.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-253
<|0.00|> The waves rise above our heads.<|2.24|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-254
<|0.00|> They seem to be, we are lost, but I am not sure.<|3.36|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-255
<|0.00|> He nods his consent.<|2.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-256
<|0.00|> The fireball, half of it white, half a zero blue, and the size of a ten-inch shell,<|6.04|><|6.04|> moves slowly about the raft, but revolving on its own axis with astonishing velocity,<|11.76|><|11.76|> as if whipped round by the force of the whirlwind.<|14.16|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-257
<|0.00|> Here it comes, there it glides.<|2.60|><|2.60|> Now it is up the ragged stump of the mast.<|5.44|><|5.44|> That's it lightly leaps on the provision bag.<|8.32|><|8.32|> Decends with a light bound and just skims the powder magazine.<|12.64|><|12.64|> Horrible.<|13.48|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-258
<|0.00|> We shall be blown up, but no. The dazzling disc of mysterious light nimbly leaps aside.<|6.48|><|6.48|> It approaches Hans, who fixes his blue eye upon it steadily. It threatens the head of my uncle,<|12.88|><|12.88|> who falls upon his knees, with his head down to avoid it.<|15.92|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-259
<|0.00|> A suffocating smell of nitrogen fills the air. It enters the throat. It fills the lungs.<|6.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-260
<|0.00|> We suffer stifling pains.<|2.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-261
<|0.00|> The bogus legislature numbered 36 members.<|3.20|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-262
<|0.00|> This was at the March election 1855.<|3.36|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-263
<|0.00|> That summer's immigration, however, being mainly from the free states greatly changed the relative strengths of the two parties.<|8.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-264
<|0.00|> For general service, therefore, requiring no special effort, the numerical strength of the<|6.04|><|6.04|> factions was about equal.<|8.44|><|8.44|> While on extraordinary occasions, the 2000 border-refined reserve, lying a little farther<|14.72|><|14.72|> back from the state line, could at any time easily turn the scale.<|19.60|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-265
<|0.00|> The free state men had only their convictions, their intelligence, their courage, and the moral<|6.24|><|6.24|> support of the North.<|8.04|><|8.04|> The conspiracy had its secret combination, the territorial officials, the legislature,<|14.60|><|14.60|> the bogus laws, the courts, the militia officers, the president, and the army.<|19.96|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-266
<|0.00|> This was a formable array of advantages. Slavery was playing with loaded dice.<|5.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-267
<|0.00|> Coming by way of the Missouri River towns, he fell first among border-refined companionship<|5.80|><|5.80|> and influences, and perhaps having his inclinations already molded by his Washington instructions,<|12.44|><|12.44|> his early impressions were decidedly adverse to the free state cause.<|16.80|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-268
<|0.00|> His reception speech at Westport, in which he maintained the legality of the legislature,<|6.40|><|6.40|> and his determination to enforce their laws, delighted his pro-slavery auditors.<|11.40|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-269
<|0.00|> All the territorial dignitaries were present.<|3.14|><|3.14|> Governor Shannon presided, John Calhoun, the Surveyor General, made the principal speech<|9.70|><|9.70|> a denunciation of the abolitionist, supporting the Topeka movement.<|15.00|><|15.00|> Chief Justice Lacoste dignified the occasion with approving remarks.<|18.88|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-270
<|0.00|> All dissent, all noncompliance, all hesitation, all mere silence even were in their stronghold<|6.24|><|6.24|> towns like Leavenworth, branded as abolitionism, declared to be hostility to the public<|12.56|><|12.56|> welfare and punished with prescription, personal violence, expulsion, and frequently<|18.02|><|18.02|> death.<|18.46|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-271
<|0.00|> Of the lynchings, the mobs, and the murders, it would be impossible, except in a very extended work to note the frequent and atrocious details.<|8.50|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-272
<|0.00|> The present chapters can only touch upon the more salient movements of the Civil War in Kansas,<|5.36|><|5.36|> which happily are not sanitary. If, however, the individual and more isolated cases of bloodshed<|12.96|><|12.96|> could be described, they would show a startling aggregate of barbarity and a loss of life for<|19.12|><|19.12|> opinions sake.<|20.08|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-273
<|0.00|> Several hundred free-state men promptly responded to the summons.<|4.00|><|endoftext|>

<|0.00|> The leaders of the conspiracy became distrustful of their power to crush the town.<|5.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-276
<|0.00|> One of his militia generals suggested that the governor should require the outlaws at Lawrence<|6.56|><|6.56|> and elsewhere to surrender the Sharps' rifles.<|10.36|><|10.36|> Another wrote asking him to call out the government troops at Fort Leavenworth.<|14.80|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-277
<|0.00|> The governor on his part, becoming doubtful of the legality of employing Missouri militia to enforce<|6.24|><|6.24|> Kansas laws, was also eager to secure the help of federal troops.<|11.28|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-278
<|0.00|> Sheriff Jones had his pockets always full of ritz, issued in the spirit of persecution,<|6.88|><|6.88|> but was often baffled by the sharp wits and ready resources of the free state people, and<|12.96|><|12.96|> sometimes, defied outright.<|14.84|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-279
<|0.00|> Little by little, however, the latter became hemmed and bound in the meshes of the various<|5.54|><|5.54|> devices and proceedings, which the territorial officials evolved from the bogus laws.<|11.24|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-280
<|0.00|> To embarrass this damaging exposure, Judge LeComp issued a writ against the ex-governor<|6.48|><|6.48|> on a frivolous charge of contempt.<|8.72|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-281
<|0.00|> The incident was not violent, nor even dramatic, no posse was summoned, no further effort made,<|6.50|><|6.50|> and reader fearing personal violence soon fled into skies.<|11.00|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-282
<|0.00|> But the affair was magnified as a crowning proof that the Free State men were insurrectionists and outlaws.<|7.60|><|endoftext|>
librispeech_asr-283
<|0.00|> From these again, spring barricaded and fortified dwellings.<|4.50|><|4.50|> Camps and scout parties, finally culminating in roving guerrilla vans, half-partisan half-predatory.<|12.00|><|endoftext|>

librispeech_asr-285
<|0.00|> The Free State men clung to their prairie towns and prairie ravines,<|4.24|><|4.24|> with all the obstinency and courage of true defenders of their homes and firesides.<|10.16|><|endoftext|>
