Part 6
But[9], as they rowed away fast from the sinking ship, the prince heard the voice of his sister Mary calling[10] for help. He (S. 5, N. 2) never in his life had been so good as[11] he was then. He[12] cried, in an agony: “Row back at any risk! I cannot bear[13] to leave her!”
[1] +Krach!—es erhob sich ein aus drei hundert Kehlen erschallender fürchterlicher Angstschrei.+
[2] the people = one; in = upon.
[3] faintly on the water, +unvollkommen von der See herüber+.
[4] +und war im Sinken begriffen!+
[5] to hurry into a boat, +schnell in ein Boot steigen lassen+; with = and.
[6] +an+, contracted with the def. art.
[7] +ruhig.+
[8] The — us = We others.
[9] Render ‘but’ by +jedoch+, which place before the adverb ‘fast’ (+schnell+); to row away, +sich entfernen+.
[10] See S. 16, N. 4; for, +um+.
[11] Say ‘as at (+in+) this moment’.
[12] The remaining passage will greatly improve by placing the clause ‘Row — risk’ before the words ‘He — agony’. In an agony, +voll Seelenangst+; at any risk, +koste es, was es wolle+.
[13] When there is in a principal clause a transitive verb, the object of which is contained in a following objective clause, which often assumes the form of a supine (i.e. an infinitive with +zu+, see S. 1, N. 2), =the object in the principal clause is frequently supplied by the pronoun +es+, which then may be called the grammatical object.= This is more particularly the case when special emphasis is given to the verb contained in the principal clause; as—
He _liked to hear_ good music.
+Er ~liebte es~, gute Musik ~zu hören~.+
The deed proves, that she speaks the truth.
+Die That ~beweist es~, daß sie die Wahrheit spricht.+

THE WHITE SHIP.
VI.
They rowed back. When[1] the prince held out his arms to catch[2] his sister, such[3] numbers lept in, that the boat was overset; and in the same instant the White Ship went[4] down.
Only two men floated[5]: a nobleman, Godfrey by name, and a poor butcher of Rouen. By and by[6] another man came swimming towards them, whom[7] they knew, when he had pushed aside his long wet hair, to be Fitz-Stephen.
When he heard that the prince and all his retinue had[8] gone down, Fitz-Stephen, with a ghastly face[9], cried: “Woe, woe to me!” and sank[10] to the bottom.
[1] Supply here the conj. +aber+.
[2] +auf´fangen.+
[3] Say ‘so many persons jumped into the boat, that it capsized’.
[4] Supply the adverb +auch+ after the verb.
[5] to float, +auf dem Wasser schwimmen+; of Rouen, +aus Rouen+.
[6] +Kurz darauf+; supply the adverb +noch+ before ‘another’. He comes swimming towards me, +er kommt auf mich zu´geschwommen+.
[7] Say ‘in whom they recognised Fitz-Stephen, when he’, etc.; to push aside = to throw back.
[8] had gone down, +den Tod erlitten+. The auxiliary verb (had) may here be omitted, for: =In subordinate clauses, the auxiliary verbs= (+haben+, +sein+, and +werden+) =are often omitted for the sake of conciseness and elegance=; as—
+Daß sie mir ~genommen~ (wurde), ist mein größtes Leid.+
That she _was_ taken from me is my greatest sorrow.
[9] with — face, +totenbleich+, adv. How must the words be arranged here?
[10] to sink to the bottom, +in die Tiefe hinab´sinken+. Supply the adv. +dann+ after the verb, which will establish a closer connection between this clause and the preceding one.

THE WHITE SHIP.
VII.
The other two clung[1] to the yard for some hours. At length (App. § 14) the young noble said faintly[2]: “I am exhausted, _and_ benumbed[3] with cold, and can hold[4] no longer. Farewell, good friend. God preserve (App. § 34) you!”
So[5] he dropped and sank, and of all the brilliant crowd[6], the poor butcher of Rouen alone was saved. In[7] the morning, some fishermen saw him floating in his sheep-skin coat[8], and got[9] him into their boat,—the sole relater of the dismal tale.
For[1] three days no one dared to carry[10] the intelligence to the king; at length they[11] sent into his presence a little boy, who, weeping[12] bitterly, and kneeling at his feet, told him that the White Ship was[13] lost, with all on board.
The king fell to the ground like[14] a dead man, and[15] never afterwards was seen to smile.—C. DICKENS, A CHILD’S HISTORY OF ENGLAND.
[1] to cling to the yard, +sich an eine Segelstange an´klammern+; for some hours, +einige Stunden lang+, for three days, +drei Tage lang+.
[2] +kraftlos.+

[4] ‘to hold,’ here +sich halten+.
[5] Say ‘Upon this (Hereupon) he fell into the water and sank to the bottom (+in die Tiefe hinab´sinken+)’.
[6] crowd = company.
[7] In the morning, +am Morgen+.
[8] sheep-skin coat, +Schafpelz+, m.
[9] +nehmen+; the appositional clause ‘the sole relater (+Überbringer+) of the dismal (+traurig+) tale (+Kunde+)’ must be placed immediately after the pronoun ‘him’, to which it belongs; and mark that: =The apposition must always agree in number, gender, and case with the noun or pronoun to which it belongs.=
[10] to carry an intelligence to a person, +Einem eine Botschaft verkünden+. See App. § 5.
[11] +man+; into his presence = to (+zu+) him, which place after ‘boy’.
[12] =The Present Participle may be used adverbially, as in English, to denote manner or state.= Say ‘who told him kneeling and weeping bitterly, that’, etc.
[13] was — board, +mit Mann und Maus gesunken sei+.
[14] like — man = as if dead (+wie tot+), which place after ‘fell.’
[15] Say ‘and never has one seen him smile again’.
_Section 54._
BARLEY (S. 3, N. 2).
Barley is (S. 2, N. 1) now principally used[6] to make[1] malt for[2] brewing beer and distilling spirits. It serves, however[3], as food[4] in _the_ form of pearl barley, used[5] for thickening soups. It is also used[6] as food for poultry. Barley[7] meal is used for fattening pigs and turkeys. Barley straw furnishes us fodder[8] for cattle and horses. Barley is chiefly produced[9] in the northern regions of Europe, in Central Asia, and in North America. It is much hardier[10] than wheat, resists[11] _both_ heat and drought better, and[12] may therefore be raised from poorer soils. It[13] is said to be the most ancient food[4] of (S. 3, N. 2) man.—NELSON’S READERS.
[1] +bereiten+, see S. 19, N. 7.
[2] for — spirits, +zur Bierbrauerei und Branntweinbrennerei+, after which supply +daraus+.
[3] +indessen+.
[4] +Nahrungsmittel+, n.
[5] Say ‘which one uses for thickening soups’, +zur Verdickung der Suppen+.
[6] +benutzen+ and +gebrauchen+, which use alternately; as — poultry, +als Hühnerfutter+.
[7] Say ‘With barley meal one fattens (+mästen+) pigs and turkeys (+türkische Hühner+)’.
[8] +Vieh- und Pferdefutter+.
[9] +gebaut+. Where must the p. p. be placed here?
[10] +kräftig+.
[11] ‘to resist’ here = to bear, +vertragen+. Use the def. art. before the first noun.
[12] Say ‘and can therefore be cultivated (+an´bauen+) upon poorer soil’. Supply the adverb +auch+ after ‘therefore’.
[13] It is said to be, +sie soll ... sein+. =The verb +sollen+ is frequently used to express an assertion of another person, when it answers to the English ‘it is said’, ‘it is reported’, ‘they say’.=
_Section 55._
THE SOLDIER AND HIS FLAG (+Fahne+).
On seeing[1] a young Prussian soldier who was pressing his flag to his bosom in the agonies of death, Napoleon said to his officers: “Gentlemen[2], you see that a soldier has for his flag a sentiment almost approaching[3] idolatry. Render[4] funeral honours at once to this young man. I regret that I do not know his name, that[5] I might write to his family. Do not take[6] _away_ his flag; its silken folds will be an honourable shroud[7] for him.”—GENERAL BOURRIENNE[8].
[1] When =the Present Participle= is used =in adverbial clauses of time=, it must generally, by the help of one of the conjunctions +als+ (when), +nachdem+ (after), +indem+ (while, whilst), and +während+ (while, whilst), be changed into a finite verb, i.e. one with a personal termination; thus—
_Hearing_ his opponent speak in this way, his features assumed an expression of contempt.
+~Als~ er seinen Gegner so sprechen ~hörte~, nahmen seine Züge den Ausdruck der Verachtung an.+
_Having given_ his orders, the officer rode quickly away.
+~Nachdem er~ seine Befehle erteilt ~hatte~, ritt der Offizier schnell von dannen.+
_Looking_ at me in a suppliant manner, a tear glittered in her eye.
+~Indem sie~ mich bittend ~ansah~, glänzte eine Thräne in ihrem Auge.+
I saw it _when passing_ the house this morning.
+Ich sah es, ~als ich~ heute Morgen beim Hause ~vorüberging~.+
Consequently, the above passage must be rendered thus: ‘When Napoleon saw (+bemerken+) a young Prussian soldier who was pressing his flag to (+an+) his (S. 43, N. 9, _A_) bosom (+Herz+) in the agonies of death (+im Todeskampfe+, which place after ‘flag’), he said to his officers’: etc.
[2] Say ‘You see, gentlemen’.
[3] ‘to approach’ here = to border (+an etwas grenzen+). For the construction see S. 16, N. 4.
[4] Say ‘Bury this young man (+Jüngling+) without delay with military honours’.
[5] that — write, +um ... schreiben zu können+. He writes _to_ me once a month, +Er schreibt einmal monatlich ~an~ mich+.
[6] Supply the pronoun +ihm+ (from him) after the Imperative.
[7] +Leichentuch+, n.; ‘for him’ must be rendered by the dat. of the pers. pron., which place after the copula ‘will’.
[8] +Der General Bourrienne war Privatsekretär und späterer Biograph Napoleons des Ersten.+

OUR CULTIVATED[1] NATIVE[2] PLANTS.
Most[3] of the fruits which grow on trees, _such_ as our apples and pears, have[4] been greatly[5] improved and raised[6] above their natural state by grafting and other artificial means.
Of[7] cultivated native plants, the chief are celery[8], parsley, the cabbage, turnip, carrot, parsnips, and the hop. The onion is[9] a native of South France, the lettuce of Greece, the radish of China, and the rhubarb, now[10] so largely used in pies and puddings, of Russia. Cress comes from[11] Persia, spinach from some[12] part of Asia, and the Jerusalem artichoke[13] from Brazil.—HEWITT, PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF ENGLAND AND WALES.
[1] +veredelt.+
[2] +einheimisch.+
[3] The clause ‘Most — trees’ may be briefly rendered by ‘+Die meisten Baumfrüchte+’.
[4] Here follows the adverbial clause ‘by grafting — means’.
[5] +bedeutend.+
[6] ‘raised — state’ may be elegantly rendered by the p. p. ‘cultivated’ (+veredelt+).
[7] Say ‘The principal cultivated native plants are’, etc.
[8] See S. 3, N. 2. I should recommend to repeat the art. before each of the following six nouns.
[9] is a native _of_, +stammt ~aus~+.
[10] ‘Now — puddings’. This elliptic clause must be completed in German. Say ‘which is now so largely (much) used in pies (+Pasteten+) and puddings’.
[11] +aus+.
[12] ‘some’, here +irgend ein+.

THE BEQUEST[1].
I.
An old avaricious English gentleman[2] had three sons, of whom one[3] was a good-natured but light-minded fellow. Whenever (S. 18, N. 6) he fell[4] into any trouble, he excused himself on[5] the ground that[6] he was seeing life. His prodigality, however, annoyed[7] his father so much[8], that he resolved to disinherit (S. 1, N. 2) him. His friends interceded[9] in his favour, but their efforts were in vain.
When the old gentleman[10] felt his end approaching, he called his sons together[11], and said to them: “I leave[12] to my son John my whole estate[13], and desire him[14] to be frugal.” John[15], in a sorrowful tone, as is usual on such occasions, prayed heaven to prolong his father’s life, and give him health to enjoy the gift[16] himself.
[1] +Das Vermächtnis.+
[2] +Engländer.+
[3] Say ‘the one’.
[4] to fall into trouble, +in Verlegenheit geraten+.
[5] on the ground, +damit+.
[6] +daß er das Leben kennen lerne.+ Comp. App. §§ 28 and 30.
[7] +verdrießen+. See S. 5, N. 2.
[8] +sehr.+
[9] to intercede in a person’s favour, +zu gunsten einer Person sprechen+. He interceded in my favour, +er sprach zu meinen gunsten+. Supply the adverb +zwar+ (it is true) after the verb.
[10] +Herr+; to feel one’s end approaching, +sein Ende heran´nahen fühlen+.
[11] together, +zu sich+.
[12] ‘to leave’, here = to bequeath.
[13] +Besitzung+, f.
[14] The construction of =the Infinitive with an Accusative=, so frequently employed in English as an imitation of the Latin and Greek, =is unknown in German=. Such constructions must be rendered by a subordinate clause introduced by the conjunction ~+daß+~; as—
I know _him to be_ an industrious man.
+Ich weiß, daß er ein fleißiger Mann ist+.
See also App. § 34, and say ‘and wish that he may be frugal (+sparsam+)’.
[15] This passage requires the following construction: ‘As (+wie+) it is usual (+üblich+) on (+bei+) such occasions, John (App. § 15) implored heaven in (+mit+) a sorrowful tone to prolong’, etc. The noun +Himmel+ is always used with the article.
[16] +Vermächtnis+.
_Section 58._
THE BEQUEST.
II.
The father continued: “I leave to my son James my money[1], amounting[2] to four thousand pounds[3].” “Ah, father,” said[4] James, of course in[4] great affliction, “may (App. § 34) heaven give you life and health to enjoy the gift yourself.” The[5] father, then addressing the spendthrift, said: “As[6] for you, Dick, you[7] will never come to good; you will never be rich. I leave you a shilling to (S. 19, N. 7) buy[8] a halter.” “Ah, father,” said Dick in _a_ most[9] melancholy voice, “may heaven give you life and health to enjoy the gift yourself!”—ANONYMOUS.
[1] ‘money’, here = ready money, +bares Geld+.
[2] to amount to something, +sich ~auf~ etwas belaufen+. See S. 16, N. 4.
[3] +=Das Pfund=+, one pound English money, never takes the sign of the Plural in German, and the same refers to ‘+=die Mark=+’, a German coin corresponding to one shilling English.
[4] said = exclaimed; in = with.
[5] Say ‘Upon this the father addressed himself (+sich wenden+) to (+an+) the spendthrift and said’.
[6] As — Dick, +Was dich betrifft, Richard.+
[7] Introduce this clause by the adverbial conjunction +so+, and see App. § 15; to come to good, +zu etwas Rechtem kommen+.
[8] =The German language, as a rule, requires that the person for whose benefit an action is performed, is clearly indicated. When this is not done by a noun in the dative case, it is generally done by means of the dative of a personal pronoun=; as—
I will buy a hat.
+Ich will ~mir~ einen Hut kaufen.+
We have built a house.
+Wir haben ~uns~ ein Haus gebaut.+
Supply, therefore, the necessary pronoun after the conjunction +um+; a halter = a rope, +Strick+, m.
[9] Render ‘most’ here by ‘+höchst+’.
_Section 59._
WHEAT.
Wheat is the most valuable[1] of all grains, because[2] from it, chiefly, we obtain the flour of which bread is made. In order to make[3] flour, the grains of wheat[4] are crushed[5] between stones in a mill. The crushed mass is then separated[6] into two parts,—bran[7] and flour. Bran is the outer husk of the grain, which is used (S. 4, N. 4) for[8] fattening cattle, etc.[9] It[10] does no harm, however, to mix the bran with the flour; the mixture is more nourishing than the pure flour. The bran makes the flour and the bread darker _in colour_; but this is no disadvantage, for brown bread is both[11] cheaper and more nourishing than white bread. Bread[12] is often artificially whitened by[13] the addition of alum and other injurious substances. Wheat is[14] chiefly grown in France, Germany, Austria, Southern Russia, (S. 46, N. 6) the British Isles, Australia, the United States, Canada, Egypt, and Northern Africa.—NELSON’S READERS.
[1] +wertvoll+; ‘grain’, here +Kornart+, f.
[2] Say ‘because it yields (+liefern+) us chiefly the flour for our bread’.
[3] +bereiten.+
[4] Form a compound noun of ‘wheat’ and ‘grains’ (+Körner+).
[5] +zermahlen.+
[6] +sondern.+
[7] The prep. ‘in’ must be repeated before this and the following noun.
[8] for — cattle, +zur Viehfütterung+.
[9] +u. s. w.+, i.e. +und so weiter+.
[10] It — however, +Übrigens schadet es nichts+.
[11] both ... and, +sowohl ... als auch+.
[12] Say ‘Bread receives (+erhalten+) often an artificial whiteness through an addition’, etc.
[13] When ‘=by=’ is equivalent to ‘=through=’, it must be rendered by +=durch=+.
[14] Say ‘grows chiefly’, in order to make the construction more concise than it would be by using a p. p., which would have its place at the end of the whole clause, and would thus make the construction too lengthy.
_Section 60._
OCCUPATION OF THE ANGLO-SAXONS.
Fishing (S. 40, N. 9) was a principal occupation, owing[1] to the frequent abstinences from flesh-meat, enjoined[2] by (S. 59, N. 13) a superstitious ritual[3]. Eels were taken[4] in immense numbers in the marsh lands of the Eastern counties; salmon in the river Dee; herrings along the shores of Suffolk, Kent, and Sussex, in[5] their annual migration; while larger species, as[6] the whale and grampus[7], were captured in the open sea. Hunting and falconry were the field-sports[8] of the great. The beasts of the forest or chase, which were protected by fines, and reserved[9] for privileged persons, were the[10] stag, roebuck, hare, and rabbit. The wolf, fox, and boar might[11] be killed by[12] any one with impunity, if (S. 27, N. 7) found without[13] the limits of the chase or forest. The wild duck and heron were the[14] common quarry.—MILNER, HISTORY OF ENGLAND.
[1] Say ‘in consequence of the frequent fasting’.
[2] +an´ordnen.+ See S. 7, N. 3, _B_.
[3] +Ritus+, m.
[4] ‘to take’, here = to catch; numbers = multitudes, +Menge+, f.; marsh lands, +Marschgegenden+.
[5] in = upon.
[6] as = like, +wie+.
[7] +der Schwertfisch+ (Delphinus orca).
[8] +Vergnügungen+.
[9] +reservieren+.
[10] I propose to use the following seven nouns in the plural and without the article, in order to avoid the frequent repetition of the same.
[11] Use the Imperf. of +dürfen+.
[12] by — impunity, +von jedermann ungestraft+.
[13] without = outside, +außerhalb+.
[14] Say ‘the booty of all’.

(Extract from a sermon preached to a congregation of children at Chicago.)
When[2] I was in the Sunday-school, and had just begun to read about[3] David, I[4] did not feel sure he ever was a real baby, and had to be fed with a teaspoon; or that he ever was a real little boy[5] that[6] went to school as I did, and played marbles[7], and had a peg-top[8], a jack-knife[9], some slate pencils, ever[10] so many buttons, and a piece of string[11], all in one pocket; that[12] he ever had to try hard not to cry when he went to school very cold[13] mornings; or[14] that the teacher spoke sharp to him, when the little chap had tried[15] his best to get[16] his lesson, and[17] did not get it very well.
[1] +Zartfühlend, zuverlässig und treu.+
[2] Say ‘when I went to the Sunday-school’, and supply the adverb noch after the subject.
[3] +über.+
[4] Say ‘I could scarcely imagine, that he ever really had been a little child and had to be fed with a teaspoon (+und mit einem Theelöffel habe gefüttert werden müssen+)’. By carefully reading §§ 29 and 30 of the Appendix, the student will see that the verbs depending on the governing verb ‘_imagine_’ must stand in the Perfect of the Subjunctive Mood. According to S. 52, N. 8, however, the auxiliary ‘_sei_’ may be omitted in the clause ‘that he ever really had been a little child’.
[5] +Junge.+ The auxiliary ‘+sei+’ may again be omitted here.
[6] that = who; as I did = ‘like myself’, which place immediately after the relat. pron.
[7] +Schusser+. Remember that both this and the next clause are depending on the relative clause ‘that — did’; place, therefore, the verb ‘played’ after ‘marbles’, and the verb ‘had’ after ‘peg-top’.

[14] Say ‘or that the teacher had ever scolded (+schelten+) the little fellow (+Bursche+), when he had’, etc.
[15] to try one’s best, +sich Mühe geben+.
[16] to get one’s lesson = to learn one’s lesson, +seine Lektion erlernen+.

But you[1] know, ministers[2] have to find out all about such men as David; and I have found out enough to[3] make me feel sure he was once a little boy, _just_ like _one of_ you; that he had[4] to learn verses, like you; and didn’t like (S. 20, N. 2, _A_) it, like you; and that he did not like to go to bed early, or to get up early, like you.
I rather[5] fear that, in the summer, he[6] ate green apples, unripe melons, hard peaches, and sour plums, as[7] you _do_; and[8] got sick, and was very sorry, and had to take[9] medicine, as you _do_; that he said he would (App. § 28) never do it again, and that he[10] then never did _do_ it again, as[11] I hope you will neither.
[1] Use the 2nd pers. pl., and after the verb supply the adverb ‘+ja+’, which will be equivalent to the English ‘I am sure’.
[2] +die Pfarrer+, before which supply the conj. +daß+. Have to = must; to find out, +aus´findig machen+; all — David = all (S. 3, N. 7) that relates (+sich beziehen+) to (_auf_) such men as David.
[3] Say ‘to (S. 19, N. 7) be convinced, that’, etc. Just — you, +wie ihr+.
[4] The auxiliaries ‘=to have=’ and ‘=to be=’ followed by the infinitive of another verb, must generally be rendered by the auxiliary verb of mood ‘+=müssen=+’; as—I have to do it, +Ich muß es thun+.
[5] +fast+, adv.; see S. 5, N. 2.
[6] The subject ‘he’ must immediately follow the conj. ‘that’.

Now[1], just here I was trying to see what[2] sort of boy David was when he grew[3] bigger; and, when I shut my eyes, and _so_ tried[4] to see _it_ all clearly, I heard a noise right[5] under my study window. This was[6] about[7] four o’clock, Friday afternoon; the schools were out, and the children running home[8]. I turned my head to see what was the matter[9], and then (App. § 14) I saw what I want[10] to tell you. About ten boys were standing together[11]. All at once a big boy knocked[12] a little boy[13] down, and rolled him in the snow[14]. The little boy got up[15], and said: “What[16] did you do that for?” Then[17] the big boy again approached the little boy[13], and I believe[18] he would have knocked him down again[19], had not the little boy[13] walked sobbing away[20] towards home.
[1] +Hier wollte ich nun sehen.+

[6] Here follow the words ‘on Friday afternoon’.
[7] Supply here the prep. ‘at’, +um+.
[8] The English ‘=home=’, after a verb denoting motion, must be rendered by +=nach Hause=+, and ‘=at home=’, after a verb denoting rest, by +=zu Hause=+.
[9] =the matter is=, +=es giebt=+, verb impers. Use the Present of the Subj., according to App. § 32.
[10] The auxiliary verb of mood ‘+=wollen=+’ expresses =wish= and =want=; as—
+Was ~wollen~ Sie?+
What do you _wish_?
+Zu wem ~wollen~ Sie?+
Who is it you _want_?
[11] +neben einander+.
[12] to knock down, +zu Boden schlagen+.
[13] The noun ‘boy’ need not be repeated here.
[14] Supply here the adverb ‘about’ (+umher+).
[15] to get up, +auf´stehen+.
[16] What ... for = Why. Use the 2nd pers. sing.
