“... instead of arriving at Nichilli, on the 21st, their arrival did not take⟳ place⟳ until the 27th; and this delay⟳ was solely to be attributed to the circumvolutionary disposition of their guides, who, instead of proceeding in a straight line to the destined spot, went in a curvilinear direction, until, at one time, they were at a greater distance from Nichilli than they were when they set⟳ out from the ship.”

“In this respect⟳ it is like⟳ the rolling avalanche, that leaves detached portions of its bulk by the way, and yet keeps augmenting in its circumvolutionary course.”
