them to an English tune. And, clad in white, they
stood round the grave of Jason, and sang these words in the tongue he
loved the best:
Time, like an ever rolling stream
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
On the island rock of old Grimsey, close to the margin of the Arctic
seas, there is a pyramid of lava blocks, now honey-combed and
moss-covered, over Jason's rest. And to this day the place of it is
called "The place of Red Jason."

and the close of his career was critical and eventful in the extreme.
At its commencement the English were traders existing on sufferance
of the native princes. At its close they were masters of Bengal and
