that_o nation_n where_o she_o be_v bear_v but_o they_o deny_v it_o with_o great_a scorn_n whereupon_o she_o immediate_o command_v her_o fishman_n to_o destroy_v all_o stranger_n ship_n that_o

the_o empress_n command_v the_o bear-man_n to_o view_v through_o their_o telescope_n what_o town_n and_o city_n those_o be_v that_o will_v not_o submit_v and_o have_v a_o full_a information_n
