I taught the dog, which I called "Bellona," to fetch sticks I threw into the water, and not only to fetch, but to fetch at once, without mouthing or playing with them.
After that, at the first casual opportunity, I presented Bellona to John Claverhouse.
Early next morning I saw him go by with a dip-net and gunnysack, and Bellona trotting at his heels.
Bellona was ambling about him, and they were in high feather, her short, snappy barks mingling with his deeper chest-notes.
These men placed no value whatever upon their own lives, and it was they who totally destroyed the great Mercenary city of
Bellona along with its population of over a hundred thousand souls.
If Amadis be the proud boast of Gaul, If by his progeny the fame of Greece Through all the regions of the earth be spread, Great Quixote crowned in grim
Bellona's hall To-day exalts La Mancha over these, And above Greece or Gaul she holds her head.
Nor was his eare less peal'd With noises loud and ruinous (to compare Great things with small) then when
BELLONA storms, With all her battering Engines bent to rase Som Capital City, or less then if this frame Of Heav'n were falling, and these Elements In mutinie had from her Axle torn The stedfast Earth.

"What we have shown through the Nikitin case is that, if you fight, you're able to get results, even if your enemy is the KGB," says Frederic Hauge, president of the
Bellona Foundation, the environmental group, based in Russia and Norway, that published Nikitin's original expose.
The American Chemical Society and other organizations have petitioned the Russian government to cease its prosecution of Nikitin, who works with an Oslo-based environmental group called the
Bellona Foundation.
