That is to say, when the water was deep enough for the berg to float clear of the bottom of the sea, there could be no striæ; when the water was too shallow, the berg would not float at all, and there would be no striæ.
The striations would occur only when the water was; just deep enough to float the berg, and not deep enough to raise the berg clear of the rocks; and but a small part of the bottom of the sea could fulfill these conditions.

 BC Museum: James Hogg, Part III
He tells of the wonderful individual tests in stormy weather carried out by his dogs on the hills of Yarrow, but how it would have gladdened the shepherd's heart to see the team work by Mr.
Wilson's Border Collies, trained on the hills in the Leithen Water Valley, a district well known and often frequented by the Ettrick Shepherd.
Hogg would, in my opinion, have been one of the leaders in the trial field had such exhibitions been in vogue in his day, because he could read character in the Collie, and doubtless he saw something outstanding in the expression of that wonderful worker, Sirrah, when he induced his owner to part with him.
