Twilight years now spent writing memoirs which the Foreign Affairs Oral History Program of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Service Institute and 5eorgetown 2niversity requested for their archives. Bermuda - January 194. to July 1940 BermudaFs motto is borrowed from 7irgil: H8hither the Fates Lead 2s.H The Fates had led me to Bermuda. The manager of the Everest where I was to stay was at the dock to meet the Furness liner from New Dork that brought me to Bermuda in mid January 194.. This modest English type hotel had been recommended because the people were kind and the food was good. It had a home life atmosphere and was situated in spacious grounds directly across from the beautiful cathedral a dominating gothic edifice on Church Street. There were not many guests but the few were very congenial. 5radually I became acquainted. The maid called me every afternoon to ask if I would like to have tea with Mr. Porter an elderly gentleman who had been an instructor for years in Japan and translated Japanese poetry. 8e had many interesting chats over our cups of tea preferring to speak of the more esthetic side of the Japanese rather than the horrible havoc they hurled on Honolulu that fatal day of December 0 1941 when I was there. Soon I met Margaret McCollough an attractive Canadian widow who had been living in Monte Carlo until just before the fall of France. 8e became friends at once and our friendship was to last for many years. Then there was Stewart 8ilding a jovial Englishman whose name appealed to me. 8e had fun cycling and picnicking together. Several notes of introduction had been given to me before leaving 8ashington. One was to Mr. Toddings the publisher of the HMid Ocean News H which I presented shortly upon arrival. The very next day after calling on him I found myself in print. Little did I realiCe while we were chatting that my enthusiastic praise of the island was making copy for his paper. How could I have been so naive. But it was all true. Bermuda did seem to me like Tahiti and Hong 6ong wrapped in one and I did believe that I had found what I had been looking for. Always a lover of islands and ever in search of the haven I felt I had found mine especially after witnessing the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that suddenly plunged us into 8orld 8ar II and weary war years working in 8ashington. A note to Sir Howard Trot was also given me. Trot was a name interwoven in the history of the island when a family seat was established in the 10th century at their home 8alsingham. He offered me a job in the office of the Inverery that began its career as a hotel in 1910. Fate stepped in. A courtesy call was made one day at our American consulate a courtesy I knew was required of every traveler abroad. The consul who had a most charming manner 5 was Clay Merrill a tall broad shouldered man dressed in tweeds. During the course of our conversation I just happened to mention that I thought I would like to find a job some where not really having in mind one there. He asked me if I could type. I said that I could and then asked if he would like to see a letter I was fortunate to possess from my brother- in-lawFs father the Honorable South Trimble who had been for forty years clerk of the House. He read the letter thoughtfully and in a few minutes looked up and with a lovely economy of words said HSee my secretary Lilly Olsen.H So I went into her office where she began to iron out the logistical details of salary. Before I knew it I had been given a job in the consulate. 8ith the innocence of the proverbial lamb I had suddenly embarked upon a career in the Foreign Service of the 2nited States State Department of which I was only vaguely familiar. But with characteristic optimism thought it might have a future. How little did I know. I had been employed as a local and at a localFs low salary but I was lucky for later the State Department was cutting down staffs in an economy drive and no post could employ 2S citiCens abroad. I was to be receptionist and relieve the colored messenger boy Arnold who had been doing this as part time duty. Never having had previous State Department training I had it all to learn. Now that I had a job my living arrangements became inadequate. The Everest was comfortable for a short while but I knew that I could not rest forever there and it didnFt fit in with my now small salary so I made a change. I moved to 1idlin which was just around the corner on the other side of the cathedral and still in Pembroke parish. There I had a very pleasant room in the home of one of the old Bermudian families the Sutherland Coopers. Three windows looked out upon their green spacious lawn bordered by flower beds. 8hen all of my own things were unpacked and books arranged it looked coCy and cheerful. Mrs. Cooper was a dear. Often flowers from her garden were on my breakfast tray the colored maid brought up to me every morning. The English-Speaking 2nion familiarly known as the ES2 was just next door and after I became a member I could go there for lunch or dinner or have tea with friends. Some days Arnold the messenger boy would bring me a sandwich which I would have sitting on a bench beside the water and watch the little boats ride gracefully at anchor in the port and have a stroll to sample the sea breeCe.

Up until 1912, he was an unknown person apart from in nautical circles and was a British sailor that had served in the British Merchant Navy and the Royal Naval Reserve for many years. However, his name is now part of the grand legacy of the Titanic story. The Titanic needs no introduction, it is possibly the most known single word used that can bring up memories of the sinking of the ship for the relatives, it will reveal a story that is still known and discussed to this day. And yet, Captain Rostron had no connections with the ship, or the White Star Line before 1912. On the night of 14th/15th April 1912, because of his selfless actions, he would be best remembered as the Captain of the RMS Carpathia who rescued many hundreds of people from the sinking of the RMS Titanic, after it collided with an iceberg in the middle of the North Atlantic Ocean. Image Copyright 9gag.com Rostron was born in Bolton on the 14th May 1869 in the town of Bolton. His birthplace was at Bank Cottage, Sharples to parents James and Nancy Rostron.

  • The Fiction of Gothic Egypt and British Imperial Paranoia: the Curse of the Suez Canal
    The Fiction of Gothic Egypt and British Imperial Paranoia: The Curse of the Suez Canal AILISE BULFIN Trinity College, Dublin “Ah, my nineteenth-century friend, your father stole me from the land of my birth, and from the resting place the gods decreed for me; but beware, for retribution is pursuing you, and is even now close upon your heels.” —Guy Boothby, Pharos the Egyptian, 1899 What of this piercing of the sands? What of this union of the seas?… What good or ill from LESSEPS’ cut Eastward and Westward shall proceed? —“Latest—From the Sphinx,” Punch, 57 (27 November 1869), 210 IN 1859 FERDINAND DE LESSEPS began his great endeavour to sunder the isthmus of Suez and connect the Mediterranean with the Red Sea, the Occident with the Orient, simultaneously altering the ge- ography of the earth and irrevocably upsetting the precarious global balance of power. Ten years later the eyes of the world were upon Egypt as the Suez Canal was inaugurated amidst extravagant Franco-Egyp- tian celebrations in which a glittering cast of international dignitar- ies participated. That the opening of the canal would be momentous was acknowledged at the time, though the nature of its impact was a matter for speculation, as the question posed above by Punch implies. While its codevelopers France and Egypt pinned great hopes on the ca- nal, Britain was understandably suspicious of an endeavor that could potentially undermine its global imperial dominance—it would bring India nearer, but also make it more vulnerable to rival powers.

  • Littleton Bible Chapel Position Paper Covering and Uncovering of The
    Littleton Bible Chapel Position Paper Covering and Uncovering of the Head during Prayer and Ministry of the Word 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 It has been the practice of LBC for the past forty-five years to ask women to cover their heads when they pray and teach publicly, and for men to uncover their heads when they pray and teach in a public setting. This practice is not an empty tradition of our church but a direct injunction of the Scriptures. We have prepared the following paper on 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, for you to consider the accuracy and the truthfulness of our practice. It is our desire to encourage believers to take this passage seriously and to consistently practice the teaching therein. This has been a long neglected passage, and today is completely unacceptable in our feminist environment. We understand the offense of this teaching. But since we take the passage at face value and not as cultural, we have no choice but to practice its teaching. Our desire as elders is to make people aware of what the Bible teaches about this distinctive Christian practice and to encourage both men and women to practice this teaching. If however, people disagree with our interpretation, we do not force this practice on anyone. We respect the liberty of the conscience of all our fellow believers. 1 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 Headship and Subordination Symbolized by Covering and Uncovering of the Head The letter of 1 Corinthians deals with many practical local church issues and problems, ones that affect all churches in all ages.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE HEADSCARF IN FRANCE, TURKEY, AND THE UNITED STATES BY HERA HASHMI* INTRODUCTION In July 2009, a man stabbed and killed a pregnant woman wearing a headscarf in a German courtroom during an appellate trial for his Islamophobic remarks against her.1 Her death led to outrage around the world, and she became known as the "martyr of the veil," a woman killed for her religious belief.2 Yet it was just a simple piece of cloth that evoked this violent reaction. Such Islamaphobic sentiments seem to be spreading throughout various parts of the world. In 2004, France banned headscarves and all conspicuous religious symbols from public classrooms.3 In 2005, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)4 upheld Turkey's headscarf ban barring thousands of headscarf-wearing women from attending schools, universities, and entering government buildings in a country where a majority of the population is Muslim.
