13. Two framed Chromo-lithographs "published for the Company by Day and Son, Lithographers to the Queen, Gate Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London, 1858. Steam trains of the Oriental Inland Steam Company (Ltd.). Offices 9 Billiter St., London. Vessels constructed by Messrs. Vernon & Son, Liverpool, and Engines by Messrs. Rennie & Sons, London". (38.5 x 57.5cm.) Both lithographs headed : "Bourne's New System of Indian River Navigation. By means of Steam Vessels drawing trains of articulated barges of shallow draught". a) Explanation : "Peace". "The train exhibited in this picture consists of a Steam Vessel and five barges of light draught of water articulated to one another so as to permit deflection in bends of the river or when the vessels get aground, at the same time that only a single bow is presented to the water for the whole train, instead of a bow for each of the constituent barges. Such a train is capable of carrying 1,000 Tons of Cargo on a draught of water of under two feet, and the resistance is so small that very high rates of speed are attainable". "There are upwards of Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers in India, susceptible of beneficial Navigation by trains of this character. Such Navigation When widely established will enable large quantities of cotton, sugar, grain c other useful products to be transported at a moderate cost from the Interior to the Sea, and will afford easy means of access for British Manufactures. The Steam Vessels heretofore plying in India, though much less efficient than these, have yielded dividends of 30, 40 and even as much as 48 per cent per annum".

b) Explanation: "War". "The train here exhibited can carry with ease 1000 men with their arms, baggage, accoutrements and ammunition, and affords abundant room for the comfortable accommodation of such a force. Canvas houses or tents are provided which cover over the train when troops are carried, and these houses which are of the most spacious, airy, and comfortable character are easily removable should the vessels be required to come into action: at such times the troops can be sheltered in the holds". "These Vessels carry a very powerful armament and from being so low in the water they are little liable to injury from hostile shot: from their light draught of water they can go close to either bank to disembark troops or to land guns. At any moment the train may be separated into its constituent barges each of which will be an independent gun-boat. These trains can navigate every River of India without the possibility of being intercepted by an force which mutineers or rebels can collect unlike the Railway-trains, the River-trains cannot be stopped".

BC 356/B FRANCIS WALKER PAPERS THIS COLLECTION supplements the collection, BC 356, which is already housed in the Manuscripts & Archives Department of UCT Libraries, on loan from Sir Patrick Walker. The original collection deals with the papers of Admiral Sir Baldwin Wake Walker 1802-1876, Sir Patrick's great grand-father, and the first baronet, who was honoured for his service to his country. This smaller collection was donated by Sir Patrick's brother, Francis Donald Baldwin, and centres around their grandfather, Sir Francis Elliot - the 3rd Baronet. Sir Francis Elliot (known to his friends as Frank), was the third of five sons, and succeeded to the title on the death of his eldest brother, without male issue, in 1905. The second son was lost at sea in 1870 at the age of 21. The Walker men had a long tradition as sea-farers - Admiral Baldwin Wake Walker, his son Baldwin, and grandson Baldwin devoting their lives to the British Navy. A large proportion of this collection consists of personal letters to Sir Francis Walker, and to his wife, particularly from their son, the youngest Baldwin, at school, at naval college, and at sea. When this collection was donated, many of these letters were already sorted into bundles according to the date they were written by Baldwin, and which ship he was serving on at the time. This arrangement has been retained in tact, as it provides a chronology of Baldwin's naval career. Loose letters have been incorporated into the collection according to recipient. It is interesting to note that Baldwin wrote separately to his father and mother, and that the tone of the letters is quite different. It would appear that Baldwin changed his name, or at least his signature to "Chick" in his late teens. There are a number of letters from "Chick" to "Tub" at his father's house in the North of England. It is unclear who "Tub" is. As the letters to his sister Marge ceased in later adulthood, "Tub" could have been a nickname for Marge. It would appear that "Tub" took over Francis' wife's duties after her death in 1902. Baldwin has a very easy friendly relationship with her, which leads one to suppose it is Marge. From the letterheads it appears that the main home of Sir Francis and his wife Helen Constance (known as "Nell"), was at Alnwick in Northumberland, though a number of letters from "Nell" were written from an address in York. It could be that she originated from that area, and that the letters to her husband were written whilst she was on visits to her childhood home and her family there. The correspondence gives an interesting insight into life styles and relationships between family members in a privileged society around the turn of the century in England. 1.
