  • The Wheel Spins
    The Wheel Spins by Ethel Lina White 1 CHAPTER 1. WITHOUT REGRETS The day before the disaster, Iris Carr had her first premonition of danger. She was used to the protection of a crowd, whom—with unconscious flattery—she called “her friends.” An attractive orphan of independent means, she had been surrounded always with clumps of people. They thought for her—or rather, she accepted their opinions, and they shouted for her—since her voice was rather too low in register, for mass social intercourse. Their constant presence tended to create the illusion that she moved in a large circle, in spite of the fact that the same faces recurred with seasonal regularity. They also made her pleasantly aware of popularity. Her photograph appeared in the pictorial papers through the medium of a photographer’s offer of publicity, after the Press announcement of her engagement to one of the crowd. This was Fame. Then, shortly afterwards, her engagement was broken, by mutual consent—which was a lawful occasion for the reproduction of another portrait. More Fame. And her mother, who died at her birth, might have wept or smiled at these pitiful flickers of human vanity, arising, like bubbles of marsh-gas, on the darkness below. When she experienced her first threat of insecurity, Iris was feeling especially well and happy after an unconventional health-holiday. With the triumph of near-pioneers, the crowd had swooped down on a beautiful village of picturesque squalor, tucked away in a remote corner of Europe, and taken possession of it by the act of scrawling their names in the visitors’ book.

  • Out of Exile by Wilbur Daniel Steele from the Pictorial Review Among All the Memories of My Boyhood in Urkey Island the Story Of
    Out Of Exile By Wilbur Daniel Steele From The Pictorial Review Among all the memories of my boyhood in Urkey Island the story of Mary Matheson and the Blake boys comes back to me now, more than any other, with the sense of a thing seen in a glass darkly. And the darkness of the glass was my own adolescence. I know that now, and I'm sorry. I'm ashamed to find myself suspecting that half of Mary Matheson's mature beauty in my eyes may have been romance, and half the romance mystery, and half of that the unsettling discovery that the other sex does not fade at seventeen and wither quite away at twenty, as had been taken somehow for granted. I'm glad there is no possibility of meeting her again as she was at thirty, and so making sure: I shall wish to remember her as the boy of sixteen saw her that night waiting in the dunes above the wreck of the "India ship," with Rolldown Nickerson bleating as he fled from the small, queer casket of polished wood he had flung on the sand, and the bridegroom peering out of the church window, over the moors in Urkey Village. The thing began when I was too young to make much of it yet, a wonder of less than seven days among all the other bright, fragmentary wonders of a boy's life at six. Mainly I remember that Mary Matheson was a fool; every one in Urkey Village was saying that. I can't tell how long the Blake boys had been courting her.

  • JCS Journal No. 8
    THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY THE JAMES CAIRD SOCIETY JOURNAL Number Eight Antarctic Exploration Sir Ernest Shackleton May 2016 1 Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton 2 The James Caird Society Journal – Number Eight Welcome to the latest Journal (‘Number Eight’). As ever, it is a privilege to edit this work as I to seek to inspire and educate JCS members in all things ‘Shackleton’. We remain, of course, in the midst of much jubilation and the Society has advanced the Centennial celebrations in no mean fashion. Thanks must go to your hardworking Committee and, in particular, our Chairman, Sir James, who has spearheaded the major calendar of events splendidly. These will, in effect, culminate in a wonderful Commemoration Service at Westminster Abbey on Friday 20th May 2016. The launch, in January 2014, of the Society’s ‘The Shackleton Centenary Book (2014)’ [Sutherland House Publishing; ISBN 978-0-9576293-0-1] was a great success with all copies sold – thanks to the advance subscription of many members. TSCB (2014) focused, almost exclusively, on the Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (ITAE) (1914/16) and was intended to be the principal written contribution by the JCS to celebrate the Centenary of the Boss’s extraordinary achievements down south. ‘Number Eight’ attempts, therefore, to complement the record by sprinkling a number of extra polar ‘goodies’ into the mix. Tim Jarvis’s Shackleton Epic Expedition set the scene for our celebrations. His successful ‘double’ crossing of the Southern Ocean and South Georgia in early 2013 was followed by three gripping one-hour documentary programmes on ‘Discovery Channel’ broadcast far and wide.

  • Kent Knowles Quahaug
    Kent Knowles Quahaug By Joseph Crosby Lincoln KENT KNOWLES: QUAHAUG CHAPTER I It was Asaph Tidditt who told me how to begin this history. Perhaps I should be very much obliged to Asaph; perhaps I shouldn't. He has gotten me out of a difficulty—or into one; I am far from certain which. Ordinarily—I am speaking now of the writing of swashbuckling romances, which is, or was, my trade—I swear I never have called it a profession—the beginning of a story is the least of the troubles connected with its manufacture. Given a character or two and a situation, the beginning of one of those romances is, or was, pretty likely to be something like this: "It was a black night. Heavy clouds had obscured the setting sun and now, as the clock in the great stone tower boomed twelve, the darkness was pitchy." That is a good safe beginning. Midnight, a stone tower, a booming clock, and darkness make an appeal to the imagination. On a night like that almost anything may happen. A reader of one of my romances—and readers there must be, for the things did, and still do, sell to some extent—might be fairly certain that something WOULD happen before the end of the second page. After that the somethings continued to happen as fast as I could invent them. But this story was different. The weather or the time had nothing to do with its beginning. There were no solitary horsemen or strange wayfarers on lonely roads, no unexpected knocks at the doors of taverns, no cloaked personages landing from boats rowed by black-browed seamen with red handkerchiefs knotted about their heads and knives in their belts.
