DUE SOUTH ••«•(• I BOOK I ; THE BLUE LAGOON BOOK I PART I CHAPTER I WHERE THE SLUSH LAMP BURNS Mr Button was seated on a sea-chest with a fiddle under his left ear. He was playing the "Shan van vaught," and accompanying the tune, punctuating it, with blows of his left heel on the fo'cs'le deck. " O the Frinch are in the bay, Says the Shan van vaught. ^^ He was dressed in dungaree trousers, a striped shirt, and a jacket baize—green in parts from the influence of sun and salt. A typical old shell-back, round-shouldered, hooked of finger a figure with strong hints of a crab about it. — 2 Trite; B^LUE LAGOON His fac^'wasf like a lAoon, seen red through tropical mists ; and as he played it wore an expression of strained attention as though the fiddle were telling him tales much more marvellous than the old bald statement about Bantry Bay. *' Left-handed Pat," was his fo'cs'le name ; not because he was left-handed, but simply because everything he did he did wrong—or nearly so. Reefing or furling, or handling a slush tub if a mistake was to be made, he made it. He was a Celt, and all the salt seas that had flowed between him and Connaught these forty years and more had not washed the Celtic element from his blood, nor the belief in fairies from his soul. The Celtic nature is a fast dye, and Mr Button's nature was such that though he had been shanghaied by Larry Marr in 'Frisco, though he had got drunk in most ports of the world, though he had sailed with Yankee captains and been man-handled by Yankee mates, he still carried his fairies about with him—they, and a very large stock of original innocence. Nearly over the musician's head swung a hammock from which hung a leg ; other hammocks hanging in the semi - gloom called up suggestions of lemurs and arboreal bats. The swinging kerosene lamp cast its —a: THE SLUSH LAMP BURNS 3 light forward, past the heel of the bowsprit to the knightheads, lighting here a naked foot hanging over the side of a bunk, here a face from which protruded a pipe, here 2 breast covered with dark mossy hair, hen an arm tattooed. It was in the days before double topsaii yards had reduced ships' crews, and the fo cs'le of the Northumberland had a full company a crowd of packet rats such as often is to be found on a Cape Horner "Dutchmen" Americans—men who were farm labourers and tending pigs in Ohio three months back, old seasoned sailors like Paddy Button— mixture of the best and the worst of the earth, such as you find nowhere else in so small a space as in a ship's fo'cs'le. The Northumberland had experienced a terrible rounding of the Horn. Bound from New Orleans to 'Frisco she had spent thirty days battling with head-winds and storms down there, where the seas are so vast that three waves may cover with their amplitude more than a mile of sea space ; thirty days she had passed off Cape Stiff, and just now, at the moment of this story, she was locked in a calm south of the line. Mr Button finished his tune with a sweep of the bow, and drew his right coat sleeve ; 4 THE BLUE LAGOON across his forehead.

It explores both the specificity of Scottish production and its place within the broader cultural, political and economic contexts of the British film industry at key periods in the ‘silent’ era before and after the Great War.

  • Nell Emerald
    Nell Emerald Also Known As: Mrs. N. Beattie, Ellen Maud O’Shea Lived: October 29, 1882 - June 21, 1969 Worked as: company co-director, film actress, music hall performer, producer, screenwriter Worked In: United Kingdom: England by Tony Fletcher Ellen Maud O’Shea was born on October 29, 1882, in Soho, London. Both her parents were Irish. They had five daughters, and each sister had a stage name: Sarah Emily was known as Eily Adair, Alice Mary as Norah, Julia Blanche as Monie Mine, Ellen Maud as Nell, and Constance Gladys as Connie. Eily and Norah, the two eldest sisters, had a specialty act that was a version of the Alexandre Dumas classic The Corsican Brothers. Their mother worked as manager for “The Sisters O’Shea, Irish Duettists and Comedy Dancers.” Ernest De Vere, the manager of the Cambridge music hall, finally changed their name to “The Emerald Sisters,” and they became regulars on the Moss and Stoll Theatre circuits and toured abroad. All the sisters, apart from the youngest, Connie, took turns in the act. When she was twenty-eight, Nell married David George Beattie, also known as Charles Beattie, on August 9, 1910. This brought a change to her career. At Charles’s request she stopped performing in variety and music hall shows. It was around this period that Nell entered the film industry both as actress and producer, working throughout most of the 1910s in various film companies located at Brighton and Shoreham on the south coast of England. One of these companies, the Brightonia Film Company, was registered on May 7, 1913, with a capital of £1,000 and a film factory at Hampton Street in Brighton.

  • An Outcast of the Islands Uniform with This Volume in Style and Price
    J BY THE SAME AUTHOR. ALMAYE RS FOLLY. Some Opinions of the Press. The Daily Chronicle says : ". We have been struck with the book, and know nothing quite like it in recent years. Mr. Conrad may go on, with he \vill find his and confidence ; public, and he deserves his place." " The Manchester Courier says : . The descriptions of scenery and of character are glorious ; the languor the tropics can almost be felt as we read. Mr. Conrad has struck out a new path and gained success therein." " ' ' The Guardian says : Almayer's Folly is one of the most charming romances it has been our fortune to read for many a long day. ... Its chief charm cannot be epitomised ... it lies above all in the pen of Mr. Conrad himself, and we cannot hope to transfer that gift to our own." " ' ' The Saturday Review says : Almayer's Folly is a very powerful story indeed, with effects that will certainly capture the imagination and haunt the memory of the reader. ... It is indeed exceedingly well imagined and well written, and it will certainly secure Mr. Conrad a high place among contemporary story-tellers." " The Speaker says : The Press has already given utterance to very favourable criticisms on the new story, by a new writer, called ' Almayer's Folly.' It remains for us to join in the hope that this may not be the last work from the same pen. The whole story is told with a reticence which serves to make the tragedy more impressive. It is impossible to forget the book.
