Eclipses, 1866. in the year 1866^ there will be fice Eclipses, three of the Sux and TWO of the Moon, but of these, only TWO will be visible in this Island. The first a partial Eclipse of the Sun, March 16th, invisible in this Island, and will be seen only between the parallels of 44 and 82 North Latitude, and from 120 East to 77 West Longitude, that is, in the North Pacific Ocean, Siberia, &c. The second a total Eclipse of the Moon, March the SOth and 31st. visible in Newfoundland.

Th? third a par'ial Eclipse of the Sun, April the 14th, not visi- ble in Newfoundland, and will be sesn only in the Southern Ocean and in a part of Australia • The fourth a total Eclipse of the Moon, September 23rd and 24th, invisib'e in Newfoundland, as the Moon wi.l be below our horizon during its continuance.

The following Memorandum has been prepared by an intelligent Shipmaster for msertion in ths Almanac, hoping that it may prove useful to the numerous and important class to which he belongs : — " Mariners leaving Sydney, Cape Breton, bound to St. John's, Newfoundland, sh'juld be very Ciirefal in the course they steer. The common course is E.S.E., but if the wind is S.S.W. the course should be S.E. instead of E.S.E., particularly after a N.E. or Nor- therly wind ; that wind forces the water out of the Straits ol Beile Isle so strong when the wind changes to the Southwest or South ic relaxes back again, which causes a very strong current from the South running to the North, and hems th'j radriner in shice ; the result is, his vessel is iftranded or a loiai v^recic before he knows "where lie is situated. I throw out this hint for Newfoundlanders in particular, as they generally keep too near the coast. Englishmen eoming down adopt a better course from Sydney to St. JoU.i's ; they give Newfoundland a good berth until they pass Cape Race, then they haul in and make the Iront of tliH Island, which is a good plan, the safest corning from the Webiward." 7 THE NEWFOUNDLAND ALMANAC.

Contested sites and narratives of nation in Newfoundland Johanne Devlin Trew1 Queen’s University Belfast Newfoundland was entering a limbo… We had admitted, neither for the first nor the last time, that nationhood was a luxury we could not afford (Wayne Johnston, The Colony of Unrequited Dreams). The Irish in Newfoundland have developed their culture and identity over the past 300 years in the context of the island’s changing political status from independent territory to British colony, and to Canadian province (since 1949).

INTRODUCTION After a long hiatus, historians recently have begun to re-examine the history of policy and development in Newfoundland.1 Given the importance of rail- ways to such policies in the nineteenth century, it is not surprising that much discussion has focused on attitudes towards this technology. Yet, despite its importance, the historiography of Newfoundland’s railway remains remark- ably thin; since the 1960s, only a handful of publications have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the railway’s history.
