y Great, Great Grandfather, James Barrett Haynes was christened on M September 1 3th 1 824. He went to sea, aged 9. A crew list, dated 1 842, of the barque Clio survives. The Clio was Padstow owned, although she was built in Nova Scotia ini 838. She mainly carried emigrants to Canada between 1 840 and 1 850. The 1 842 crew list gives Richard Philp (aged 22) from Port Quin as Second Mate and three seamen from Port Isaac. Nicholas Bunt (aged 27) was one of these seamen, the others being William Thomas (aged 32) and James Haynes (aged 1 8). The Clio was abandoned at sea in 1866.

When he was 45, in 1 869, James Barrett Haynes was First Coxswain of the Port Isaac Lifeboat. He was awarded a Silver Medal which is now in the possession of his great, great granddaughter, Mrs Pat Petrus of Weymouth, Massachusetts, USA.

James died in 1902 and was succeeded by his son, John, who was Coxswain of the Lifeboat from 1895 to 1908 when he resigned due to failing eyesight. It would appear that in those days there was no upper age limit as JB Haynes What is apparent is that most ‘old’ was 71 when he retired and John was 57. Port Isaac people are related somewhere along the line by blood John emigrated to the USA after the death of his young son in 1910 and his or marriage. Inbred, I suppose. first wife in 1911.

7 Cycling for Lepra A t the end of January, Diana and Ian Dow who own a cottage on / V Overcliff, cycled 450 miles round two of the poorest states in India in support of LEPRA (the British Leprosy Relief Association). Ian is a retired GP and Diana works in mental health and they wanted to see at first hand how leprosy was being defeated.

Diana writes, ‘We took our bikes up to Heathrow Airport where we met the other 12 cyclists who came from all over Britain. The rest of the group were considerably younger and fitter than us and even after our training rides on the Isle of Wight we found 50 miles a day on rough roads quite a challenge.

After flying to Calcutta, we had a 19-hour train journey to Visikapatnam on the Bay of Bengal. The next day there was a grand send off by local politicians, the press, photographers, TV and radio and then we were off on our bikes into the countryside of Orissa and Andhra Pradesh. hands, feet and eyes.

rew and prospective crew members take note - a competition back in December 1929 asked children to list the Cqualities necessary to be a Lifeboatman. Suggestions included: • Thinness - fat men might sink or crowd a boat. • They should not wear coloured socks or drink too much beer, nor smoke too much. • They must not be afraid of cold water. • They must not be subject to colds. • They must have sterling wives who will assist them to do their duty nobly - women who will be a help and not a hindrance. • They must be patient and yet firm with those who are drowning. • They need great strength when great sharks or such dangerous fish as that might bore a hole in the vessel. • They should live clean, respectable lives. • They must be happy to leave their warm beds in the middle of the night.

IB 'Better than those fancy cakes'

e haven't got a recipe from our usual cookery writer this month so I thought I'd share this one with you. was in one of my ‘trying to be a domestic goddess’ moods a couple of weeks ago and found this recipe in a magazine.W I had to adapt it as I didn’t have all the required ingredients but it turned out well enough and was immediately devoured by Sam, aided and abetted by Roy. In fact, in the words of Mr Speakman, ‘this is better than all those fancy cakes you can buy’! Singer and lemon Sponge Cake

4oz/l OOg soft margarine 4oz/100g golden granulated sugar 2 eggs 4oz/100g golden syrup for the filling (which is lovely) 8oz/200g self-raising flour for the icing 2oz/50g softened butter 2 tsp baking powder 6oz/175g unrefined icing sugar, 6oz/l 75g unrefined icing sugar, sifted 2tsp ground ginger sifted 2tblsp lemon curd pinch of grated nutmeg grated rind of a lemon 2tsp lemon juice 2tblsp milk

Preheat oven to 325"f/160"C/gas mark 3. The recipe 1 was using said grease and line two deep 8” sandwich tins but I just put in ’Lakeland’s’ ready-made cake tin liners. Now the tricky bit! Put all the cake ingredients in a large bowl and beat well together for about three minutes. Divide between the two cake tins and bake for about 25minutes. It should spring back when you press it with your finger when it is done. Leave in tin for about five minutes and then remove onto a wire rack and leave until completely cold (this bit was difficult because by this time Sam was drooling and kept asking when it would be ready). Then make the filling by beating all the filling ingredients together and spreading over one of the cakes. Then sandwich them together and Make the icing by mixing the icing sugar with the lemon rind and juice until smooth. If it’s too thick add a bit more lemon juice. Then either spread with a palette knife or pour over the cake and leave to set. if it’s a bit runny it’ll run down the sides and look quite pretty.

That’s it! For ‘domestic goddess' read increasing Sam’s waistline—someone’s gotta do it! - Sam Dee
