LkttEHH AND PapEHS Ki.ITKD UV SAK ! ' E. MORTON With Illustrations and Ma WESTMINSTER COMPANV TORONTO 191« PREFACE j It is with no assumed diffidence, but with a profound sense of its shortcomings that I venture to present as my last offering to my Church this sketch of mission work. To many readers it cannot fail to t be unsatisfactory ; something more searching, more comprehensive will be I desired. By way of apology I will state ; my reasons for the attempt. Much of the material is only to be found in private letters and papers ; many of these were so delapidated, partly through the effects of a tropical chmate, that they crumbled to the touch and would shortly have become useless. Dr. Morton frequently spoke of the need for some such record, especially of the earliest days It was suggested to him that he should undertake the task more particularly during his furlough of 1909- 1910. He seemed, however, to shrink from it, and mstead turned his attention to the searching of records in the British museum and the writing of what we have caUed " Chapters on the History of the Island." At that date and more than once Dr. Morton proposed that I should write some account of our work m Trinidad to be edited by himself. This I vv^ry naturally shrank from considering so long as there remained any possiblity of its being done by himself. ' IV FRBPACB I was brought to decide upon the present under- taking by finding, not till after he had passed away, all his note books removed from their ordinary and secluded corners and piled high in the cer're of a writing table in his office. I then gathered, lected and arranged consecutively my material ai sub- mitted the result to my son, Arthur S. V.,rton, whose assistance made this volume possible. The framing and arrangement are largely his. We are sensible that the result displays the defects incident to its processes, and others due to the desultory way in which the notes were originally recorded. We offer this volume then for what it may be worth in the present dearth of helps to the study of mission work in Trinidad, satisfied that I have at least preserved much that may be found useful, and been able to give a nearer view than is often possible of a missionary at his task. Portions of my material have appeared at date in the Maritime Monthly, called later the Maritime Presbyterian, in the Presbyterian Record and in the Presbyterian Witness ; of these same papers, how- ever, a goodly number are in my possession in Dr. Morton's own hand-writing. A number of the plates for the illustrations were secured by the Mission Council of Trinidad for a sketch published by them on the occasion of the Ministerial Jubilee of Dr. Morton in 191 1. For some we are indebted to the H. Strong Studio, Port of Spain, Trinidad, and for many photographs to Mr. George Adhar, an East Indian photographer of excellence, and a prominent member of the Susamachar congregation, San Fernando. Asto the text, all that is of recent authorship is given in the larger type. The smaller type is devoted to extracts from Dr. Morton's journals, letters, etc., PREFACE y and also from my own letters which are initialled at the beginning, thus S.E.M. Square brackets denote changes or additions to the originals. Lastly, I trust that in the near future such a history of the Trinidad Mission may appear as shall place on record the faithful work of the noble men and women who along with my husband bore the burden and heat of the early days in Trinidad. Toronto, July, 1916. Sarah E. Morton. My part in preparing this volume can be briefly explained. My mother submitted a large number of selections from my father's Journals and Papers.

    Martian Crater Morphology

    ANALYSIS OF THE DEPTH-DIAMETER RELATIONSHIP OF MARTIAN CRATERS A Capstone Experience Thesis Presented by Jared Howenstine Completion Date: May 2006 Approved By: Professor M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Professor Christopher Condit, Geology Professor Judith Young, Astronomy Abstract Title: Analysis of the Depth-Diameter Relationship of Martian Craters Author: Jared Howenstine, Astronomy Approved By: Judith Young, Astronomy Approved By: M. Darby Dyar, Astronomy Approved By: Christopher Condit, Geology CE Type: Departmental Honors Project Using a gridded version of maritan topography with the computer program Gridview, this project studied the depth-diameter relationship of martian impact craters. The work encompasses 361 profiles of impacts with diameters larger than 15 kilometers and is a continuation of work that was started at the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, Texas under the guidance of Dr. Walter S. Keifer. Using the most ‘pristine,’ or deepest craters in the data a depth-diameter relationship was determined: d = 0.610D 0.327 , where d is the depth of the crater and D is the diameter of the crater, both in kilometers. This relationship can then be used to estimate the theoretical depth of any impact radius, and therefore can be used to estimate the pristine shape of the crater. With a depth-diameter ratio for a particular crater, the measured depth can then be compared to this theoretical value and an estimate of the amount of material within the crater, or fill, can then be calculated. The data includes 140 named impact craters, 3 basins, and 218 other impacts. The named data encompasses all named impact structures of greater than 100 kilometers in diameter.

    Recent Channel Systems Emanating from Hale Crater Ejecta: Implications for the Noachian Landscape Evolution of Mars

    Lunar and Planetary Science XXXIX (2008) 2180.pdf RECENT CHANNEL SYSTEMS EMANATING FROM HALE CRATER EJECTA: IMPLICATIONS FOR THE NOACHIAN LANDSCAPE EVOLUTION OF MARS. L. L. Tornabene1, 2, A. S. McEwen1, and the HiRISE Team1, 1Lunar and Planetary Laboratory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, [email protected] Introduction: Impact cratering is a fundamental into linear elements that do not appear to be typical crater geologic process that dominated the distant geologic past rays, but like rays lie radial to Hale (e.g., 315°E, 32°S; of the terrestrial planets. Thereby, impacts played a 323.6°E, 35.7°S). Further, Hale has pristine morphologic significant role in the formation and evolution of planetary features at the decameter scale such as a sharp but crusts in the form of impact effects and byproducts (e.g., complexly terraced rim, a prominent central peak and only ejecta, breccias, impact melts, etc.). On Mars, impacts may small (<1 km) and few superimposed craters. The ejecta have liberated subsurface volatiles that, in the form of and secondaries from Hale are superimposed over liquid water, modified both surface morphology and surrounding terrains covering a large expanse of Mars, composition (e.g., phyllosilicates [e.g., 1]), and possibly with one swath of secondaries spanning >500 km wide. influenced early habitable environments. Although such an Hale also possesses ponded materials and channelized interaction has been inferred by studies of crater flows, which is an indication of the presence of impact- morphology [e.g., 2] and impact models [e.g., 3], direct melt bearing materials, as well as a testament to the evidence for the release of liquid water or other volatiles youthfulness and excellent state of preservation of the by Martian impacts was lacking [4].

    Crater Geometry and Ejecta Thickness of the Martian Impact Crater Tooting

    Meteoritics & Planetary Science 42, Nr 9, 1615–1625 (2007) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Crater geometry and ejecta thickness of the Martian impact crater Tooting Peter J. MOUGINIS-MARK and Harold GARBEIL Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai‘i, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822, USA (Received 25 October 2006; revision accepted 04 March 2007) Abstract–We use Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topographic data and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) visible (VIS) images to study the cavity and the ejecta blanket of a very fresh Martian impact crater ~29 km in diameter, with the provisional International Astronomical Union (IAU) name Tooting crater. This crater is very young, as demonstrated by the large depth/ diameter ratio (0.065), impact melt preserved on the walls and floor, an extensive secondary crater field, and only 13 superposed impact craters (all 54 to 234 meters in diameter) on the ~8120 km2 ejecta blanket. Because the pre-impact terrain was essentially flat, we can measure the volume of the crater cavity and ejecta deposits. Tooting crater has a rim height that has >500 m variation around the rim crest and a very large central peak (1052 m high and >9 km wide). Crater cavity volume (i.e., volume below the pre-impact terrain) is ~380 km3 and the volume of materials above the pre-impact terrain is ~425 km3. The ejecta thickness is often very thin (<20 m) throughout much of the ejecta blanket. There is a pronounced asymmetry in the ejecta blanket, suggestive of an oblique impact, which has resulted in up to ~100 m of additional ejecta thickness being deposited down-range compared to the up-range value at the same radial distance from the rim crest.

    Round the World by Andrew Carnegie Round the World by Andrew Carnegie Produced by Paul Wenker, Kurt Hockenbury and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. ROUND THE WORLD BY ANDREW CARNEGIE PREFACE It seems almost unnecessary to say that "Round the World," like "An American Four-in-Hand in Britain," was originally printed for private circulation. My publishers having asked permission to give it to the public, I have been induced to undertake the slight revision, and to make some additions necessary to fit the original for general circulation, not so much by the favorable reception accorded to the "Four-in-Hand" in England as well as in America, nor even by the flattering words of the critics who have dealt so kindly with it, but chiefly because of many valued letters which page 1 / 342 entire strangers have been so extremely good as to take the trouble to write to me, and which indeed are still coming almost daily. Some of these are from invalids who thank me for making the days during which they read the book pass more brightly than before. Can any knowledge be sweeter to one than this? These letters are precious to me, and it is their writers who are mainly responsible for this second volume, especially since some who have thus written have asked where it could be obtained and I have no copies to send to them, which it would have given me a rare pleasure to be able to do. I hope they will like it as they did the other. Some friends consider it better; others prefer the "Four-in-Hand." I think them different.

    Readers of This Family History Forum May Remember Seeing an Article About an Omission to the Eyemouth War Memorial and How

    John Willis and the “Cutty Sark” Tea Clipper By Walter V. Holden Readers of this Family History Forum may remember seeing an article about an omission to the Eyemouth War Memorial and how the writer Joan McGiveron (née Spouse) was proposing to visit the unveiling of the correction in July 2008, some 90 years after her grandfather John Spouse had been Killed in Action at Arras on the 21st.July 1918. Joan had researched her grandfather’s career, from when he was born in Eyemouth, to his death in World War 1. The omission was spotted by Joan's cousin David Spouse of Duns. David, after consultation with Joan and with the assistance of the British Legion, made it his duty to correct this omission. Fortuitously, there was sufficient room on the memorial inscriptions. Joan made the journey from Vancouver to Eyemouth to honour her grandfather’s name with the help of friends, relations and the British Legion, she fulfilled her duty on that July date. The unveiling ceremony was reported in the Berwick Advertiser at the time. Joan McGiveron is a keen family historian and without a doubt her expertise helped her fulfil her promise to the grandfather she never knew. However behind her fulfilment, she unearthed a more unique piece of maritime history when a query arrived from a descendant of John Willis Sr. of Eyemouth , asking Joan if there was a family connection. This story deserves to be recorded on the Burnmouth Community family history forum. Joan’s Great Great Great Grandparents were William Willis and Mary Maltman both of Eyemouth.
  • George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)

    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893)

    George Washington Wilson (1823-1893) Photographically innovative and entrepreneurial in business, Wilson was the most notable, successful and prolific stereo-photographer in Scotland and perhaps the entire UK. Having trained in Edinburgh as an artist, he worked as a miniature portrait painter and art teacher in Aberdeen from 1848. He started experimenting with photography in 1852, probably realising that it could potentially supplant his previous profession. In a short-lived partnership with Hay, he first exhibited stereoviews in 1853 at the Aberdeen Mechanics' Institution. A commission to photograph the construction of Balmoral Castle in 1854-55 led to a long royal association. His photos were used in the form of engravings for Queen Victoria's popular book “My Highland Journal”. His best-selling carte-de-visite of her on a pony held by Brown (judiciously cropped to remove other superfluous retainers) fuelled the gossip surrounding this relationship. His portrait studio in Aberdeen provided steady cashflow and in 1857, to promote his studio, he produced a print grouping together famous Aberdonians, one of the earliest ever examples of a photo-collage. He soon recognised that stereoviews were the key to prosperity and by 1863 had a catalogue of over 400 views from all across the UK, selling them in a wide variety of outlets including railway kiosks and inside cathedrals. His artistic training helped him compose picturesque and beautiful images, but he was also an innovative technician, experimenting on improving photographic techniques, chemistry and apparatus, working closely with camera and lens manufacturers. He was among the very first to publish “instantaneous” views, ranging from a bustling Princes Street, Edinburgh to a charming view of children paddling in the sea, both dating from 1859.
