PURSUIT AGAIN—CONCLUSION . 429 JACK MANLY CHAPTER I. AVHT I WENT TO SEA. IT was the evening of the sixteenth of March. Exactly six months had elapsed since I left my father's snug' villa at Peckham, with its walls shrouded by roses and honeysuckle; and now I found myself two thousand three hundred miles distant from it, in his agent's counting-room, in the dren.ry little town of St. John, in Newfoundland^ writing in a huge ledger, and blowing my fingers from time to time, for snow more than ten feet deep covered all the desolate country, and the shipping in the harbour was imbedded in ice at least three feet in thickness; while the thermometei', at which I glanced pretty often, informed me that the mercury had sunk twelve degrees below the freezing point. While busily engrossing quintals of salted fisb. 2 JACK MANLT. by the thousand, barrels of Hamburg meal and Irish pork, chests of bohea, bales of shingles, kegs of gunpowder, caplin nets, anchors and cables, and Indian com from the United States, with all the heterogeneous mass of everything which usually fill the stores of a wealthy merchant in that terra nova, I thought of the noisy world of London, from which I had been banished, or, as tutors and guardians phrased it, " sent to learn something of my father's business—i.e., practically to begin life as he had begun it;" and so I sighed impatiently over my monotonous task, while melting the congealed ink, from time to time, on the birch- wood fire, and reverting to v/hat March is in England, where we may v/atcli the bursting of the new buds and early flowers; where the birds are heard in every sprouting hedge and tree, and as v,-e inhale the fresh breeze of the morning, a new and unknown delight makes our pulses quicken and a glow of tenderness fill the heart—for then we see and feel, as some one says, " what we have seen and felt only in childhood and spring." "Belay this scribbling business, Jack," said a hearty voice in my ear ; " come, ship on board my brig, and have a cruise with me in the North Sea. I shall have all my hands aboard to-morrow." WHY I WENT TO SEA. 3 I looked up, threw away my pen, closed the gigantic ledger with a significant bang, and shook the hand of the speaker, who was my old friend and schoolfellow, Bob Hartly, whose face was as red as the keen frost of an American winter evening could make it, albeit he was buttoned to the throat in a thick, rough Flushing coat, and wore a cap with fur ear-covers tied under his chin—a monk-lik« hood much worn in these northern regions during the season of snow. " I don't think your cruise after seals and blubber will be a very lively affair, Bob," said I, rubbing my hands at the stove, on which he was knocking the ashes of his long Havannah. " Lively! if it is not more lively than this quill- driving work, may I never see London Bridge again, or take, ' Instead of pistol or a dagger, a Desperate leap down the falls of Niagara !'" " I am sick of this Cimmerian region!" said I, stamping with vexation at his jocular mood, when contrasted to my own surly one. " Cimmerian—ugh ! that phrase reminds me of school-times, and how we used to blunder through Homer together, for he drew all his images of Pluto V. 2 4 JACK MANLT. and Pandemonium from the dismal country of the Cimmerii. By Jove! I could give you a stave yet from Virgil or Ovid, hand over hand, on the same .-iubject; but that would be paying Her Majesty's colony a poor compliment." " Well, Bob, I am sick of this place, in which evil fate, or rather bad luck, has buried me alive— this frozen little town of wood and tar, without outlet by sea or land in winter, without amusement, and, at this time, seemingly without life." " It forms a contrast to London, certainly," said Hartly, assisting himself, uninvited, to the contents of a case-bottle of Hollands which stood near; " but there is a mint of money to be made in it." " The first English folks who came here were re­ duced to such straits, we are told, that they killed and ate each other; and those who returned were such skeletons that their wives and mothers did not know them." Hartly laughed loudly, and said— " But that was in the time of King Henry YIII., and people don't eat each other here now. But to resume what we were talking about " " Old Uriah Skrew, my father's agent, and I are on the worst terms; he keeps a constant watch over WHY I WENT TO SEA.

  • Palaeolithic Bone Retouchers from Belgium: a Preliminary­ Overview of the Recent Research Through Historic and Recently Excavated Bone Collections
    GRÉGORY ABRAMS PALAEOLITHIC BONE RETOUCHERS FROM BELGIUM: A PRE LIMINARY OVERVIEW OF THE RECENT RESEARCH THROUGH HISTORIC AND RECENTLY EXCAVATED BONE COLLECTIONS Abstract Since the first half of the 19th century, Belgium has provided a multitude of sites dating back to the Palaeo- lithic. These discoveries have contributed to the definition of the Palaeolithic and to the understanding of prehistoric people. This long tradition of research has resulted in the collection of thousands of bones that are increasingly the subject of extensive analysis, including the study of bone retouchers. At present, this re- search has identified 535 retouchers in various Belgian repositories. The tools come from different sites with highly variable and incomplete contextual information depending on their excavation history (e.g., Trou du Diable and the Caves of Goyet). In contrast, unit 5 of Scladina Cave constitutes a well-defined assemblage. Bones with fresh fracture patterns provide interesting technological data, such as a refitted cave bear femo- ral shaft that includes four retouchers. The use of cave bear bones for producing tools at Scladina Cave as well as retouchers made from Neanderthal remains from the 3rd Cave of Goyet gives rise to questions about the possible symbolic meanings attributed to particular species. Keywords Belgium; Middle Palaeolithic; Retouchers; Neanderthals; Cave bear; Refitting Introduction Belgian Palaeolithic research has its roots deep in ness of cave sites was such that most were explored the first half of the 19th century with the work of during the 19th century.

Explain the Hindi sources of Maratha history. 7. Know the Persian sources of Maratha history. 1.1 INTRODUCTION The history of Marathas can be best studied with the help of first hand source material like Bakhars, State papers, court Histories, Chronicles and accounts of contemporary travelers, who came to India and made observations of Maharashtra during the period of Marathas. The Maratha scholars and historians had worked hard to construct the history of the land and people of Maharashtra. Among such scholars people like Kashinath Sane, Rajwade, Khare and Parasnis were well known luminaries in this field of history writing of Maratha. Kashinath Sane published a mass of original material like Bakhars, Sanads, letters and other state papers in his journal Kavyetihas Samgraha for more eleven years during the nineteenth century. There is much more them contribution of the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhan Mandal, Pune to this regard.

  • A Suggested Blueprint for the Development of Maritime Archaeological Research in Namibia Bruno E.J.S
    Journal of Namibian Studies, 2 (2007): 103–121 ISSN: 1863-5954 A suggested blueprint for the development of maritime archaeological research in Namibia Bruno E.J.S. Werz Abstract During the last few decades, maritime archaeology has developed into an internationally accepted field of specialisation within the discipline of archaeology. It has, however, only gained academic recognition in Southern Africa since the late 1980s, when a lecturing post for maritime archaeology was established at the University of Cape Town. This resulted in initial efforts being focused on South Africa. Now, however, the time has come to expand the development of maritime archaeology to neighbouring countries. Due to various positive factors – including the presence of an important research potential as well as growing interest and positive contributions by some organisations and private individuals – Namibia provides a fertile ground to extend the field of operations. This article first summarises the objectives and methodology of maritime archaeological research in general; then it offers suggestions as to how to establish this research specialisation in Namibia, bearing in mind local circumstances. What is Maritime Archaeology? Maritime archaeology developed by means of an evolutionary process from underwater salvage, treasure hunting, the collecting of antiquities and the kind of archaeological work that was done until the early twentieth century. During the 1960s, the field became an area of specialisation within the discipline of archaeology. This period saw a growing involvement of professional archaeologists, the rudimentary development of research designs, the improvement of diving equipment, and the application of techniques that facilitated work in an underwater environment. The initial emphasis, however, was on the latter.1 As a result, the field did not obtain widespread support from its terrestrial counterparts, where efforts were generally directed at solving specific research problems.

  • Heavy Reliance on Plants for Romanian Cave Bears Evidenced by Amino Acid Nitrogen Isotope Analysis Yuichi I
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Heavy reliance on plants for Romanian cave bears evidenced by amino acid nitrogen isotope analysis Yuichi I. Naito 1,2*, Ioana N. Meleg3*, Marius Robu 3, Marius Vlaicu3, Dorothée G. Drucker 4, Christoph Wißing1, Michael Hofreiter5, Axel Barlow 5,6 & Hervé Bocherens 1,4 Heavy reliance on plants is rare in Carnivora and mostly limited to relatively small species in subtropical settings. The feeding behaviors of extinct cave bears living during Pleistocene cold periods at middle latitudes have been intensely studied using various approaches including isotopic analyses of fossil collagen. In contrast to cave bears from all other regions in Europe, some individuals from Romania show exceptionally high δ15N values that might be indicative of meat consumption. Herbivory on plants with high δ15N values cannot be ruled out based on this method, however. Here we apply an approach using the δ15N values of individual amino acids from collagen that ofsets the baseline δ15N variation among environments. The analysis yielded strong signals of reliance on plants for Romanian cave bears based on the δ15N values of glutamate and phenylalanine. These results could suggest that the high variability in bulk collagen δ15N values observed among cave bears in Romania refects niche partitioning but in a general trophic context of herbivory. Bears represent the largest terrestrial members within the Carnivora alive today and the vast majority of them have carnivorous or omnivorous feeding habits. Until around 25,000 years ago, the coldest period in the Pleistocene, additional, now extinct bear species were living1–4, among which the so-called cave bears, a very large type of bear that formed the sister lineage of extant brown bears and polar bears (e.g., ref.

(Pindar) Water. There's too much of it, or too little. It's too salty, or too sweet. It wells up from the ground, carves itself a way through the land, and then it's called a river or a stream. It descends from the heavens in a variety of forms - as dew or hail, to mention just the extremes. And then, of course, there is the all-encompassing water which we call the sea, and which reminds us of the beginning of all things. The English once labelled the Netherlands across the North Sea ‘this indigested vomit of the sea’. But the Dutch went to work on that vomit, systematically and stubbornly: ‘... their tireless hands manufactured this land, / drained it and trained it and planed it and planned’ (James Brockway). As God's subcontractors they gradually became experts in living apart together. Look carefully at the first photo. The water has struck again. We're talking 1926. Gelderland.

  • Comparison of Maxillary First Molar Occlusal Outlines of Neandertals from the Meuse River Basin of Belgium Using Elliptical Fourier Analysis
    Frank L’Engle Williams, Katherine M. Lane, William G. Anderson Anthropological Review • Vol. 80(3), 273–286 (2017) Comparison of maxillary first molar occlusal outlines of Neandertals from the Meuse River Basin of Belgium using elliptical Fourier analysis Frank L’Engle Williams, Katherine M. Lane, William G. Anderson Dental Microwear Laboratory, Department of Anthropology, Georgia State University, Atlanta GA, USA ABSTRACT: Several Neandertals derive from the karstic caves of the Meuse river tributaries of Belgium, in- cluding Engis 2, Scladina 4A-4 and Spy 1. These may form a group that is distinct in maxillary first molar occlusal outlines compared to La Quina 5 from Southwest France. Alternatively, chronological differences may separate individuals given that Scladina 4A-4 from MIS 5 is older than the others from MIS 3. Neo- lithic samples (n = 42) from Belgium (Maurenne Caverne de la Cave, Hastière Caverne M, Hastière Trou Garçon, Sclaigneaux and Bois Madame) dated to 4.6–3.9 kyr provide a context for the Neandertals. Dental casts were prepared from dental impressions of the original maxillary molars. Crown and occlusal areas as well as mesiodistal lengths were measured by calibrated Motic 3.0 microscope cameras. Occlusal outlines of the casts were captured through photostereomicroscopy and non-landmark smooth tracing methods. Occlusal outlines were processed using elliptical Fourier analysis within SHAPE v1.3 which reduced am- plitudes of the harmonics into principal components (PC) axes. The first two PC axes group the Nean- dertals, although Scladina 4A-4 falls nearly outside the convex hull for the Neolithic sample. Neandertals are imperfectly separated from the Neolithic sample on PC3 and PC4, and completely distinct on PC5 and PC6.

  • From Captain Kidd's Treasure Ghost to the Angel Moroni: Changing Dramatis Personae in Early Mormonism
    From Captain Kidd's Treasure Ghost to the Angel Moroni: Changing Dramatis Personae in Early Mormonism Ronald V. Huggins ONE DAY IN LATE MARCH 1697, a ship named the Adventure Galley arrived at the Island of Mohilla, one of the Comoro Islands. Its fever-stricken crew careened the vessel for cleaning and then proceeded to die off one by one, fifty men dead in about a week. The Adventure Galley had come to the Comoros the previous month, after stopping first at the neighboring Island of Johanna. It would not de- part again until April 18. Its captain, William (a.k.a. Robert) Kidd, did not know he would soon become one of history's most famous, and notorious, pirates. In those days pirates, even famous ones, were no oddity in the Comoros. Anyone who read, for example, the popular two-volume A General History of the Robberies and Murders of the Most Notorious Pyrates (1724 and 1728) by Daniel Defoe (a.k.a. Captain Charles Johnson), would find the Comoro Islands figuring into the accounts of Captains England, Misson, Tew, Kidd, Bowen, White, Condent, Cornelius, Howard, Williams, Burgess, North,1 and la Bouche.2 The pirate to whom Defoe dedicated his first chapter, Henry Avery (Every), also had a connection with the Comoros, which the author fails to men- 1. The edition used here is Daniel Defoe, A General History of the Pyrates, ed. Manuel Schon- horn, (Columbia, S.C.: University of South Carolina, 1972). Johanna is mentioned in the accounts of Captains England, 118, 130, 132; Misson, 407-16; Tew, 424-26; Kidd, 443; Bowen, 461; White, 478; Condent, 584; Cornelius, 605; Williams, 503; Burgess, 510; and North, 516.
