The Lutine Bell

(Ottawa Journal)

To announce the news of the King's death the famous Lutine bell at Lloyd's in London wasrung once. This is the custom when bad news is to be.repoi-ted. It is rung twice for good news. .

only very rarely is the bell toll- ed at all-it is reserved for an- nouncements of maior importance -and it was last rum: when Can- taln Carlsen came to Lloyd's to receive the nresentation for his riallantry on the Flying Enterprise. On that. occasion the bell was rung wice.

The history of the Lutlne bell might. encourage wold-diggers-in the literal sense of the term-to en salvaging in the North Sea. In October. I799. ii cargo of precious wold bullion-reports of its value vary between l:140.000 and f:l.400.- 000-was loaded on I naval frigate. called the Lutlne. at: Yai-mouth for shipping to Hamburg. The reason 3 naval vessel was chosen was to ensure safe passage for the valu- .--ble freight. Lloyd's had insured

One day after leaving port. the vessel was caught in a severe pale and sank. Lloyd's paid out for a total loss. but later occasional at- tempts at salvage were made. some of the gold was recovered--about l:40.000 of it-but the rest. still lies on the sea. bed. In 1859 another attempt at salvage brought up the ship's bell. It has been hung in Lloyd's underwriting room ever cc.

Notes From Another Island 3 Dy "Anson"

LONDON. England:-

On such official and other docu- mcnts as come our way from time to time and on which. for various reasons, we are required to record our "particulars", we customarily put down our nationality collect- ively as "British". Less officially we are inclined to be more exclus- ive, preferring to regard ourselves as Yorkshlremen, Kentishmen, De- vonians. Cockneys or natives of whagcever county or locality we happen to have been born in: we are all Ipt: to consider our own part of the country the best-if not, indeed, the only part worthy of note.

This is the measure of our par- tisanship. which finds other manl- festations of individual thinking in such matters as politics, sport. dialect food, climate, and in it host. of other ways. But". now and then there comes a time when we sink our differences (which are often no more than ll pose, any- way) and become irnlted as one Such an occasion burst upon us with numblnez suddenrless when we heard that King George V! had died. In an instant we were all members of one family. our ranks closed by the shock and the mag- nitude of out bereavement.

And yet. was it really "in an in- stant"? Looking back on that late- ful morning. rather grey and cold. it seemed that the news came as such a fearful blow that we cmlldnlt. fake it in fully.

There had seemed to be no cloud on the Rovnl horizon to obscure the virus- rwei: of lmnnv veers to come. Small wonder that the words of the of- rrzinl statement made an impact almost too great. to be fell at once.

He then turned into the North Side of the Market Square, which was crowd- ed with market. people and veh- icles. caused a great flutter of excitement among the fish-women. passed into Grafton Street. and entered a gangway at Mr. A.

Splitting The Infinitive

(Lethbridu Herald)

To knowingly split an infinitive is a crime according to the best minds in the country. It is, in fact. one of the worst crimes 3 person who tries to correctly write English can commit. At any rate. that is what we have re- cently been reading in in series of articles on the split infinitive in a widely read maA'BZln9-

The trouble with the split In- finitive to that many people don't know what. an infinitive is. In fact we are willing to confident- ly wager that half the people who read this don't know what one is. To them we can only say that they are lucky, because to know and to wholly understand an in- finitive is to bitterly hate it. 'We hate lnflnltlves. They have been a source of frustration for years. To tell the truth, it has taken us years to really get to know what one looks like, and an equal length of time to finally learn to completely avoid split- ting the.f.ool things. .

We hope to never mention the subject again.
