I suspect he originally conceived of a trilogy ending with Patrick cast ashore on the rocky coast of mature insight, so when installment four, Mother's Milk (2005), opened with a ludicrous attempt to write from the viewpoint of a preverbal infant, Patrick's new son — St. Aubyn does not attempt to tackle the stylistic problems involved, trying instead to barrel past them as though they weren't there (not a moocow in sight) — I decided to close the book without finishing and without regret.

On 6 May 1849, a cyclone carried Swift in a strong southeasterly wind as the schooner cast ashore on a beach north of present-day New Brighton. The town has since then appeared in a postcard and is a popular holiday destination.

He notes several differences, however. The man cast ashore with the children is not a cook, like in the American film, but Emi's father; the children meet and are ultimately deified by the natives of the island, rather than avoid them; the castaways learn of sex from watching a rape and not through experimentation; and ultimately the children return home of their own volition, rather than by accident.

The crew are drawn into Fand's eternal world of dancing and feasting, as the rising sea overwhelms the island, and the garden of Fand is lost from sight.Gilman, Lawrence. "Music of the Month: Some Celtic Music, Old and New", The North American Review, May 1921, pp.

Stock Island, Florida is one of the places in which O. reses is known to occur. Henry Augustus Pilsbry suggested, in 1946, that Orthalicus reses reses arrived in Florida from Central America and the Caribbean shortly after the emergence of the Florida peninsula in the late Pleistocene. Snails that were sealed in place on floating tropical trees may have been cast ashore on the Florida peninsula by high winds and hurricanes. This form of dispersal has been suggested for both Orthalicus and Liguus, but the exact origin of these species is still in question.

20-27 All are said to give forth a good scent when submitted to hot coals resembling somewhat the odor of castoreum. The operculum can be found in those species of mollusks with the following taxonomic names: Strombus fusus, Strombus murex and Strombus lentiginosus. Although the Talmud says that this spice is "produced on the ground" (), Zohar Amar argues that it was an animal product,Amar, Z. (2002), p. 78 implying that it was viewed by some as a plant growth only because of the horny plates of these sea creatures were often cast ashore by the waves and were found lying upon the sea shore.

The Burial of Drowned Persons Act 1808, also known as Grylls' Act, is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (citation 48 Geo III c.75). The act provides that unclaimed bodies of dead persons cast ashore from the sea should be removed by the churchwardens and overseers of the parish, and decently interred in consecrated ground. The passage of the 1808 act was one of the consequences of the wreck of the Royal Navy frigate HMS Anson in Mount's Bay in 1807. Prior to the passage of this act it was customary to unceremoniously bury drowned seamen without shroud or coffin and in unconsecrated ground.

Guy and Peters decide to push further south, much to the chagrin of a part of the crew led by one seaman Hearne, who feels they should abandon the rescue attempt and head home before the onset of winter. The wreck of the Halbrane Not much later, in a freak accident, Halbrane is thrown upon an iceberg and subsequently lost. The crew makes it safely onto the iceberg, but with only one small boat left, it is doomed to drift on. The iceberg drifts even past the South Pole, before the whole party is cast ashore on a hitherto unknown land mass still within the pack ice barrier.

According to the 1879 "Annual Report of the Life Saving Service" these houses of refuge along the east coast of Florida "contemplate no other life saving operations than affording succor to shipwrecked persons who may be cast ashore, and who, in the absence of such means of relief, would be liable to perish from hunger and thirst in that desolate region. Crews of surfmen are not needed here, but the keepers and members of their families are required to go along the beach, in both directions, in search of castaways immediately after a storm." Aerial view of the property, c. 1960. It offered shelter to the survivors of the Georges Valentine shipwreck in 1904.

In Odyssey Book V, when shipwrecked Odysseus has been cast ashore, he finds a wild-olive that has grown together with a bearing one— inosculated, an arborist would say— on the Scherian seashore, where he crawled > Beneath two bushy olives sprung from the same root > one olive wild, the other well-bred stock > No sodden gusty winds could ever pierce them... > So dense they grew together, tangling side by side.Robert Fagles, > translator. > In the fourth century BCE Theophrastus, the most prominent pupil of Aristotle, wrote an Enquiry into Plants that stands at the head of the literary tradition of botany. Modern botanists often struggle to identify the plants named and described by Theophrastus, and modern naming conventions often make spurious links.

It did not escape the notice of 19th century folklorists that attestations of ' occur in Irish medieval and post-medieval literature, although they have been somewhat imprecise in specifying their textual sources. Croker's remark that "the romantic historians of Ireland" depicted ' (synonym of merrow) playing round the ships of the Milesians actually leads to the Book of Invasions, which recounts siren-like ' encountered by legendary ancestors of the Irish people while migrating across the Caspian Sea. O'Hanlon's disclosure of "an old tract, contained in the Book of Lecain [sic]" about the king of the Fomorians encountering them in the Ictian Sea is a tale in the '. The Annals of the Four Masters (17th cent.), an amalgamation of earlier annals, has an entry for the year 887 that reports that a mermaid was cast ashore on the coast of Scotland (Alba).

The taxonomic specific name, heinsohni, was chosen in honor of George Heinsohn, an Australian biologist who worked at James Cook University, "for his pioneering work on northeast Australian odontocetes, including the collection and initial analysis of Orcaella heinsohni specimens which form the basis for much of our knowledge of the new species". New species of large mammals are quite rarely described nowadays, and those that are usually are from remote areas — such as the saola - or are otherwise rarely encountered, see for example Perrin's beaked whale, or the spade-toothed whale, which is only known from two complete specimens and a few bones cast ashore. In fact, the Australian snubfin was the first new dolphin species to be described in 56 years, but was followed, in 2011, by the discovery and description of the Burrunan dolphin (T. australis), also from the Australian continent.

Motor Mechanic Barry Pike spotted her and dived into the water while Coxswain Kenneth Gibbs used all his skill to prevent the lifeboat crushing the two people in the water. Pike was washed ashore but returned and eventually brought the woman ashore, although she was found to be dead. He was awarded a silver medal for his courage and determination and also the Ralph Glister Award for the most meritorious service of the year by a member of the crew of an inshore lifeboat. Gibbs received his own bronze medal for his tremendous courage and excellent seamanship during a rescue that he led in the all-weather lifeboat on 16 December that year. On that occasion a sole crewman of the fishing boat Petit Michel was saved out at sea in a Force 9 storm.Morris, Jeff (2001) pp.32–33 1976 was another year of outstanding rescues by the lifeboat crews at Torbay. On 23 August the lifeboat went to rescue 14 people and a dog who had been cast ashore when their speedboat was wrecked south of Dartmouth.

In 1603, some Ryukyu sailors were cast ashore on the coast of the Sendai domain, and Tokugawa Ieyasu sent them back to Ryukyu.「島津家文書之二」(「大日本古文書・家わけ16」)No.1119 The Shimazu asked Ryukyu to thank Ieyasu again, but Ryukyu ignored the request.「雑録後編3」No.1862尚寧宛義久書状「別て貴国の流人、左相府の御哀憐を以て本国に之を送らるる。其の報礼の遅延然る可からず。急ぎ一使を遣わすに謝恩の意の厚きを以てすべし。其の期に莅めば馳走を遂ぐ可き者也」「雑録後編4」No.532島津家久「呈琉球国王書」「今際聘せず、明亦懈たれば、危うからざるを欲して得べけんなり」 The Shimazu then requested to launch a punitive mission against Ryukyu.
