Britannic was the largest loss for the company, and also the largest ship sunk during the conflict. 1916 also saw the loss of the liner Cymric which was torpedoed off the Irish coast in May, and also of the cargo ship Georgic, which was scuttled in December with its cargo of 1,200 horses still on board, after being intercepted in the Atlantic by the German merchant raider . 1917 saw the loss of the liner Laurentic in January which struck a mine off the Irish coast and sank with the loss of 354 lives and 3,211 gold ingots. The following month the liner Afric was sunk by a torpedo in the English Channel, as was the liner Delphic in August.

V&A; image This small painting, which more closely approaches a Pre-Raphaelite landscape style, shows a half- harvested cornfield, with tools and jugs of the farm-workers piled up beside a corn stook. But the only figures visible are two clearly middle-class women, no doubt part of the same party as the artist, one sitting against a stook reading a book, and the other walking with a parasol. Any georgic or realist focus on agriculture is absent "his cornfield is just part of a landscape where middle-class people take their leisure. The corn is no more or no less useful than the beaches which we imagine to be in the distance of this brilliantly coloured painting".

Contributing to this were international boycotts against Germany after 1933 and the same with Italy in the late 1930s as the European geo-political situation deteriorated. The Italian liners were relying heavily on government subsidies, while the German Lloyd liners never received funding. In comparison, Normandie did not require government subsidies in service, with her income covering not only her operating expenses, but generating revenue of 158,000,000 francs. In contrast, Cunard White Star's Britannic III, Georgic II, and much older Aquitania, along with the Holland America Line's , were among the few North Atlantic liners to make a profit, carrying the lion's share of passengers in the years preceding World War II. Queen Mary, as Mauretania II earned only after WWII real profits.

A year after this merger, Olympic, the last of her class, was removed from service. She was scrapped in 1937. In 1947 Cunard acquired the 38% of Cunard White Star they did not already own, and on 31 December 1949 they acquired Cunard-White Star's assets and operations, and reverted to using the name "Cunard" on 1 January 1950. From the time of the 1934 merger, the house flags of both lines had been flown on all their ships, with each ship flying the flag of its original owner above the other, but from 1950, even Georgic and Britannic, the last surviving White Star liners, flew the Cunard house flag above the White Star burgee until they were each withdrawn from service, in 1956 and 1961 respectively.

In 1931 the bank was granted a coat of arms from the College of Arms, symbolising the 1927 acquisition of the Western Australian Bank. The arms featured an emu and a black swan (which is symbolic of Western Australia) rampant supporting a shield surmounted by a kangaroo and the emblem of the rising sun. On the shield are shown a ship, two sheaves of wheat, a sheep, a cow, and a crossed pick and spade, representing the principal industries of Australia at the time: pastoral, agricultural, mining and shipping. The motto included was "Sic fortis Etruria crevit", translated as "Thus strong Etruria prospered", a line taken from Virgil's Second Georgic and an early motto of the Colony of New South Wales.

The Averof left Alexandria on 30 June and passed through the Suez Canal to Port Tewfiq (Port Suez). The three weeks spent there saw her crew involved in the rescue of sailors and soldiers aboard the Cunard Line troopship MV Georgic, which was set ablaze and sunk at an adjacent berth during a Luftwaffe air raid on 6 July. With several of her boilers deactivated, and the fuel-oil spraying mechanism for her coal furnaces now inoperable, the Averof was then capable of only 9 knots, insufficient for her planned convoy duties. So on 20 July, the ship departed for Port Sudan, where she underwent three weeks of emergency repairs to her oil-accelerant apparatus, raising her cruising speed to the required minimum.

In 1939, with the start of the Second World War, Laurentic was requisitioned as HMS Laurentic and converted into an auxiliary cruiser, losing her recasting part of the superstructure aft. On 3 November 1940, the Laurentic responded to a call for help from a ship that had been torpedoed by a U-boat. Arriving at the scene, she was targeted by two torpedoes from U-99 commanded by Otto Kretschmer, however these torpedoes missed, but after four hours, she was struck by a two further torpedoes which sent her to the bottom, killing 49 of 416 people aboard. She was the last White Star vessel to sink and one of the final four White Star vessels along with Georgic, Britannic and Nomadic.

In his first race of the season Merman was defeated into fourth place at Chester Racecourse in the Chester Cup after leading into the straight. In his next start in the Epsom Gold Cup at Epsom Downs Merman faced former Australian horses 1896 VRC Victoria Derby winner Newhaven and 1896 VRC Newmarket Handicap winner Maluma but was not match for winner Bay Ronald finishing fourth. Attempting to repeat the Cesarewitch Stakes victory from a year ago, Merman ran a gallant third to Chaleureux and Herminius. On the second day of the Newmarket Houghton Meeting, Merman was once again beaten into sixth place in the Cambridgeshire Stakes by the former Australian mare Georgic who in 1895 won the AJC All Aged Stakes.

The many-headed serpent enemy shares similarities with Greek mythic creature Hydra, defeated by Heracles as part of his Twelve Labors. An episode of a battle with the dragon also occurs in several fairy tales: The Three Dogs, The Two Brothers, The Merchant (fairy tale), The Bold Knight, the Apples of Youth, and the Water of Life, The Three Princes and their Beasts, The Thirteenth Son of the King of Erin, Georgic and Merlin, the epic feats of Dobrynya Nikitich, the Polish legend of the Wawel Dragon. The motif of the birth of twin boys by eating a magical fish shares similarities with a practice involving flower petals, as seen in the ATU 711, "The Beautiful and the Ugly Twin" (Tatterhood).

General Sir William Slim and the Georgic red- duster.co.uk – Retrieved 26 November 2007 Best's family lived for a short time at the family home, "Ellerslie" in West Derby, until Best's mother fell out with her sister-in-law, Edna, who resented her brother's choice of wife. The family then moved to a small flat on Cases Street, Liverpool, but Mona Best was always looking for a large house—as she had been used to in India—instead of one of the smaller semi-detached houses prevalent in the area. After moving to 17 Queenscourt Road in 1948 where the Bests lived for nine years, Rory Best saw a large Victorian house for sale at 8 Hayman's Green in 1957 and told Mona about it.17 Queenscourt Road , beatlestours.co.

Mauretania advertising postcard, launched by Cunard in 1950 After a complete overhaul and refurbishment of the interior, Mauretania made her first post-war Atlantic crossing to New York City, departing on 26 April 1947. After using Liverpool as her home port for the first two voyages she was thereafter based at Southampton. Here she acted as the relief ship for Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth, standing in on the transatlantic service when one of them was undergoing maintenance. Mauretania arriving New York in the mid-1950s By this time the London to New York service had been discontinued as Georgic, with which she had operated the service was in no fit state to resume passenger duties, while the other partner, Britannic, had been transferred to a new Liverpool to New York service.

Although amoebaean song contests appear in earlier extant pastoral poetry, some scholars have noted that the fact that the song contest is a declared a draw seems to be a novel feature – possibly indicating that Idas and Astacus are intended to be portrayed as ideal singers/poets.Davis, P.J. (1987)Structure and Meaning in the Eclogues of Calpurnius Siculus, Ramus:16 p. 33; Leach (1975) Neronian Pastoral and the World of Power, Ramus 4 pp. 204–230. Karakasis notes that, although Eclogue II is the only poem of Calpurnius that remains faithful to the traditional pastoral song-contest form, it can be construed as a deconstruction of the pastoral canon – citing (among other things) the introduction of characters with names unprecedented in previous pastoral poems and the use of epic, elegiac and georgic allusions, language and imagery.

This was followed by The Triumph of Peace, a Masque occasioned by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1749); his three- canto blank verse georgic on Agriculture (1753), originally intended as part of a longer work to be titled Public Virtue; The Blind Beggar of Bethnal Green (acted at Drury Lane 1739, printed 1741); and an ode, Melpomene (1751). His tragedy of Cleone (1758) had a long run at Covent Garden, 2000 copies being sold on the day of publication, and it passed through four editions within the year. Dodsley also founded several literary periodicals: The Museum (1746–1767, 3 vols.); The Preceptor containing a general course of education (1748, 2 vols.), with an introduction by Dr Johnson; The World (1753–1756, 4 vols.); and The Annual Register, founded in 1758 with Edmund Burke as editor.

In his Notes on Dryden's Virgil, in a Letter to a Friend, with an Essay on the same Poet, London, 1698. In order to demonstrate his own superiority, Milbourne supplemented criticisms by specimens of his own translation of the first and fourth Eclogues and the first Georgic. Dryden complained in the preface to the Fables (1700) that his critic's scurrility was unprovoked. One of Milbourne's avowed reasons for not sparing Dryden was that Dryden had never spared a clergyman. Dryden replied that if he had fallen foul of the priesthood he had only to ask pardon of good priests, and was afraid Milbourne's ‘part of the reparation would come to little.’ ‘I am satisfied,’ he concludes, ‘that while he and I live together I shall not be thought the worst poet of the age.’ The morals of Milbourne, who, according to Dryden, had lost his living for libelling his parishioners, were severely handled in a poem entitled The Pacificator, 1699.

The settlers: Thomas Rose, with his wife and four children, Edward Powell, Thomas Webb, Joseph Webb, and Frederick Meredith. The device and motto of the Great Seal of New South Wales, approved by King George III on 4 August 1790, are instructive of the ideas held by his ministerial advisers regarding the nature and prospects of the colony. The design featured: "Convicts landed at Botany Bay; their Fetters taken off and received by Industry sitting on a Bale of Goods with her Attributes, the Distaff, Bee hive, Pick Axe, and Spade, pointing to Oxen Ploughing, the rising Habitations, and a Church on a Hill at a Distance, with a Fort for their Defence, with the motto: Sic fortis Etruria crevit [Virgil, Georgic II:53, referring to the founding of Rome by a band of robbers]".Robert J. King, "'Etruria': the Great Seal of New South Wales", Journal of the Numismatic Association of Australia, vol.

Beginning in the late 1890s, White Star experienced an explosion of rapid growth and expansion of its services, highlighted by a dramatic shift in focus from building the fastest ships on the North Atlantic to building the most comfortable and luxurious. Their first step in this direction came in 1897 during the construction of a new ship, Cymric. Initially designed as an enlarged version of the livestock carrier Georgic, which had entered service in 1895, Cymric had been planned as a combination passenger and livestock carrier, and thus was not designed with engines necessary to qualify her for the express service maintained by Britannic, Germanic, Teutonic and Majestic. However, while she was under construction at Harland & Wolff, a decision was made to convert spaces aboard her designated for cattle into Third Class accommodations after it was deemed that carrying passengers and livestock aboard the same vessel would not likely prove a popular venture. Therefore, in addition to the accommodations planned for 258 First Class passengers, her designs were altered to include berthing for 1,160 Third Class passengers.

The introduction to The Sugar Cane mentions the exoticism and novelty of his new surroundings as Grainger's main reason for writing his “West-India georgic”, coupled with the example of adaptations of the Classical model to domestic subjects such as John Philips’ Cyder (1708) and John Dyer’s The Fleece (1757) - which Grainger had been among the few to review favourably on its first appearance. Samuel Johnson also recognised the subject’s novelty in his review in the Critical Quarterly: “A new creation is offered, of which an European has scarce any conception: the hurricane, the burning winds, a ripe cane-piece on fire at midnight; an Indian prospect after a finished crop, and nature in all the extremes of tropic exuberance.”Quoted in Gilmore 2000, p.41 Grainger defines the scope of his work in the opening verses: ::What soil the cane affects; what care demands; ::Beneath what signs to plant; what ills await; ::How the hot nectar best to christallize; ::And Afric’s sable progeny to keep: ::A Muse, that long hath wander’d in the groves ::Of myrtle- indolence, attempts to sing.

After several misses, the ship was hit by two bombs; the first one glanced off the side and exploded in the water, causing considerable damage to the ship's hull near the No.4 hold, causing heavy flooding, the second one hit the aft end of the boat deck, penetrated five decks, and exploded in a lift shaft, causing extensive damage to the No.5 hold, this started a fire which ignited fuel oil from ruptured fuel tanks; the fire ignited ammunition stored in the aft holds causing an explosion, which engulfed the entire rear end of the ship in flames. Despite the heavy damage, the ship's engineers were still able to start the engines, and Captain Greig was able to manoeuvre the blazing ship onto a reef in the middle of Suez Bay in order to beach it, so it wouldn't block the busy channel, while doing this Georgic collided with another ship, HMS Glenearn, which resulted in Georgics stem being badly twisted. By this stage the flames had spread to the upper decks. As she started to sink, the order was soon given to abandon ship, and all on board managed to escape via the lifeboats.
