Two or > three years ago I had occasion to read up certain papers about the transport > of cattle and slaughter-houses, and as I read the irresistible conviction > came upon me that I must choose between giving up the eating of animal food > and my peace of mind. These considerations were not the only ones that moved > me. I do not think that anyone has a right to indulge in tastes which oblige > others to follow a brutalizing and degrading occupation.
Power ultimately corrupted this early Green Lantern, as he attempted to rule over mankind, which forced the Guardians to cause his ring to manifest a weakness to wood, the material from which most Earth weapons of the time were fashioned. This allowed the Chinese peasants to ultimately defeat their corrupted "champion". His ring and lantern were burned and it was during this process that the "intelligence" inhabiting the ring and the lantern and linking them to the Guardians was damaged. Over time, when it had occasion to manifest itself, this "intelligence" became known as the mystical 'Starheart' of fable.
Merikanto felt it exceeded "even the boldest expectations," while Evert Katila qualified it as "an absolute masterpiece". Flodin, too, wrote of a symphonic composition "the likes of which we have never had occasion to listen to before". Sibelius spent the summer in Tvärminne near Hanko, where he worked on the song Var det en dröm (Was it a Dream) as well as on a new version of En saga. When it was performed in Berlin with the Berlin Philharmonic in November 1902, it served to firmly establish the composer's reputation in Germany, leading shortly afterwards to the publication of his First Symphony.
In 1928, Devika Rani first met her future husband, Himanshu Rai, an Indian barrister-turned-film maker, who was in London preparing to shoot his forthcoming film A Throw of Dice. Rai was impressed with Devika's "exceptional skills" and invited her to join the production team of the film, although not as an actress. She readily agreed, assisting him in areas such as costume designing and art direction. The two also traveled to Germany for the post- production work, where she had occasion to observe the film-making techniques of the German film industry, specifically of G. W. Pabst and Fritz Lang.
Thus, whilst the law operated in practical terms of legal prosecution, it was also used as a rhetorical device, particularly by Cicero, to criticise the scrutiny of citizenship. These censorial investigations at the time of the Lex Licinia Mucia were widely hated and caused agitation amongst allies. Diodorus Siculus provides an anecdote of such irritation: > “The Marsic leader Pompaedius embarked on a grandiose and fantastic venture. > assembling ten thousand men drawn from the ranks of those who had occasion > to fear judicial investigations, he led them to Rome, with swords concealed > beneath their garb of peace.
In his youth his musical talent and genial wit supplied much innocent gaiety, but the pressure of serious responsibilities and the adoption of a spiritual life somewhat subdued its exercise. His judgment and legal ability were such that advocates of the first rank said that were they to know his view of a case they could tell how it would be decided. When he communicated anything in writing, Pope Gregory used to say he never had occasion to read it more than once. He was selected as interpreter in the interview which the Pope had with the Czar Nicholas I of Russia.
In 1831, the brig Governor Endicott, of Salem, H. H. Jenks, master, was engaged in the pepper trade on the coast of Sumatra when she had occasion to help free Friendship, also of Salem, Charles Endicott, master, from Malay pirates. He and some of his officers had gone ashore to negotiate for pepper in the town of Quallah Battoo when pirates took over the ship, murdered some of her crew and looted the cargo. Captain Endicott obtained aid from Governor Endicott and the ship James Monroe, of New York, J. Porter, master, to rescue his ship from her captors and return her to Salem, where he arrived 16 July 1831.
Over objection, the trial court also allowed in sections of New York's General Business Law, which, as of July 1, 1973, required, on pain of criminal sanctions, that only "safety glazing material" be used in all bathroom enclosures. D's managing agent admitted that, since at least 1965, it was customary for landlords who had occasion to install glass for shower enclosures, to replace the glass with "some material such as plastic or safety glass". P was given the verdict by the jury. The appellate division reversed the decision awarding P damages; D was under no common law duty to replace the glass unless he had prior notice of the danger.
While on the station, he had occasion to act as Flag Captain to the Commander-in-Chief on the station, pay calls on cities as diverse as Halifax, Nova Scotia, Quebec City and Boston while cruising the Eastern Seaboard of North America. During the U.S. blockade of the Mexican port of Tampico in 1924, Dewar and Cape Town cancelled their planned cruise of the Caribbean to adequately represent the British government at Vera Cruz, proceeding there on 4 January. On 15 May 1924, Dewar was relieved in command of Cape Town by Captain G.H. Knowles, DSO. On 2 May 1925, he returned to the Admiralty as Deputy Director of Naval Intelligence.
In 1847 the Astronomical Institution – having run out of money – handed the Royal Observatory over to the Government. Playfair Building and Playfair Monument in 1824 According to the English journalist William Jerdan, naturalist and oceanographer Edward Forbes, F.R.S. and his "The Red Lions", a dining club for younger members of the British Association, (named after the tavern where the first meeting was held), had occasion to run up to the observatory of Calton Hill for astronomical studies. The main purpose of the observatory was a time service. The transits of stars through the meridian were observed and used to keep the observatory clock, a sidereal clock manufactured by Robert Bryson, accurate.
Convinced that he should pursue this new direction, he and Abbé Bravard, an associate from the Cathedral at Sens, with the permission of the bishop, commenced a novitiate with the Marist Fathers at Lyon. However, during his time there Muard had occasion to visit John Vianney, the revered Curé d'Ars, who advised him not to join the Marists, but to return to his diocese and conduct diocesan missions. From there, in June of 1841, he made a pilgrimage to Rome and to seek the approval of Pope Gregory XVI. He founded the French province of the Cassinese Congregation of the Primitive ObservanceCatholic Encyclopedia and the Society of Saint Edmund in 1843.
The grave of Lord Patrick Grant, Greyfriars Kirkyard – containing Lord Monboddo From 1754 until 1767 Monboddo was one of a number of distinguished proprietors of the Canongate Theatre. He clearly enjoyed this endeavour even when some of his fellow judges pointed out that the activity might cast a shadow over his sombre image as jurist. Here he had occasion to further associate with David Hume who was a principal actor in one of the plays. He had actually met Hume earlier when Monboddo was a curator of the Advocates Library and David Hume served as keeper of that library for several years while he wrote his history.
Nicolls recruited the ex-slaves into the new (black) Corps of Colonial Marines. They were well-armed, well-equipped, and underwent drills; many had been in training for months. He also assembled and trained more than five hundred Creek and Seminole Indians by February 1815, but they came from a different culture, did not like being trained, and did not have the incentive of being protected from American re-enslavement. Nicolls found the ex-slaves superior as soldiers, reporting that his black recruits had enlisted "with the strictest good faith and conduct, so much so, that out of 1,500 of them I never had occasion to punish one of them".
Tone cited the examples of the American Congress and French National Assembly where "Catholic and Protestant sit equally" and of the Polish Constitution of May 1791 (also celebrated in Belfast) with its promise of amity between Catholic, Protestant and Jew. If Irish Protestants remained "illiberal" and "blind" to these precedents, Ireland would continue to be governed in the exclusive interests of England and of the landed Ascendancy. On Bastille Day 1792 in Belfast, the United Irishmen had occasion to make their position clear. In a public debate on "An Address to the People of Ireland", William Bruce and others proposed hedging the commitment to an equality of "all sects and denominations of Irishmen".
Thereafter he found employment with the federal government documenting steamboat wrecks that occurred on the Missouri River. Hiram Chittenden, LaBarge's first biographer Captain LaBarge managed to survive most of his associates involved with shipping and trade on the Missouri River, and was often consulted by historians and others who had occasion to recover accounts about people and events involved with the Missouri's early history.Chittenden, 1903, Volumes I, p. 439 In 1896, LaBarge biographer Hiram M. Chittenden, an officer in the Army Corps of Engineers,Caldbick, 2017, Essay decided to publish an account of steamboat wrecks that occurred on the Missouri River in an attempt to determine which types of improvements for navigation were needed.
Puyi had occasion to meet with many Japanese military and civilian leaders during his stay in Tientsin, and his distant relative (and occasional house guest) Yoshiko Kawashima was a close confidant of Doihara. Puyi was receptive to the scheme, which he saw as a potential stepping stone to restoration of his rule over all of China; on the other hand, he feared becoming a pawn of the Japanese, and the dangers to himself should such a plan fail. Doihara was on a tight schedule. For the plan to succeed, it was necessary to land Puyi at Yingkow before that port became frozen; therefore, it was imperative that the operation be brought to a successful conclusion before 16 November 1931.
Pateman, "Introduction," pg. 6. No evidence was located on the premises and there were no arrests made. When radical labor leaders Warren K. Billings and Tom Mooney as well as Mooney's wife Rena Mooney and two others, were arrested for the crime, Berkman again had occasion to take part in a nationwide legal defense effort, cooperating closely with Mooney-Billings Defense Committee principal Robert Minor in the effort. In addition to founding the first local Mooney- Billings defense organization, Berkman travelled the country raising funds and public consciousness in support of the effort and winning the commitment of prominent New York attorney W. Bourke Cockran to work on the case on a pro bono basis.
Continuing instruction, drills, and periods of repair broke the minesweeper's routine. After Trident was assigned to the harbor entrance control post, she had occasion to locate and investigate suspicious small craft—a welcome diversion from the usual inner harbor activities. In June 1942, the 1st Naval District command was incorporated into the Northern Group of the Eastern Sea Frontier, and Trident continued her duties in coastal waters for over three years until 8 August 1945, when she arrived at Charleston, South Carolina, and reported to the Commandant, 6th Naval District, for disposition. She was placed out of service on 16 November 1945 and her name was struck from the Navy list on the 28th.
Steve Yeager got his start as a resident director at the Corner Theatre ETC, an experimental theatre company in Baltimore, Maryland (a branch of Ellen Stewart's New York- based Cafe La Mama ETC), with such productions as Pigeons by Lee Dorsey and Marguerite by C. Richard Gillespie. Yeager also directed an original play entitled Chiaroscuro while working at Corner. It was during this period that Steve Yeager also had occasion to work with two emerging talents of the day: Howard Rollins, in a 1972 production of John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men; and Kathleen Turner, who appeared in Yeager's highly regarded original adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde in 1978. After 1982, Yeager devoted his talents primarily to filmmaking endeavors.
Although Eusebius believed the Apostle wrote the Gospel and the epistles, it is likely that doubt about the fidelity of the author of 2 and 3 John was a factor in causing them to be disputed.Brown, 11–12 By the end of the fourth century the Presbyter (author of 2 and 3 John) was thought to be a different person than the Apostle John. This opinion, although reported by Jerome, was not held by all, as Jerome himself attributed the epistles to John the Apostle.Brooke, lxii; Brown, 12 One factor which helps explain the late attestation of 3 John and the doubts about its authority is the very short nature of the letter; early writers may simply not have had occasion to quote from it.
His first job was to oversee the laying of a road and two bridges, about which he said I then felt how valuable a good training in entomology can be. In Amani he again had occasion to study butterfly migration and in the second year he was able to study a locust invasion which managed to bring trains to a standstill. In 1929 he went home on leave with the intention of returning to East Africa but he accepted the offer of the Steven lectureship in Agricultural and Forest Entomology in the University of Edinburgh. In 1930 he obtained his Sc.D. in 1930 from Cambridge University with a thesis on "Migration of Butterflies" In Africa, Williams met Reginald Ernest Moreau, who was an accountant in Egypt with an interest in birds.
In 1956 Alington left New Zealand, travelling to London, Europe; and on a Fulbright Travelling Scholarship, to Illinois in the United States. During 1956-1957 he worked in the London office of Robert Matthew and Johnson-Marshall on, among other projects, New Zealand House (London, England), and Ruddington Secondary Modern School (Nottingham, England). During this time he and his wife Margaret embarked on a tour of western Europe, fulfilling his desire to see firsthand the large medieval cathedrals, as well as key works of Modernist architecture including Le Corbusier's Ronchamp Chapel and Unité d’Habitation in Marseille. From 1957 to 1959 Alington completed a MArch degree at the University of Illinois’ School of Architecture at Urbana, in the United States, during which time he had occasion to meet with Mies van der Rohe.
In the summer of that year Stebbins had occasion to spend a few days with Moody at his home in Northfield, Massachusetts, and during his visit Moody persuaded him to enter evangelistic work under Moody's direction, which Stebbins did that autumn. Stebbins' first work in this connection was to organize the choir for the meetings which Moody and Sankey were to hold in the great building erected for them in Chicago and which were to continue through October, November, and December. During the remainder of the season Stebbins assisted other evangelists, and in the summer following he became one of the editors of Gospel Hymns and subsequently of the series of hymnbooks used by Moody during the remainder of his life. Afterward Stebbins became the sole editor of Northfield Hymnal.
The partially wrapped body of Yuya The well preserved mummified bodies of Yuya and Tjuyu were found still in their coffins, although both had been disturbed by robbers. Davis was particularly struck by Tjuyu, who was lying covered in fine cloth, with only her head and feet exposed. > I had occasion to sit by her in the tomb for nearly an hour, and having > nothing else to see or do, I studied her face and indulged in speculations > germane to the situation, until her dignity and character so impressed me > that I almost found it necessary to apologize for my presence. The Australian anatomist Grafton Elliot Smith was the first to examine the bodies for Quibell's 1908 publication of the tomb in which he characterizes them both as perfect examples of the embalmer's art.
Following the trial, the trial Judge, Aron Steuer, the son of trial lawyer Max Steuer, wrote Gair the following on March 18, 1953: :My Dear Mr. Gair, :In the course of over twenty-three years on the bench I have had occasion to listen to some thousands of summations. I have never heard one which was the equal of your effort made yesterday, March 17, 1953, in the action of Froman and Markoff against Pan American Lines. For cogency of argument, selection of material form the record, manner of presentation and delivery, in fact from every standpoint it was masterly. Do not infer from this that I find that any part of the presentation of the case was less than what it ought have been, but only that the summation was so outstanding that I cannot forbear declaring my admiration.
Having lately had occasion to require an axle for the appliance belonging to the landlord under my charge which is called by the name of Gedius Anianus and supplies water to arable land, I went up to the city and asked your magnificence to order the axle to be provided for me. Whereupon your magnificence with due regard for the state of your property credited me in my accounts with the value of a new, proper, serviceable, and satisfactory axle, which I have received as the complement of all the machinery this fifteenth day of Tybi of the present second indiction for the water supply of the crops of the third indiction by God's help approaching. This axle is to serve the purposes of irrigation for a term of seven years, and the old one has been given to the porter.
Diagram of the Perak Menteri Besar Case. In 2009, the Federal Court had occasion to consider the application of this provision in the Perak State Constitution when the ruling coalition of the state (Pakatan Rakyat) lost the majority of the Perak Legislative Assembly due to floor crossings by several of their members to the opposition coalition (Barisan Nasional). Controversy arose in that incident because the then incumbent Menteri Besar was replaced by the Sultan with a member from Barisan Nasional without there having been a vote of no-confidence on the floor of the State Assembly against the then incumbent Menteri Besar, after he had unsuccessfully sought for the dissolution of the State Assembly. As noted above, the Sultan has complete discretion to decide whether or not to consent to the request to dissolve the assembly.
In 1996 Gibson published a detailed analysis of Peter Bruegel’s 124 x 170 cm, 500-character painting, “The Way to Calvary” (Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna) under the title "Le Portement de croix de Pierre Bruegel l'Aîné" (Noêsis, Paris). He translated the book into English and it was published under the title "The Mill and the Cross" in 2001 (Acatlos, Lausanne). The New York Times called it "as readable and riveting as a first-rate spy-thriller." In January 2011, Lech Majewski’s feature-length eponymous film (with Charlotte Rampling, Michael York and Rutger Hauer) was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, in Utah. The film is a narrative recreation of Bruegel’s painting which (according to Gibson) evokes the sort of scene that Bruegel himself too often had occasion to witness: the execution of a Flemish Protestant by the militia of the King of Spain.
Livestock became a sign of progress: peasants, less dependent and more prosperous, became able to buy draft animals, and even plows. The peasants who had their own plow and one or two draft animals were a small elite, pampered by the feudal lord, who acquired a distinct status, that of yeoman farmers, quite distinct from farm-hand labourer whose only tool was their own arms.. The existence of draft animals does not imply the diffusion of the threshing board in Western Europe, where the flail continued to be the preferred threshing implement.The threshing board, as we have had occasion to repeat throughout this article, was expensive, as were the conditions of its use, only the wealthy laborers and the nobility could afford a threshing board and a plow. Its use was, perhaps, another lordly ban, and thus a mark of a bondage.
Meanwhile, under Loblaw president Richard Currie, the company's retail food operations continued to expand under a variety of regional banners that included Loblaws, no frills, Zehrs and Fortinos in Ontario, the Real Canadian Superstore in Northern Ontario and Western Canada, and the Real Atlantic Superstore and SuperValu in Atlantic Canada. In particular, Dominion Stores Limited, Loblaw's lead competitor in Ontario, had failed to keep up with the times and the rival chain finally sold off its better stores and shuttered the rest. By the mid 1980s, with a 14 percent share of the $35 billion supermarket business in Canada and 41 consecutive quarters of higher earnings, Loblaw Companies had gone "from a sorry loser without a future into Canada's largest and perhaps most thriving food distributor". Nevertheless, Loblaw still had occasion to stumble, at times badly.
A far more elaborate work was the history of Philip's reign (360–336 BC), with digressions on the names and customs of the various races and countries of which he had occasion to speak, which were so numerous that Philip V of Macedon reduced the bulk of the history from 58 to 16 books by cutting out those parts which had no connection with Macedonia. It was from this history that Trogus Pompeius (of whose Historiae Philippicae we possess the epitome by Justin) derived much of his material. Fifty-three books were extant in the time of Photius (9th century), who read them, and has left us an epitome of the 12th book. Several fragments, chiefly anecdotes and strictures of various kinds upon the character of nations and individuals, are preserved by Athenaeus, Plutarch and others.
He then reviewed the leadings cases, including Harding v Wealands [2006] 2 AC 1 and Boys v Chaplin [1971] AC 356 and approved the test set out by Lord Hoffman in the earlier case to the effect that: > In applying this distinction to actions in tort, the courts have > distinguished between the kind of damage which constitutes an actionable > injury and the assessment of compensation (ie damages) for the injury which > has been held to be actionable. The identification of actionable damage is > an integral part of the rules which determine liability. As I have > previously had occasion to say, it makes no sense simply to say that someone > is liable in tort. He must be liable for something and the rules which > determine what he is liable for are inseparable from the rules which > determine the conduct which gives rise to liability.
As we have already had occasion to note, the italofobe directives of the Habsburg imperial government promoted a series repressive and discriminatory measures to the detriment of the Italian Trieste. However, they contributed in important ways to the spread of irredentist ideas within the Italian community who felt increasingly threatened in its very existence by the joint action of the Austrian Government and the local Slavic nationalists, among them allies in the anti- Italian function. Trieste was, with Trento, object and at the same time the center of irredentism, movement that, in the last decades of the nineteenth century and early twentieth aspired to an annexation of the city to Italy. To irredentism Trieste food were mostly bourgeois rising classes (including the wealthy Jewish colony), whose potential and political aspirations could not find full satisfaction in the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
258-259 Two iron and copper-alloy scale horse armours, usually called 'trappers' or 'bards', still attached to fabric backings were discovered in a 3rd-century context at Dura Europos.Bishop and Coulston, p. 55 One of the best descriptions of these cavalry to survive, was made by the Late Roman historian Ammianus Marcellinus: “...among these were scattered cavalry with cuirasses (cataphracti equites), whom they call clibanarii, masked, protected by coverings of iron breast-plates, and girdled with belts of iron, so that you would fancy them statues polished by the hand of Praxiteles, rather than men. And the light circular plates of iron which surrounded their bodies, and covered all their limbs, were so well fitted to all their motions, that in whatever direction they had occasion to move, the joints of their iron clothing adapted themselves equally to any position.” Ammianus (16.10.
Cranston became proficient as a medical practitioner during his early life, and was recognized for his skills by the General Assembly. On 1 March 1664, the Assembly wrote, "Whereas the court have taken notice of the great blessing of God on the good endeavours of Captain John Cranston, of Newport, both in physic and chirurgery [surgery], to the great comfort of such as have had occasion to improve his skill and practice." It was therefore unanimously enacted in March 1663/4 that he should be licensed "to administer physic, and practice chirurgery throughout this whole colony, and is by the court styled and recorded Doctor of Physic and Chirurgery." Cranston was deputy to the General Assembly each year from 1664 to 1668, was a governor's assistant from 1668 to 1672, and then in 1672 was elected as deputy governor of the colony for a year.
These two were well known as excellent marksmen and were avid hunters, but neither had occasion to use those skills whilst in office. (No 19th century sheriff in Lincoln County killed anyone in the course of their duties.) Most of the county sheriffs were not even professional law enforcement officers, but were ordinary citizens who were elected to office with little experience of law enforcement at all. The electorate seemed to choose men who were known and trusted by the community, with long histories and ties to it, rather than people who were handy with firearms. David Baker and Tim Keliher were professional law enforcers, as mentioned. So also was sheriff William Woodhust, elected in 1872 (and who resigned the office in 1873 to become warden of Nebraska State Penitentiary), who had been deputy sheriff under the county's first two sheriffs, O. O. Austin and Nathan Russell.
On more than one occasion, Marinduque had occasion to assist mariners in distress. On 21 October 1916, she came to the aid the schooner Florence, which was in distress with her sails blown away, part of her rigging gone, and her food and water low; Marinduque towed Florence to Coron on Palawan and then took Florences captain from Coron to Manila on Luzon. On 7 July 1927, she helped the British steamer Paipeng, which was aground on Cap Island in the Philippines; Marinduque took off the majority of Paipengs passengers and transported them to Jolo. The ship was transferred to the Insular Bureau of Labor March 19, 1918 and alterations made for use as an inter-island cargo ship with its condition on return to the Coast and Geodetic Survey July 7, 1919 requiring work restoring the ship to seaworthy condition and suitability for surveys until September 26, 1919.
Benjamin Baxter's account of the events, found in Clara Waldron's One Hundred Years, a Country Town, states that Fletcher was: > a genial gentleman not suffering apparently from his term of incarceration, > but sometimes subjecting us to the inconvenience of hunting him up when we > had occasion to use the jail for some counterfeiter or horse thief, as he > was likely to be found out riding with one of the sheriff's lovely > daughters, having taken the jail keys with him. Later in 1835 General Brown would lead a large group of soldiers to Toledo to protect the rights of the Territory of Michigan. In his memoirs, also quoted in Clara Waldron's book, Dr. M. A. Patterson says of Brown: > As a commander of the Michigan forces in the Black Hawk War, he had > acquitted himself to the entire satisfaction of the territorial and national > authorities.
Ibn Abi Dhiaf, op. cit., p. 108 King Louis Philippe received Ahmad Bey with great ceremony.Ibn Abi Dhiaf, op. cit., pp. 120-121 This visit confirmed the Bey's wish to modernise his country by learning from Europe. An 1897 article in La Revue tunisienne described it effect on his plans: > 'Among all the marvels he had occasion to admire, he was most particularly > struck by the ingenious applications of industrial engineering; he conceived > at that time the noble project of pulling native industry out of the routine > into which it had fallen by encouraging it to embark on the road to progress > and of endowing his country with modern industry, equipped with the means of > production, of which the economic benefits had been revealed to him.'Lilia > Ben Salem, « Les ingénieurs en Tunisie aux XIXe et XXe siècles », Revue du > monde musulman et de la Méditerranée, vol.
His daughter's account leaves little doubt that Christison greatly admired the Yirandhali, whose peaceful character, loyalty to their overlord, and humanity to the old moved him deeply. Beddoe asserted that they were unusually susceptible to the effects of thirst. Marie Bennett is skeptical of the claim, stating that her father always admired their powers of endurance under harsh conditions. With regard to the elderly, citing several cases of deep care he had had occasion to observe: a girl crippled from birth was seen, then aged 60, being born by groups of the tribe, taking turns, on a litter; another 'a fragile useless old woman,' was on the point of drowning, when she was saved by several men plunging into a swollen river, or a mother watching over her sick child for several days while abstaining from food and drink, and refusing any consolation when it died.
Shapira's description of the discovery of the scroll is contained within a handwritten letter from Shapira to Professor Hermann Strack of Berlin on 9 May 1883: > I am going to surprise you with a notice and a short description of a > curious manuscript written in old Hebrew or Phoenician letters upon small > strips of embalmed leather and seems [sic] to be a short unorthodoxical > [sic] book of the last speech of Moses in the plain of Moab ... In July 1878 > I met several Bedouins in the house of the well-known Sheque Mahmud el > Arakat, we came of course to speak of old inscriptions. One Bedouin asserted > that the antique brings blessedness to the place where it lays. And begins > to tell a history to about [sic] the following effect. Several years ago > some Arabs had occasion to flee from their enemies & hid themselves in caves > high up in a rock facing the Moujib (the neues Arnon [sic]) they discovered > there several bundles of very old rugs.
During her Coast and Geodetic Survey career, Surveyor had occasion to assist mariners in distress. After the 153 survivors of the passenger steamer – which had struck a rock and sunk with the loss of one crewman off the south end of Amook Island () in Uyak Bay () on the coast of Kodiak Island in the Kodiak Archipelago on 26 May 1929 – reached Larsen Bay on Kodiak Island aboard a small motorboat and a cannery tender, Surveyor picked them up at Larsen Bay and transported them to Seward in Southcentral Alaska.alaskashipwreck.com Alaska Shipwrecks (A)NOAA History, A Science Odyssey: Hall of Honor: Lifesaving and Protection of Property by the Coast and Geodetic Survey 1845-1937 On 7 September 1929, she rendered assistance to survivors of the steamer Golden Forest, which was wrecked on Cape Ilktugitak; she located the wreck using radio compass bearings and took aboard two men from Golden Forest for medical treatment. On 31 July 1934, she assisted the steamer , which had grounded off Cape Mordvinof, Alaska.
A perusal of his journal in the light of the best modern charts and sailing directions for these parts serves to show that he finally anchored in a small but secure harbour on the west side of what is now known as Porsanger Fjord, probably Saernoes Pollen, where he, by stress of weather, was forced to winter. It was during this period, under most difficult and trying circumstances, that his once famous journal was written, which is a faithful record of the daily experiences and trials of himself and his hardy crew. Such was the intense cold on 1 February 1698, that, in order to write his journal, ‘a boy had to thaw the ink as oft as he had occasion to dip his pen.’ The writer appears to have been not only a thorough seaman, well experienced in northern navigation, but also one well able to command the respect of his men by his unswerving adherence to daily work and discipline during a period of nearly five months' apparently enforced idleness.
While he was at Poona for education and even during the long period he worked there as Honorary bench magistrate, he had occasion to be associated with the high officials and the leading and liberal- minded statesman of Poona, all of whom were ever pleased with the nobility and the affability of his mind and heart. The modesty and the gentility of his disposition and behavior had always won for him the good opinions of the successive Governors of Bombay, the commissioners and the Political agents. Mr. W. D. Sheppard the political agent and the Collector of Poona wrote a letter addressing Shrimant Babasaheb to his father His Highness Shankarrao Raosaheb: Raja Ragunathrao received two coronation medals as Yuvaraja, the first at the time of Coronation Darbar of King Edward VII in 1903 and the second at the time of coronation darbar of Imperial King George V in 1911. In June 1903 Shrimant Babasaheb was honoured with a Silver Medal at the hands of Lord Northcote, the then Governor of Bombay.
To this was later added responsibility in the field of lay training. He became Director of Training within the Diocese of Wakefield. During this time Smith continued to exercise responsibilities as examiner in Christian Doctrine for the General Ordination Examinations of the Church of England, and was an inspector (later Senior Inspector) of the church's Theological Colleges and Courses. In 1985 he was elected to the General Synod of the Church of England, by the clergy of Wakefield Diocese. In 1987 Smith was appointed Archdeacon of Craven in the Diocese of Bradford, and in 1993 was elected Bishop of Tonbridge in the Diocese of Rochester. He was translated to the episcopal see of Edinburgh, in the Scottish Episcopal Church, in 2001. He retired as Bishop of Edinburgh on 15 August 2011. During his ministry Smith had occasion to pay several visits to Africa (Ghana, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, Swaziland, S Africa, Botswana) and was instrumental in establishing a link between the Diocese of Edinburgh, and the Diocese of Cape Coast in Ghana.
