Surrey Union Hunt - Point-to-Point Races at Holmwood
The popularity of the Surrey Union Fox Hunt was shown in the very large attendance at the point-to-point races at Holmwood on Saturday. The weather was not altogether unfavourable; it was certainly bleak and cold, and slight falls of snow were anything but pleasant, but these inconveniences were, to some extent, made amends for by intermittent spells of sunshine.

As usual excellent arrangements had been made, and a capital course of nearly three and a half miles had been mapped out over the Redlands and Holmwood Farms. There were a large number of jumps, none of them of very serious difficulty, and although there were a fair number of spills, no serious mishap has, happily, to be recorded.

The stewards were: Mr.A.W.Aston, Mr.R.C.Barclay, Mr.F.G.Colman, Mr.F.L.Crow, Mr.N.C.Colman, Mr.H.H.Gordon Clark, Mr.J.Barnard Hankey, Mr.C.Heath, Mr.Walter Jay, Mr.H.C.Lee Steere, M.S.H., Mr.G.H.Longman, Sir F.J.Mirrieless K.C.M.G., Mr.F.Murray M.F.H., Dr.Napper, - - -

The programme comprised four events, and resulted as follows:-
Heavy-Weight, for Hunters which have never won any race (point-to-point races excepted), the property of members or covet-owners of the Hunt, and regularly hunted with the Surrey Union during the past season.

Truth

Insurance - Pluvius Policy Gambles.
Much amusement and some regret have been felt concerning an extraordinary boom by the Times of a relatively new system of betting. On Tuesday of last week there was a special article running to a column and a half; on the Wednesday there was nearly half a column of further detail, and on Thursday there was a leading article. The new subject for gambling is grandiloquently called "Insurance Against Rain Ricks;" it was sub-headed "A Remarkable Scheme."

The married man who experiences a wet holiday and obtains compensation from the bookmakers - I beg their pardon, the underwriters - will be able to send his family away for another holiday; or, "if he be merely a bachelor, the money perhaps might go in golfing week-ends." - - -

The betting system is to be carried out by a number of gentlemen named Heath, who are the people chiefly concerned in the Excess Insurance Company Limited, by which the Pluvius policies are to be issued. Mr. Cuthbert Eden Heath (underwriter) hold 10,000 shares in his own name, and is joint-holder with others of a further 30,000 shares.

Mr.George Heath (underwriter) hold 860 shares in his own name, and is joint holder of 20,000 more shares. Both these gentlemen are directors of the company, whose capital is returned at £50,000 in £1 shares fully paid up.

Colonel F.C.Heath, Colonel Gerard M. Heath and Captain Lionel H.Heath each hold 1,000 shares; from all of which it is evident that the Messrs.Heath are of opinion that it is likely to be a profitable business to act as bookmakers for the purpose of laying the odds about the weather.

The curious and regrettable feature about the whole matter is that the Times should have gone so extensively out of its way to call attention to a so-called system of insurance, which in reality has nothing whatever to do with insurance. It is said that these policies can be obtained through any underwriter at Lloyds, and if this statement is correct it is not to the credit of the members of that institution, nor should I imagine they could afford at the present juncture to associate themselves as a whole with so fantastic and ridiculous a scheme.

"Rest of Lloyd's" Scored Freely
In aid of the Royal Alfred Aged Merchant Seamen's Institute a Rugby football match was played on the ground at the Twickenham Club yesterday between C.E.Heath's Syndicate Firms and the rest of Lloyd's.

The match was under the patronage of Mr.Raymond Beck, the chairman of Lloyd's, and many leading underwriters.

It proved an attraction and the many spectators were rewarded with a game that was always as keen as it was vigorous. The Rest of Lloyd's gained an easy victory by 2 goals, 3 tries,(19 points) to 0.

In the first half Heath's, aided by the strong wind, did most of the pressing, and were unlucky not to score. Before the whistle sounded for half-time G.Holmwood scored for the Rest, L.French failing to convert from a difficult angle.

After change of ends the Rest did practically all the attacking, W.Basell scored a clever try, grounding the ball between the posts, but N.Lambert missed and failed to convert. B.B.Benon (two) and E.H.K. Fryer added further tries, two of which were converted by Lambert.

A Loss to Talke

Death of Miss Rosamond Marsh-Caldwell of Linley Hall

Deep regret has been caused in Talke and district at the death of Miss Rosamond Marsh-Caldwell, which occurred at her residence, Linley Hall, on Sunday evening.

The deceased had been in a delicate state of health for some time, and recently passed through a severe illness from which she so far recovered as to be able to again attend church. On Sunday previous to her death the lady was present at the morning serice at Talke parish church. On the following Tuesday she a grew worse, and passed peacefully away at about 6.30pm on Sunday.

The deceased was in her 88th year, and her surviving sister, MIss L. Marsh-Caldwell is 93 years of age. The deceased and her sister took the deepest interest in the affairs of the local churches and parish. They were largely responsible for the erection of St.Saviour's church at talke.

The deceased had been a member of the Female Lodge of the Talke Ancient Order of Shepherds since its formation, and at each anniversary celebration the members were entertained to lunch at Linley Hall, and given a donation towards the funds of the society.
Each year the Church Sunday School scholars were enteratined to a treat in the grounds at the hall. Teachers, sidesmen and members of the choirs were also entertained annually.

Much sympathy is expressed with Miss L. Marsh-Caldwell in her bereavement.

Glamorgan Fortress R.E. - Inspection by Brigadier Heath
Brigadier-General F.C. Heath R.E., C.B., Inspector-General of the Royal Engineers, visited Cardiff yesterday to inspect the headquarters and men of the Glamorgan Fortress Royal Engineers.

With Major W.H.D.Caple, the O.C., the Inspector visited the Cardiff headquarters with the electric light installation. He then proceeded to view the new headquarters site, and subsequently at the Cardiff Arms Park saw the bridge erected by the Engineers during the evening drills.

From here he journeyed to Barry by motor and inspected the Barry headquarters, the training ground on the island, and the suspension bridge, trenches, wire entanglements and other defence works erected there by the Barry Company.

Crewe Engineers' Camp - The Inspection
The inspection of the corps by General Heath on Thursday was not on the usual lines, viz., in full dress &c. The whole proceedings were of a more practical nature, the General going over the whole of the work performed during the week by the men and seeing for himself that all ranks took an intelligent interest in their respective tasks.

He was greatly interested and evidently pleased with the workmanlike manner in which the demolished line of railway and bridge was reconstructed and the overturned trucks lifted again into position, and a good report is confidently expected. He had a number of interesting conversations with the men whilst at work as to their respective occupations throughout the year, whilst not performing military duty.

The amount of work done this year is distinctly creditable to the men, and the officers are to be complimented upon their perspicacity in so accurately gauging the feelings of the men by allowing them to finish their respective tasks, instead of changing the companies daily from one job to another. It gave the men the necessary incentive to make a good show and they responded most heartily. The length of railway and coal stages put down by C and D Companies are of a permanent character and the Inspecting Officer seemed very much pleased with the work done. - - -

The New Water Scheme - The Word to be Commenced.
Correspondence between Mr.G.H.B.Soane, water engineer, and Mr.John Loring, of Doddington was read as to the acquisition of land for the proposed new waterworks.

On June 30th Mr.Loring wrote to Mr.Soame:- "Referring to our interview at Linley Wood yesterday, I am prepared to offer the Alsager District Council on behalf of Miss Marsh-Caldwell the following terms, subject to the consent of the trustees for the sale of the land and which consent I have no doubt about getting: The Alsager District Council to bore or sink for water on the site pointed out to me on the Oak Farm, they paying compensation to the tenant for any damage done in so doing, and to pay to Miss Marsh-Caldwell the sum of £10 as a consideration for the permission to bore and sink as above. If a sufficient supply of water is not found by boring or sinking the District Council to reinstate the land and put it in as good a condition as they found it, any such land not reinstated within three months after abandoned the work to be paid for at the rate of £100 per acre. If a sufficient supply of water is found, the District Council to purchase a plot at the site of the boring, and also a site on the west side of the lane leading from Talke to Alsager, adjoining the hill known as Prospect Bank, the whole being about one and three quarter acres. The price to be paid by the Alsager District Council to be at the rate of £100 an acre. The Alsager District Council to supply the Oak Farm, Bank Farm, a small farm occupied by John Barker and three cottages with water free of cost, and for this purpose to put in a pipe three quarter inch in diameter, with at least one tap from their main to a suitable place in each of the above houses."

In answer to this letter Mr.Soame wrote on July 3rd: "As I stated at the time of our interview that I thought the price of £100 per acre was somewhat high, considering the advantages of a proposed free supply of water of 200 gallons per day to each of three farms and 50 gallons to each of three cottages, besides a certain protection against fire - it occurs to me that on further consideration you may be able to see you way to accept £100 for the two pieces of land (if the scheme proves successful) and thus get the matter through at once on my recommendations."

Mr.Loring replied: - "I cannot see my way to reduce the price that I mentioned to you, as considering the price that has been paid by other local authorities for the same sort of sites, I do not think that I am asking too high a price."

The Chairman proposed that Mr.Soame be instructed to get on with the matter as soon as possible. The terms seemed fair and below what they would have been years ago. The terms mentioned some years ago were £700, so that £175 was in his opinion most reasonable.

Mr.Cotton said he should move that the offer be not accepted and that matters remained as they were. If they were going on with it he would face the lot of them with it, either singly or altogether. In regard to the free supply of the farms &c., mentioned, he would tell them that 200 gallons per day for a farmhouse was a mere fleabite. Each farm would use above 500 gallons a day.

The Chairman observed that Mr.Cotton was getting a bit off. The quantity for each farm was stipulated.

Mr.Holland also raised objection.

The Clerk asked if it would meet the case if they approved it subject to the supply being limited, and that all above that quantity should be charged for.

Mr.Cotton's amendment was seconded by Mr.Kirkham, and supported by Mr.Holland, and only those three gentlemen voted for it.

Mr.Cotton - If the scheme goes on we will have a ratepayers' meeting.

Mr.Cowden - I should have one on my own, Mr.Cotton (Laughter.)

The motion for proceeding with the scheme subject to the free supplies to the farms and houses being limited as suggested, was carried.

"That the Surveyor be instructed to get out the cost of a four-inch main from pumping station to reservoir; also the cost for a plant for the softening of water at the present waterworks."

Mr.Kirkham seconded, and Mr.Holland supported, but the resolution was voted against by the remainder of the Council.

Return of Crewe Railway Engineers from Camp
The 2nd Cheshire Royal Engineers (Railway Battalion), having spent a week under canvas at Longmoor, Hants, returned to Crewe on Saturday, having had a very pleasant and successful time. In last week's issue we gave an outline of the work done by the Engineers.

The battalion was inspected on Thursday by General Heath, who paid special attention to the railway engineering work which had been carried out by the men, and also elicited from them in conversations the character of the work which they do in their civilian employment in Crewe works. Some of the operations executed at the came, namely, the lengths of railway and coal stages did not require demolition, being of a useful character for the Royal Engineer railway force. All who had the opportunity of watching the men at their work and examining it afterwards expressed high opinions of it, as well as of the smartness of the men, and both officers and men were complimented.

The weather during the week was splendid, and the camp being pitched on high ground was most beautiful. - - -

Royalty at Denbies
Garden Party by the Lord-Lieutenant and the Hon.Mrs.Cubitt
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Albany honoured the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey and the Hon.Mrs.Cubitt by her presence at a garden party at Denbies on Tuesday. The function was favoured with delightful weather, and proved in every respect most enjoyable and successful. Her Royal Highness, who was attended by Lady Katherine Meade and Capt.Seymour, motored from Claremont, Esher, reaching and returning from Denbies by the Burford carriage drive. Nearly 700 invitations had been sent out and the acceptances were very numerous, the large and distinguished company including prominent residents from all parts of the county who are associated with its public and social life.

The guests, who commenced to arrive at 3.45, were received by Mrs.Cubitt, whose place, after the arrival of Her Royal Highness, was taken by the Hon.Mrs.Chichester. The lovely weather enabled the company to enjoy the beauties of the picturesque grounds to their fullest extent. The lawns and well-laid-out flower gardens are now at their best, and it is difficult to realise anything more pleasant than a stroll through such a paradise, and to gaze on the vast expanse of country to be seen on all sides for in this respect Denbies enjoys advantages which may be equalled but certainly not excelled by any of the other stately homes of the county.

Tea was served in a marquee on the upper terrace, as well as in the glass corridor, and music was supplied by the splendid bands of the Royal Regiment of Artillery and the 3rd Batt.The Queen's., the former on the house terrace, and the latter on the upper tennis lawn. The Lord Lieutenant's flag floated from the mansion; incidentally it may be mentioned that it is only different from the Union Jack in this respect, that it bears the crown and the sword, signifying that the Lord Lieutenant is the representative of the King and President of the Territorial Forces.

The Tented Fields - Camp Life on Ayrshire Coast. Leaving Glasgow

In addition to the great rush of holiday-makers on Saturday, railway officials at St.Enoch Station had to cope with a great exodus of Territorials. A start was made with the great concentration of Territorials from all parts of Scotland on Ayrshire, and about 8000 men from Glasgow alone left the city. The contingent included battalions of infantry, artillery, yeomanry, engineers, and other units, but so admirable were the arrangements of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway Company that this heavy traffic was handled without accident, and without undue delay. - - -

Amongst the distinguished visitors, who were expected to visit the camp this week, was General French: but it seems that the General's visit to Scotland has been postponed. Today Inspector-General Heath, R.E., is to arrive at Gailes.

Camp Life - Interesting Details of the Work at Gailes
The present camp is the finest ever seen on the old ground at Gailes. This is greatly attributed to the appearance of Engineers and Artillery for the first time joining hands there in what has hitherto been known as a purely infantry camping ground.

The greatest possible interest is being taken in the work of the three telegraph companies of the Royal Engineers, who, during the past two days, have been unfolding the secrets of the wireless, cable, and airline work. On Monday the latter company connected up by telephone the camp at Wallacefield and the General's headquarters at Troon; and yesterday they completed a telephone connection with Rosemount Camp, the work of which was started the day before. A telephone exchange has also been erected at Wallacefield Camp, with the result that the General has been connected up with all three camps.

The Cable Company yesterday were on the roads with the long coils, laying cables all round the district, while the Wireless Company caused great interest and speculation in erecting their aerials, which, of course, must be put in position before they can test their apparatus. All this work is being gone through in view of the big manoeuvres next week.

Brigadier-General Heath's report of his inspection of the Royal Engineers in camp on Monday has caused great satisfaction. The officer commanding states that the inspecting officer was extremely well pleased with all he saw. The appearance of the men and the methodical way in which the work was carried out had impressed him with the feeling that the whole tone of the camp was equal to that of the Royal Engineers of the regular army.

Territorial Camps.
Gailes
On Saturday morning practically all the canvas in the big camping area at Gailes was pitched, and everything was in readiness for the reception of the main bodies of the regiments well in advance of the hours at which they were due. The weather, which had the appearance of breaking down on the previous evening, cleared at an early hour.

The first of the main bodies to detrain was the 7th Scottish Rifles, which arrived by special train at 7.25a.m. They were followed about half an hour later by the 8th Scottish Rifles. Several hours elapsed before the arrival of the next contingent, but in the afternoon the remainder of the regiments poured in at fairly regular intervals till 6 o'clock.

Of the parties which came down by road the first to arrive at Gailes was the wireless company of the Glasgow Corps Royal Engineers. This company left its headquarters near Kelvinbridge at a quarter to 12 on the previous night under Major Ogilvie, Captain Murdoch, and Sergeant-Major Mart. Halts were made for refreshments at various points, including Hawkhead and Lugton, and the remainder of the march was accomplished with only one halt, and the camp reached at 11 o'clock in the forenoon. - - -

Sir John French, Inspector General had cancelled his proposed visit to Scotland, and will therefore be unable to carry out his anticipated inspection of the camp. Brigadier-General F.C. Heath will, however, visit the camp and inspect the Engineer's detachment. - - -

The Lowland Divisional Engineers made a start with their bridge-building work on the Garnock at a point between Irvine and Kilwinning. In connection with this work a competition has been arranged, and is open to sections from each unit. The work of the remaining men of this regiment consisted of erecting signalling towers &c. and carrying out operations at the Ayreshire Rifle Association's range at Irvine.

Following the arrival of the men of the 7th and 8th S.R. by special train at Gailes on Saturday morning there was a gap of several hours before the trek of Territorials into the big camp-field at Gailes was resumed. - - -

An approximate estimate of the strength of the camps was returned at 5250, of which the Scottish Rifle Brigade muster 3000; the 3rd and 4th Lowland Brigades Royal Field Artillery, 850; Glasgow Group and Lowland Division of Royal Engineers, 900; field ambulances of Royal Army Medical Corps, about 500.

On Monday the camp of the Royal Engineers was visited by General Heath, Inspector-General of the R.E., who witnessed the men at their varied duties. Despite the somewhat unfavourable weather conditions, there was a large attendance of holiday visitors who flocked into camp by road from Irvine and Troon, and also by train from the city. Particularly this was the case in the afternoon and evening, when the bands came out and helped considerably to the entertainment.

Writers a Hundred Years Ago.

"The women who wrote in the early part of the 19th century enjoyed a popularity as great at the women writers of today, and do not seem to have been less numerous.

Mrs Meeke, who died in 1916, was one of Macaulay's favourite writers of fiction. Harriet and Sophia Lee, two sisters, who, in spite of the duties involved in keeping a girls' school; found time to write novels and plays, continued long after their death (in 1824 and 1851 respectively) to please the reader, and Anne Marsh-Caldwell maintained for twenty-six years - from 1834 to 1860 - the position of one of our most admired novelists. Her husband, who was a bank director, became bankrupt, and she then gained a livelihood by her pen. - - - -

On Wednesday last General Heath, Inspector-General , Royal Engineers, witnessed pontoon bridging over a width of water of 330 feet. The bridge was entirely constructed in 55 minutes, and subsequently dismantled and all equipment placed on shore in 25 minutes.

The same night bridge construction was carried out in the dark, without lights and in silence. This work proved a great test, the entire work of construction and dismantling occupying about 1 3/4 hours. The bridge itself is the width mentioned above, took 65 minutes to complete, and may be regarded as a very creditable piece of work.

Correspondence
Talke Earthworks &c.
Am I correct in saying that the entrenchments on the hill at Talke, mentioned in the notes of Sept.2. are those mentioned in the "Victoria History of Staffordshire" as being at Linley Wood, in the parish of Audley?

I know an ancient entrenchment in this district, in the parish of Lawton, Cheshire, situated west to northwest of Linley Hall; also another on the Foxholes Farm, parish of Audley. Are these the only ones?

The Rev.T.Barns has referred to St.Martin's Church in his papers in the North Staffordshire Field Club reports. This church is first mentioned in an inventory taken of its contents at the Reformation, by the Commissioners of Edward VI., in 1553. It appears on Saxton's map (1577), and on Dr.Plot's in the "Gentlemen's Magazine" for 1813.

Mr.Snape states that an inscription appears on the east wall setting forth the church as having been built about 1740. No inscription is found now. Is this a new church upon a new site? The present edifice is built of bricks, probably of the eighteenth century. Was the old church built of stone? I think so; but where are the remains? And was there a burial-place?
The present one only dates from the middle of the nineteenth century. The old cross is of (Midstone?) quarried at Mow Cop and beyond doubt erected in 1253.

Truth

It is somewhat of a coincidence that in one batch of flag promotions last week should have been included two officers of the very small band of survivors from the Victoria disaster. Vice-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe and Rear-Admiral Herbert Heath were both serving as lieutenants in the Mediterranean flagship when she was sunk by the Camperdown with the loss of 21 officers and 350 men on June 27 1893

Wednesday 4 October 1911
Truth

The activity of certain underwriters at Lloyd's in connection with developments which in their own interests it would be wiser to leave alone, is outlined by the following extract from the New York Journal of Commerce:-

A plan to launch a Lloyd's in New York City having a large number of Lloyd's underwriters as its underwriting members is being pushed by Willicox, Peck and Hughes of New York, and John C. Eustace of that office is dealing with the matter here. The scheme contemplates about 200 names, the Lloyd's syndicates signed for by C.E.Heath being prominently named in connection with the plan. One of the Lloyd's "charter" or franchises owned by Wilcox, Peck and Hughes would be used as the basis for the institution, which would thus become a New York concern and escape the restrictions imposed upon non-admitted insurance. Such a Lloyd's, adds the journal quoted, would write a line of probably about $200,000, and unless adhering to tariff rates might prove a very disturbing factor in the fire insurance market

Mr.C.E.Heath was closely connected with an absurd system of betting on the weather, under the title of "Pluvius" policies. For the credit of Lloyd's it is to be hoped that the committee has no control over the class of risks taken by underwriters, though it might be a good thing if the committee had such control.

Life in the Navy
Col.Tufnell is the senior surviving representative of the family of that name which moved from the North into Essex in 1686. Choosing the Navy for a career, he had many and varied experience in different parts of the world. Joining as cadet in 1852, he was appointed to the Britannia (120) guns, flagship of Admiral Dundas.

When war was declared against Russia he joined the Niger (14 guns) under Captain Leopold Heath, and was present at the loss of the Tiger (15 guns) off Odessa. He witnessed the landing of the Allied Armies in the Crimea and at the Battle of Alma his ship covered the French right advance. He was present at the bombardment of Sebastopol by the Allied Fleets; joined the landing party for duty in the lines running from Balaclava to Sebastopol; and took part in Liprandi's attack on the battery at the Battle of Inkerman.

On the declaration of peace the young officer proceeded in the Geyser to the Cape of Good Hope, and for two years was engaged in suppressing the slave trade on the East Coast of Africa. - - -

Knocking Down Chestnuts
In consequence of complaints made to the police about the danger caused to the public by throwing missiles from the road into chestnut trees at West Ham Park, a constable in plain clothes was set to watch and the result was that informations were laid against five boys and a photographer. The cases in which the boys were concerned were heard in the Children's Court on Tuesday by the Mayor (Mr.F.A.Prance), Mr.E.C.White, Mr.W.Cannon, and Mr.F.Hillary.

The defendants in the first case were Louis Victor Walsworth (13), George Gosling (12) - who had been summoned in the name of Goddard - William White (12), and George Smith (11). White lives in George Street and the other three live in Alexandra Road. They were charged with throwing stones to the danger of passengers and to this they pleaded not guilt: Walsworth, however, admitting that he threw sticks.

P.C.Wherrell said that on Tuesday, Oct 17th, at 5 p.m., he saw the defendants in Worting Road throwing at the chestnut tress in West Ham Park. Some three sticks and some stones. Witness was concealed behind a hedge on the south side of the road opposite the second lodge, and about ninety yards from the defendants. Several vehicles passed while they were throwing, also foot passengers and cyclists. They continued throwing for about a quarter of an hour. He could not say which of the defendants threw sticks and which of them threw stones. - - -

Supt.Reynolds said these cases were the outcome of complaints received respecting stone-throwing at this place. It had become a regular nuisance and he had been obliged to put a constable there all day to try to stop it. The fence had been broken and the stones were thrown over into General Heath's park.

The Mayor said it was no doubt a wanton nuisance. The Bench did not consider that the parents in these cases had conduced to the offence; but they could not continually overlook these offences and therefore the defendants must pay 6s. 6d. each.

The other case was dealt with in the public Court, the defendant, who did not appear, being Frank Hobbs, of 60 George Street, photographer. - - -

The evidence in this case was that about 12.30 on the 17th inst., P.C.Wherrell saw the defendant throw stones from the road into the chestnut trees in West Ham Park. He continued doing this for five or six minutes, during which time three motor cars passed, also a woman with a baby in arm. Witness went to the defendant, who told him he only three to get some chestnuts.

The Mayor said that in this case the defendant was old enough to know better. So bad had this nuisance become that it involved the expense and trouble of having a constable there. The defendant would be fined 5s. and 9s. costs.

Hunting
Saturday, when the Surrey Union met at Anstie Grange, the residence of Mr.Heath, was a terrible day of rain and wind. A fox was found in Squires Big Wood, and a very fine woodland hunt of an hour and twenty minutes ensued, the dog pack hunting extremely well with a good cry. They ran at a great pace nearly to Wootton, where the fox turned, and, running through Tillingbourne and Upper Merriden, worked his way back through Duke's Warren to Merriden and the Big Wood. Bearing left-handed to Tilllingbourne he re-entered Duke's Warren and was lost.

Those lucky enough to see hounds work during this fine woodland hunt were recompensed for the thorough soaking they got. With the scent improving the Surrey Union are showing good sport.

Saturday 18th November 1911, HMS Triumph, Malta

Just formed another good resolution i.e. this diary business. It will be interesting to see how long I keep it up.

HMS Triumph 1911

HMS Triumph - 1911 - Malta (photo by Richard Ellis, photographer at Malta. CHHC must have bought the photos from him)

My 8th day off today so I have had no watch to keep. Last night dined at club with Brodie & Westlake of the Swiftsure. Afterwards to a charity show at the Manoel theatre which I thought rather poor. Played rackets before breakfast and this afternoon. A fine day after about 10 days rain.

At 4.00pm the fleet proceeded to sea en route for Platea leaving Cornwalis & Aboukir in Malta.

Business done. Paid Tomlin & Mulveney's bills, read a little of Hamlet, otherwise I am afraid I haven't got much forrader. Feeling on the whole pretty merry & bright in spite of what promises to be a pretty mouldy week.

Spent most of the day weighing the pros and cons of beard growing, finally decided to wait a bit. A fine evening, am carrying my scuttle but intend to sleep on top of wireless room.

Sunday 19th November 1911 - HMS Triumph

So far an uneventful day plugging along at about 9 knots with a following wind & sea. Kept forenoon watch and took an unsuccessful sight though the horizon appeared to be quite good.

Tuesday 21st November 1911 3.45am - HMS Triumph

Another very pleasant middle over. Passed time reading Stalky & Co & making . . . with an occasional glance at stars. We anchored about 4 miles from Oxia at 10am. Got under way at 4pm. 1" Piff at targets from 6.30 till 7.30. Now going rounds.

After lunch. Piff all afternoon. By the way before I forget it who wrote.

"I never had a dear gazelle

to glad me with its soft black eye.

But when it came to know me well

and love me it was sure to die".

Thursday 23rd November 1911 - HMSTriumph

Spent all yesterday forenoon at anchor doing 14 Pdr piff (303) at two 24" iron targets towed at about 4 knots, range 500 yards.

Heath-Caldwell 1911 gunnery

Lt Cmdr pretending to be a gunnery expert - 1911 (according to note on photo)

Got underway at about 3.00pm and towed targets for Exmouth & Russell, night defence practice &ldots;. two pattern 111 targets used. Exmouth got no hits, Russell got 4.

Anchored again at about 9.30, at 10.30 shifted berth closer to Oxia. The whole of Wednesday was spent at anchor, in the evening practised two night attacks on port side only, using three steam boats. Boats came down in line ahead and got very close before being observed. Afterwards 14 Pdr control piff (1" aiming) at 6 by 8 target range about 900x, with large percentage of hits.

Early this morning, Captain, Commander, No.1 and Pilot started on shooting expedition; to an island about 8' away. Just received signal to say that Hussar has gone on beach off Corfu, where she has gone for mails. Diana has gone to her assistance.

Perfect weather whole trip. Glass about 30.00 fine sunny days, temperature nearly 70Â°, sea about 68Â°, a delightful bathe every morning.

Before I forget it, must just jot down about Shooting at Minorca, farm called Mangope vell, write to British Consul, and washing-man called Rogers, cost about Â£1 per day 4 guns.

Saturday 25th November 1911 - HMS Triumph

Old Thomas went on the "list" on Thursday and I had to take on navigator. This I managed with fair success that evening when we towed targets for other ships. However the pilot was still sick on Friday and "Pride had a fall". Having taken the ship to the first firing ground I had to go down to my first casemate for the 1st practice. When this was over I was told to fix the ship, the only object bright being Oxia light and a problematical searchlight beam barely visible on the horizon. The consequence was that Portland got more & more worried & finally Mexse was told to take on whilst I retired, as gracefully as circumstances would permit under a cloud.

Well so much for my opportunity. Have a first day on today and there is more firing tonight. Anchored off fixed targets last night, but slipped to berth behind Oxia this afternoon. Glass falling slightly wind & sea rising.

Sunday 26th November 1911 - HMS Triumph - Makri Island

We had a most poisonous evening for our firing last night. The first thing was Squadron firing. This was fairly successful. Then we went off on our own for the night battle practice, the Russell towing our targets for us. Owing to the weather she took a long time to get them out. At the first attempt we couldn't see the targets so we turned round and tried again. Finally after hoisting in targets we anchored in a fairly sheltered billet North of Makri Island. Bloomfield, Wood, Warren & Loughlin have gone to the lakes near Plataix to shoot. I should love to have gone but unfortunately I have got the afternoon watch. I have been weak enough to lend my gun to Bloomfield. I hope they will have better luck than the last shooting party, where the only really exciting incident was when a leading seaman had a fit and had beer poured over his face, there being no water. Have now been on board over a week and am feeling pretty rotten in consequence.

Thursday 28th November 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

We left our anchorage of Makri Island about 6.00am yesterday and moored ship in Corfu about 4.30pm, the distance being 96 miles. There was a certain amount of disturbance on the way in owing to a report that King of Greece was in Corfu, & we anchored ship in frock coats & swords and stood by to man ship. However luckily he left before we arrived.

I landed about 5.30 and went for a short walk with Ward, subsequently dining with him at the Hotel Anglaterre or Bien venue in the southern quarter of the town where we had a moderate dinner. Two admirals & their families were also dining there besides Diggle, Smith, Osborn & Bingham, the former is being cm'd tomorrow for putting his ship ashore.

Landed about 2.30 today after divisional . . . in the forenoon. Started off on a solitary walk along the Peninsular at the back (southern side) of the town. When I arrived at the end met Brodie & Tod of the Swiftsure. We went across by the ferry (6Â¢ each) and finally reached the Achillion by rather a round about & very pretty cross-country route. (4.30pm) Tea at a house there, then walked back by moonlight along the road, arriving in town about 7.15.

Found mail on board with letter from Mother (Constance Mary Helsham Heath-Caldwell). Their projected timetable as follows.

Have been reading Hawke Olympic collision case in Admiralty court. They have got a large crowd of experts up to prove that Hawke's bow was hauled over to port into the Olympic although helm was hard aport, but I suppose the overtaking ship will finally be had.

Am sleeping on deck tonight.

Wednesday 29th November 1911 - HMSTriumph

We exercised general drill independently in forenoon getting out nets twice & out all wire hausers. Getting big wire out on a reel having been forbidden by C.inC. as unpractical, it is now hoisted out on an enormous wooden bobbin. When it is in the boat, four nuts are unscrewed and half the contrivance is lifted out again. It undoubtedly saves time, but I don't consider it practical. This afternoon I walked out to the northward of the town along the sea front most of the way, distance about 8 kilometres.

Friday 1st December 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

Half an hours mimie warfare this forenoon.

Sunday 3rd December 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

Five of us, Goldsmith, Wharton, Morse, Loughlin & self obtained 48 hours leave from Saturday forenoon, having planned to visit San Salvatore Monastery, the highest point on island towards north. Our original plan was to go up to San. Salvatore first day, starting 5.00am, sleep in monastery and return next day.

Saturday being wet, Goldsmith & Wharton cried off. However it cleared slightly towards the afternoon and at about 1.15pm M. L. & self were ashore, bound for Spartilla (Spartilas) a village nestling in hills well below St. Salvatore, and distance about 15 miles or rather 20 kilms from the capital. We drove to Gaind and walked remaining 12 miles arriving at Spartilla about 4.15, damp but cheery. M was rather exhausted as he would insist on wearing alpine boots weighing an enormous amount.

We arrived in Spartilla by a route which appeared to combine the duties of high street and main drain, and immediately became the centre of attraction of a large gang of villagers. Finally we got up on to the upper road. I must here remark that I had previously purchased a small paper book entitled the Englishmen in Greece, price &ldots; After much trouble, which ended in me writing down the name for wine in Greek characters, we were conducted by one man, far more intelligent than the rest to a very doubtful looking & soil smelling hostelry where wine was what out to him & his friends at out expense (I may say that the said wine had a very strong flavour, and taste of goats, owing probably to having been stowed in goat skins.

After more waiting and pantomime we obtained the use of a house (kind of guest house) consisting to two floors i.e. two rooms, two beds! & a table in the upper room &ldots; the lower one. We also obtained a very savoury meal of some sort of roast cockiolly bird, which we called Ptarmigan (. . . the week) but which I was really . . . , and 3 boiled eggs each. After dinner L & S went for the short strole having most of our clothes dried by now. On out return M was curled up on one of the beds in upper room. L & S turned in shortly afterwards about 8.15. Subsequent events are probably best told by following programme. ( By the way I took lower room).

8.15 - 35 or so try & get more or less comfortable, a somewhat difficult business owing partly to a scanty wardrobe partly owing to extremely hard & queerly furnished bed.

8.40 Nearly sleep, soon wide awake again, apparently all the dogs of the neighbourhood aided & encouraged by villagers are holding high tourney just under the window.

8.45 Begin to feel tickley.

8.46 more tickley.

8.48 so so more dog fights. The programme continues like this till about 11.30pm when I sing out to L & M and get a reply that they each feel like one large itch. Query what can it be? The beds have been examined and found delightfully clean. Renewed grownings and tossings from upper room. I suggest spots due to poisoning brought about by cockidly birds, or was it due to lack of accustomed ablutions.

Finally to cut a long story short at 1.am Loughlin found an unmistakable cause, ripped off blankets sheets, exposed mattress found thriving population, similar discovery in other beds. What's to be done, so far 5 hours Hell, no sleep. Try floor, the brave M sticks to his sheepskin rug, not so remainder.

After a cold, hard & I regret to say scratchy hour or so spent on floor, L & I take two chairs each & sit & smoke & yarn till 6am. our room & food cost us 10 drachmas all over. The above mentioned intelligent inhabitant arrives about that hour with coffee & hard boiled eggs, having previously offered to guide us to the monastery.

Having caught a few of the livestock we set out feeling remarkably merry & bright we leave our torture chamber and ascend rocky & steep path up the hill. The dawn is breaking as we start about 6.40 and we are just in time to see O' 'ihos rise as we reach the top of the first ridge. A fairly strenuous & rocky & very pretty climb brings us to the little monastery perched on top of the hill by about 8.30am.

Now about half an hour here during which we gaze in wonder and rapture at the view. On the West & North the sea stretching away to the distance. To the Eastward the snow capped mountains of Epirus, with a whole valley filled with low lying cloud making a beautiful picture. Next we partake of some coffee made by the monks only two of whom are visible ( one clad in an old military greatcoat, the other in what looks like a paid off dressing gown) & a most delicious glass of water "pure from the crystal spring". We now descend via Glypho and most precipitous & hard descent which takes us from about 9.30 till when we once more reach the sea level.

Tuesday 5th December 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

To cut a long story short we had a top hole bath at the bottom and then walked back to Corfu arriving on board about 5pm. Yesterday I walked out to the Akhillion & back with Heneage.

Thursday 7th December 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

2nd day of sailing regatta. Drifting match all forenoon, finally given up. 2nd day on. Blom placed in durance vile for missing quarters for nth time.

On the 14th December 1911, Amundsen reached the South Pole ahead of Scott.

Sunday 10th December 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

Sailing regatta was tried again on Friday and leading boats got round though there wasn't much wind. Goldsmith won the C. in C.'s cup in 2nd whales amidst a scene of wild enthusiasm. On Saturday there was more sailing the Friesta Cup in forenoon also won by Goldsmith, and Beresford cup for midshipmen in the afternoon. A mail arrived today by which we see that we have 9 midshipmen appointed. Father Bray and the clerk (Duggan) left the ship on Friday to visit San Salvatore. They arrived safely but Father Bray started back alone leaving the clerk at the top to take some photographs. Apparently they had a guide who lead Father Bray to the edge of a precipice & then producing a murderous looking knife, demanded the reverend gent's gold watch & chain. There was apparently no alternative. He telephoned to the police at Corfu from Spartilla and now the soldiers are scowering the country side for this desperate brigand.

Saturday 16th December 1911 - HMS Triumph - Corfu

Nothing much has occurred this week. I have been for two or three good walks either alone or with Heneage. Father Bray's brigand was captured on Wednesday, and was examined by the local magistrate yesterday. They say he will get between 10 and 20 years, which sounds a lot. However the prisoners here don't don't have to do any work. Their cells are opened at sunrise and shut at sunset. During the interval they are free to wonder about the yard, and converse with their brother jail birds, or else with stray passers by through the bars. They get 2d a day and a pound of bread from the government, besides anything they make selling trifles to people passing through. Father Bray's brigand was apparently overcome with remorse and left all the stolen gear on the altar of the village church. Apparently he was seen in Father Bray's company by a woman who gave him away to the police. They have a curious custom here; whenever a member of the community does anything bringing down disgrace upon his friends, the priest calls everyone into the church and solemnly curses the miscreant and all his belongings. I hope to go shooting tomorrow for which purpose I have borrowed Wharton's cartridge bag & 33 cartridges. Last night we had some boxing at which I was one of the judges.

Monday 18th December 1911 - Corfu

Landed at 5.30am yesterday and started out in a rather ancient motor with Brodie & Forrester of the Swiftsure. The party also consisted of Lingi an alleged keeper and Bella a white dog of uncertain parentage with the head of a retriever and the body of an enlarged fox terrier. We had a delightful drive to Caisope on the extreme north of the Island. We tramped about all the forenoon but saw nothing except a solitary quail put up by Forrester and bagged by Bella (of course I mean the other way about). We found the car again about 1 oclock. After a much appreciated lunch in a delightful situation we started back about 3.30 walking through a blank snipe marsh on the way. Arrived on board about 6.30 after a very pleasant day though the sport was not all that it might have been. The commander and No.1 had a very good day after rock pigeon off an island near here bagging 72 to three guns in the afternoon. I arrived on board to find a letter from F at Linley Wood (Cuthbert's father, Maj. Gen. Frederick Crofton Heath-Caldwell CB RE, had presumably been visiting his elderly aunt, Miss Eliza Louisa Marsh-Caldwell, at Linley Wood in Talke, Staffordshire). Today I walked out to Gorind with Warren and inspected a Venetian arsenal or rather the remains of one. Steamboats of the fleet have been engaged in mining operations.

Sunday 24th December 1911 - Corfu

Have had on the whole rather a dull week. Have been on one or two short walks; and yesterday walked through Arcadia right into the long green valley and back through Canalia. Thursday night & afternoon it was blowing hard & raining but it is quite fine again though colder, & there is more snow on the Albanian hills. A small steam yacht came in yesterday with three wild pigs & a deer hung over the side. According to the latest advices we are going back to Malta on Tuesday.

Friday 29th December 1911, - HMS Triumph - Malta

We had quite a peaceful Christmas at Corfu, which I celebrated by keeping a 1st day on. We left on Tuesday evening and were to have carried out 24 hours at war stations. However this was cancelled owing to bad weather. We had an extremely uncomfortable passage. I had middle watch one night and morning the next. We arrived here (Malta) about 11.00am yesterday, having found Lyddite at Filfla about 9.00am. I dined at club last night with Brodie, Denison, Kilnour, and Westall, of the Swiftsure. Have not yet heard about P's exam.

(P is probably a reference to Pincher, which seems to be a nickname for Cuthbert's brother, Martin Frederick Heath-Caldwell, who attended the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich in 1911).

Saturday 30 December 1911
Staffordshire Sentinel

A writer in the Manchester Courier contributes an interesting article on the precursors of the country shows which bulk so largely in rural life in the present generation. - - - At a local show still older than the Drayton one - 1803 - the society published their desire to be obliged by "any persons who shall produce at their general meetings, for the inspection of the society any description of farming stock for the improvement of the breeds within the district." There was a good length of time between the offering of the premiums and the adjudication. Thus the premiums offered on Feb.16 1802 were adjudged on Friday September 30, 1803. These were in connection with the Newcastle and Pottery Agricultural Societies, and samples may be given here. Some are as follow:- - "The Premium No.16 of a silver cup or seven guineas for laying down for pasture the greatest quantity of land, in the best manner, with white Clover Grass Seeds, to James Caldwell of Linley Woodl, Esq.
