[1920s transatlantic ocean liner: TSS Transylvania (1925), cruise ship with the Anchor Line, requisi tioned by the Royal Navy in
1920s transatlantic ocean liner: RMS Transylvania cruise ship with the Anchor Line. Long Typed Letter from ‘Alex’ to his parents written en route from Glasgow to New York with account and diagrams of a sea rescue and postcard of the liner.
Letter from 'S. S. Transylvania' en route from Glasgow to New York 24 26 and 29 November 1928. Postcard undated but contemporaneous. TSS Transylvania the prefix stands for ‘Twin Screw Steamship’ was built in Glasgow for the Anchor Line and launched in 1925. She had three funnels but two were redundant only serving to render the ship more attractive to prospective passengers. In 1940 she requisitioned by the Royal Navy and the following year she was torpedoed by the Germans sinking with the loss of 36 lives. The letter is 13pp 12mo; with neat single-space typing on thirteen leaves. It contains three line diagrams and on a separate 12mo leaf is an ink drawing with captions titled ‘As the Herrewich sic appeared when we last saw her’. Also present is a sepia postcard of ‘T.S.S. TRANSYLVANIA’. The letter and diagram are in fair condition aged and worn but with text clear and entire. The postcard is good with light aging. Signed in type ‘Alex.’ With manuscript diagrams and salutation to ‘Dear Mother and Father’. A well written missive the use of catch-words implies a good education beginning: ‘It is surprising that now more than five days after leaving Glasgow we should be only about 1000 miles from home. The explanation is probably well known to you all: but although you will have had newspaper accounts of the great storm and of the wreck we stood by I’m quite sure that some amplifications in the form of our personal experiences will be both welcome and of interest. In the first place let me hasten to assure you that none of us came to any harm. In the main we are all well. Mary has not been able to be out of bed much so far but on the other hand she has been free from sickness - which is a very remarkable thing considering our experiences.’ After news of ‘Anne’ and ‘Virginia’ ‘Mary’ and ‘Aunt Mima’ are also referred to he reports that they ‘arrived at Moville about midnight on Monday and spent a great night in Lough Foyle. At 10.00 o’clock next morning the Londonderry tender came alongside and we took 350 passengers and their baggage on board - making the total passenger compliment about 1100. There are about 25 in the first class.’ He finds the Transylvania ‘a splendid ship for watching the sea from. The forward extension of B. deck in front of the bridge is very clear of truck and there are no boats on it as there are on the others’. The account of the journey continues followed by a seven-page account of the storm and rescue beginning: ‘In the evening of Tuesday it was apparent that the sea was rising higher and higher as was the wind: and through the night it was obvious that something unusual in the way of weather was blowing up. / Now I’ve thought previously that we have been in Atlantic storms before. Two years ago on the “Cameronia†was a bad time: and one day last year the “Caledonia†was thrown about considerably: but our in pencil ‘my’ farthest stretch of imagination - even my wildest fears - have never pictured anyting so in pencil ‘as’ tremendous as we awoke in pencil ‘the situation’ to on Wednesday morning.’ He gives a vivid description of the ship ‘riding out the storm magnificently’ as he is caught by ‘plants flowerpots chairs and so on’: ‘The second and third class passengers were locked in and battened down for about two days. The stern of the ship was almost completely under water and the hatchways to the steward’s quarters were stove in during the night and all the stewards woke up to find themselves invaded by a foot or two of water.’ The storm subsides and she comes across the wreck of a ‘large German tramp’ he calls the ‘Herrenwich’ ‘a poignant and pathetic spectacle; and more so was the view we had of the hapless crew clinging to what was left on the bare decks. We gradually got the story bit by bit as it filtered through the bridge where it was picked up I suppose by signals. A great wave had landed on the “Herrenwich†and had stove in the hatch of No. 3 hold on the forward well deck. This hold was full of water and the restraining bulkheads were bulging. The captain sent out his S. O. S. and immediately there - after another sea came on board and carried off bodily the bridge the wireless the wireless room and all the boats save one which was stove in. The captain and a quartermaster were swept overboard with the bidge and were lost immediately.’ He describes ‘a masterly exposition magnificently executed of the tactics of sea rescue. It was obviously impossible to go right up to the ship but sometimes we were not more than 100 yards away and communication by megaphone was possible. It was equally impossible for us simply to take up a position on the nether side and so act as a breakwater. The manoeuvre which was carried out time after time therefore was to circle the wreck as quickly as possible and to drift past her on the weather side and so give her a certain degree of intermittent protection. This meant that twice in every circuit the captain had to bring the “Transylvania†broadside on to the seas and every time this happened there came the sickening sense of going over on our beam ends - as I believe many less seaworthy and splendid ships would have done. And each time of course until everything was secured anything movable was thrown about in the wildest way. Oil was poured on the water with each circuit and the difference it made was wonderful.’ The seven-page account of the storm and rescue ends with the information that ‘the bridge is 62 feet from the waterline and when we were in the trough 19 out of every 20 waves were seen to be on a level with or higher than the bridge’. It reflects: ‘I’ve often told myself that I wanted to experience a real Atlantic storm. Now I have experienced it. I’d like it again but never again would I like to take Mary and the children into it.’ The letter finishes with two two-page updates from 26 and 29 November the last beginning with the information that the ship has ‘passed Nantucket light ship and may therefore expect to reach quarantine to-night’. See Image. Letter from 'S. S. Transylvania' (en route from Glasgow to New York), 24, 26 and 29 November 1928. Postcard undated, but contemp unknown

Lord Napier of Merchistoun William John Napier 9th Lord Napier 1786 1834 Royal Navy officer and Chief Superintendant of Trade
Napier of Merchistoun: William John Napier 9th Lord Napier of Merchistoun. Long Autograph Letter Signed ‘To Colonel Napier / Royal Artillery’ Charles Napier regarding genealogical matters and with a Royal Navy reminiscence.
‘Thirlestane - Selkirk Decr 19 / 1831’. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient is presumably the Captain Charles Napier d.1849 of the Royal Artillery who ‘received eight wounds from the bursting of a shrapnel shell’ at Waterloo see Dalton’s ‘Waterloo Roll Call’ p.194. 8pp 4to. Closely and neatly written on two bifoliums. In good condition lightly aged but folded three times into a packet and with some closed tears to the creases. Addressed ‘To Colonel Napier / Royal Artillery’ and with the valediction ‘I will now bid you adieu & subscribe myself / Yr very faithful Kinsman / Napier’. Begins: ‘Sir / As a Kinsman I should have no difficulty in addressing you - & as little in making your acquaintance if the fortune of Peace ever threw us together. / Happening to be at the Earl Marshalls Office last October in quest of a paper relative to the Descent of the Napiers supplied by the first Lord of that name I was informed that you had been after a Copy of the same in order to illustrate your descent from the ancient Earls of Levenax with the view of making good your right to the said Title. That is also a subject which has engrossed my attention as well as that of my Father who was a good Genealogist. No doubt we are all descended from a younger Son of one of the old Earls but I believe Mac Farlane of Mac Farlane who is descended from a Brother of the same disputes the seniority of the two and there does not appea to be any document extant to settle the point.’ This does not even take us to the end of the first of the eight pages and the following seven continue in the same vein with a mass of information about the conflicting claims of various individuals and branches of the family. Covering one page is a transcript of a letter from ‘Napier of Blackstone whose descendant was killed commanding a Highland Regt. under Sir J. Moore at Corunna’ dated ‘Blackstone / 24 March 1715.’ He has ‘requested Lord Wharncliffe as Representative of Sir George Mackenzie to his papers if he can find the ryse sic of the Napiers in England as before said - for this document might clear up the difference between Macfarlane & us as to the Seniority of the Brothers. Talking of Brothers I had the pleasure of being acquainted with your poor Brother Andrew - now no more. I was a midn. aboard the Defence in Portsmo’ Harbour in 1804 - & sent with a gang of hands onbd. the Zealous to assist in taking her out to Spithead. At 4 o’clock I went down to the starboard Berth in the Cockpit & among the noisy inmates soon discovered one of my own name. We compared our seals & found we both bore the same crest & of course that made us friends and relatives immediately. I saw him very often onbd. the same ship afterwards but was not near him when he died.’ The letter ends with a page on the Napier crest. ‘Thirlestane - Selkirk Decr 19 / 1831’. unknown

Battle of Jutland (1916): Arthur Marsden (1883-1960), Royal Navy officer commanding HMS Ardent; Royal Naval College, Dartmouth:
Battle of Jutland 1916. Eye-witness article titled ‘H.M.S. “Ardent†and the Jutland Action. / By A. M.’ i.e. Arthur Marsden ship’s commander and one of two survivors of her sinking in ‘The Britannia Magazine’ Royal Naval College Dartmouth.
Christmas 1916. Underhill & Co. Printers & Publishers Plymouth. This is an extremely scarce item not held by the Imperial War Museum and significant for the five-page eye-witness account it contains pp.29-33: ‘‘H.M.S. “Ardent†and the Jutland Action. / By A. M.’ i.e. Lieutenant-Commander Arthur Marsden who was in command of the Ardent and one of only two survivors of its sinking. It is remarkable that he was allowed to disseminate such a candid account for the perusal of naval cadets! within months of the engagement. On cover: ‘The Britannia Magazine / Royal Naval College Dartmouth. / Christmas 1916.’ and printers’ slug. 4to 36pp and further three plates. On shiny paper and in brown printed wraps. Staples rusted and some leaves loose; some staining and wear but in fair condition for such a frail survival. Containing - after list of officers masters and cadets - editorial and ‘chapel’ notes correspondence articles cartoons reports of ‘Soccer’ and ‘Rugger’ ‘Beagling Notes’. But it is Marsden’s account that is of significance. Two extracts will convey the tone: ‘The enemy ships suddenly switched off lights and “ceased fire.†I could feel the ship was sinking and said so to my 1st Lieutenant Lieut. C. E. F. Egan who was also on the bridge and told him to get out the boats and rafts or what might be left of them. I tried to get down the starboard bridge ladder but that was shot away. The port one was hanging by a shred and I slid down that. The Leading Telegraphist came up to me in the quietest and most matter-of-fact way and asked if he should make any report. I told him what to make and he saluted disappeared and I never saw him again. The Leading Signalman came up and said in the most cheerful way “Well the old Argent done her bit all right Sir.†The ship was nearly gone; so it remained for us to try and save as many of the crew as possible.’ And: ‘I spoke to many men and saw most of them die one by one. Not a man of them showed any fear of death and there was never a murmur complaint or cry for help from a single soul. Their joy was andn they talked about it to the end that they and the Ardent had “done their bit†as they put it. While there were still many alive a German came close and fired a star-shell over us. I could see her distinctly and was all for giving her a hail but the men all said “Noâ€; they agreed that they would sooner take the remote chance of beig saved by an English ship rather than be a prisoner in Germany. I was nearly done in once or twice in the first hour by men hanging on to me in the last stages of exhaustion and I was separated from my lifebuoy and was pulled right over in the water but managed to recover myself and the buoy. None of the men seemed to suffer at all; they just seemed to lay back and go to sleep.’ Christmas 1916. Underhill & Co., Printers & Publishers, Plymouth. paperback

Admiral Sir Reginald Tupper 1859 1945 Royal Navy officer active in the First World War; his second wife Caroline Tupper 1863 19
Admiral Sir Reginald Tupper Royal Navy officer active in the First World War. Autograph Letter Signed from his second wife ‘Carrie Caroline Tupper’ to ‘Mrs. Henderson’ concerning her husband’s ill health within a few months of his death.
17 September 1944. On letterhead of 22 Draycott Place S.W.3 London. See the entry on Admiral Tupper in the Oxford DNB: ‘After the death of his first wife he married second on 24 June 1933 Caroline Maud Abadie 1863-1948 the widow of General Sir Henry Richard Abadie; she was the daughter of Colonel Fanshawe Gostling of the Royal Berkshire regiment.’ 4pp 12mo. On two leaves of blue paper in stamped and postmarked envelope addressed to ‘Mrs. Henderson / c/o Lady Edwina Lewin / Salthrop House / Wroughton / Wilts.’ A long letter in a not entirely straightforward hand. She begins by discussing the recipient’s husband’s improving health she appears to say the handwriting makes the entire transcription doubtful that she ‘has had a dreadful “night mare†time’ over her husband’s health: ‘he began working again at “The Chelsea Reserve W†with Colonel Boyes-Lyon and did too much & had heart attack on July 29th. when I had to take him into the Royal Masonic Hospital for a specialist to attend’. This takes us around half-way through the letter. The second half is no less opaque. 17 September 1944. On letterhead of 22 Draycott Place, S.W.3 [London] unknown

Admiral Sir Phipps Hornby (1785-1867), senior Royal Navy officer, hero of the Battle of Lissa, 1811, Lord of the Admiralty, Supe
Admiral Sir Phipps Hornby hero of the Battle of Lissa Lord of the Admiralty. Autograph Letter Signed "Phipps Hornby" as Superintendent of the Victualling Yard Plymouth discussing what to do with the butter and cheese for 'the Ordinary'.
‘Navl Hospl Naval Hospital Plymouth / June 21st. 1834’. See his entry and that of his son in the Oxford DNB. Hornby served as Superintendent of the Royal Naval Hospital and Victualling Yard at Plymouth between 1832 and 1838. This item is 2pp 12mo. Bifolium with thin mourning border. Fifty lines neatly and closely written. In fair condition lightly aged and worn with slight damage and a few closed tears around gutter. Folded for postage. Signed ‘Phipps Hornby’ and with recipient ‘My dear Sir’ unnamed. Pencil note giving note by recipient at head of first page giving prices for butter and cheese ‘for the Year 1834’. A naval hero oversees victualling: ‘I have been giving the best consideration in my power as to the price that should be fixed as a compensation for the Butter and Cheese now served to the Ordinary in the event of its being discontinued and am of opinion that if six pencec Pr. Pound for Butter and five pence for Cheese were allowed it would be as fair a price as could be put upon articles which must necessarily vary so much in value.’ That price ‘would not be opposed by the Ordinary here’ and ‘If there should be any grumbling it will arise from the Prices I have named not putting the Men in the Ordinary quite upon the same footing with the Men in the Dock Yard & Victualling craft the Three halpence a day allowed to these latter being an excess over what I propse to give to the former.’ He thinks that it is ‘very desireable to get rid of this species of Provisions altogether it being a Nuisance and a loss in all ways.’ After a reference to ‘Fresh Beef’ he discusses the cheese he ‘proposed to sell at our late sale’ which ‘tho at present sound and good I should not get 20 shillings per Cat. bid at so that it remains on hand but if a private offer is made to this amount I will take upon myself to let it go.’ He ends with a reference to ‘Mr McIntosh’ not ‘settling his accounts: it is truly vexatious’. ‘Navl Hospl [Naval Hospital, Plymouth] / June 21st. [1834]’. unknown

Lady Tupper’s letters: 17 December 1943 on letterhead of The King’s House Walton-on-Thames Surrey; and 13 July 1944; on Draycott Place letterhead.

All but Item Five below are on uniform 12mo leaves of grey paper. In good overall condition apart from Item Three which is aged and worn. ONE: Tupper to Henderson 3 February 1937. 1p 12mo. In envelope addressed to Henderson at Rex Cottage 7 Streets Mews Mayfair. Signed ‘Reginald Tupper’. Inviting him to dinner ‘Dinner jacket & black tie’. TWO: Tupper to Henderson 10 February 1937. 2pp 12mo. In envelope as One and similarly sign. Reassuring him with regard to a letter he sent informing the Tuppers of his wife’s illness: ‘it was not a “party†we had invited 2 clever men to meet you but hope it is only a pleasure deferred. We are moving down to Burhill next week - & hope you will be able to bring Mrs. Henderson down to see the Kings House - we are about 2 1/2 miles from Walton Station’. THREE: Lady Tupper to Henderson’s wife 17 December 1943. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. No envelope. Signed ‘Carrie Tupper’.

FIVE: Lady Tupper to Henderson. 2pp 12mo. Final part of lost letter comprising the 26-line two-page postscript.

Alonso Bolanos, Marina & Eckart Boege Schmidt, (coords,)
Las otras cartografías. Etnografía de la experiencia indígena del espacio y el tiempo
México D.F.: Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia/Secretaría de Cultura 2024 Los ocho textos que integran este libro abordan el problema del espacio-territorio simbolización y representación reforzando el vínculo existente entre el quehacer geográfico y el antropológico. La relación de ambos campos disciplinarios resulta primordial pues todo lo que acontece sucede en una temporalidad y espacialidad determinadas –incluyendo los propios escenarios míticos-. Así los lugares están cargados de un sentido social.Los autores refieren las otras cartografías o cartografías otras porque se trata de alterar las estructuras coloniales del saber al advertir que ha habido diversas formas de cartografiar la experiencia indígena espaciotemporal y que dialogan con pero son irreductibles al conocimiento cartográfico occidental no obstante que éste se haya impuesto como base para el estudio científico del espacio.En este libro el término mapa tiene una amplia acepción: mapas croquis dibujos y pintura mural –que genéricamente se denominan otras cartografías- y que se basan en el significado el sentido y la centralidad que tienen los distintos atributos geográficos para cada colectivo. Asimismo en las otras cartografías son considerados los lazos que los seres humanos han establecido con los lugares en el pasado y en su reconstrucción y actualización permanente; así como también la relación que tienen los sitios con el cuerpo y las individualidades.
