Rh the length of the cylindrical armature; therefore the further increase of the number of convolutions can only be made by several series of convolutions placed one above another. Let the electromotive power of a series of convolutions which the length of the armature occupies $${}= \phi$$; the length of the wire of all these convolutions, or, in this case, on account of the diameter of the wire being equal throughout, the resistance it offers $${}= \alpha$$; let the length of the necessarily free ends of the wires together $${}=\beta$$, the power therefore of the current of this first series of convolutions is let $$\gamma$$ be the piece of the second series of convolutions by which its length, on account of its necessarily greater diameter, is greater than the length $$\alpha$$ of the first series, the power of the current from these two series is and in the same manner where $$\delta$$ designates the quantity by which the first series is surpassed in length by the third. If now the second series of convolutions does not add to the strength of the current, we put $$\mu_1= \mu_2$$, therefore whence we have i. e. as soon as the length of the free ends is only equal to the difference between the lengths of the second series of convolutions and those of the first, the second series would then add nothing to the strength of the current. In order to see what three series would do in this case, let us put $$\beta = \gamma$$ in the expression for $$\mu$$, and we obtain $$\delta$$ however is now greater than $$\gamma$$ or $$\beta$$, we therefore put $$\delta = \beta + \mu$$, where $$\mu$$ expresses a positive magnitude; we obtain by this

This last expression for $$\mu_3$$ is evidently smaller than $$\frac$$, consequently three series of convolutions would only weaken the action of one or two series (which actions have been here assumed as equal).

 containers that were located three positions inboard on the TESTBANK were not damaged. Alternately, the restriction of traffic to one-way operation during periods of dangerous cargo transit should be considered as a preventive measure.

CONCLUSIONS

Findings

 * 1) The TESTBANK was prudently navigated downbound in the MRGO by the pilot.
 * 2) The pilots of both the TESTBANK and the SEADANIEL utilized bridge-to-bridge communications effectively.
 * 3) The master of the SEADANIEL was aware of the only other major vessel in the channel approaching his vessel but could not say what that vessel's specific movements were because he "was not paying attention."
 * 4) The SEADANIEL's pilot might have avoided this accident by listening for a repeat back of all rudder commands by the helmsman or by more closely observing the helmsman's response to each rudder command.
 * 5) The SEADANIEL's pilot contributed to the confusion of the helmsman by raising his voice and lecturing to him in English about the need for maintaining course.
 * 6) The helmsman failed to understand the pilot's first order of hard to starboard.
 * 7) The master of the SEADANIEL, who understood the pilot's first order of hard to starboard and who generally required that all rudder commands be repeated back, did not enforce this practice when the helmsman did not repeat back the order of hard to starboard. The master should have immediately advised the pilot that the helmsman had not repeated back the hard to starboard order.
 * 8) The third mate of the SEADANIEL, who was aware that the helmsman was confused and did not properly respond to the pilot's order, did nothing. The third mate should have immediately advised the pilot that the helmsman did had not properly responded to the hard to starboard order.
 * 9) The SEADANIEL came left across the channel centerline and collided with the TESTBANK.
 * 10) The SEADANIEL's left turn was due to the improper application of left rudder by the helmsman when right rudder was ordered.
 * 11) Had the dangerous cargo containers on the TESTBANK been stowed at least three containers inboard from the side of the vessel, the major environmental pollution incident that resulted from this accident would not have occurred.
 * 12) An analysis of the traffic on the MRGO would be beneficial in determining whether one-way traffic during periods of dangerous cargo transit is warranted, in all or a portion of the channel.

Martyn year he entered Emmanuel College, Cambridge, as a pensioner. Among his early recollections were visits to Sir Hans Sloane, then in extreme old age, bearing copies of his father's publications. At Cambridge Martyn studied classics under Hurd. He became Whichcote scholar in 1753, foundation scholar and Thorpe exhibitioner in 1755, and graduated as fifth senior optime in 1756, having no taste for mathematics. A student of botany from his childhood, he became familiar with the ‘Systema Naturæ,’ the ‘Genera Plantarum,’ and the ‘Critica Botanica’ of Linnæus on their first appearance; but, though he had been brought up by his father as a follower of Ray, the ‘Philosophia Botanica’ (1751) and ‘Species Plantarum’ (1753) converted him to those Linnæan views of which he became one of the earliest English exponents.

Martyn was elected fellow of Sidney Sussex College, and was ordained deacon in 1758, when he proceeded M.A., and priest in the following year. From 1760 to 1774 he acted as tutor of his college. On his father's resignation in 1762 he was elected university professor of botany, a post which he retained for sixty-three years, though he only lectured until 1796, botany not proving a very popular subject. Dr. Richard Walker, vice-master of Trinity College, having given the site of the monastery of Austin Friars for a botanical garden, Martyn became in the same year the first reader in botany under this endowment. In 1763 he gave his first course of lectures, basing them on the Linnæan system, to which Stillingfleet, Lee, Hill, and Hudson had already directed public attention, and which Hope was simultaneously introducing into the university of Edinburgh. In the same year he published his first work, ‘Plantæ Cantabrigienses,’ and spent the long vacation in Holland, Flanders, and Paris. In 1766 he graduated as B.D., and in 1770, on Charles Miller's departure for the East Indies, he began some years' gratuitous service as curator of the university garden, the funds being then at a low ebb.

In 1773, in conjunction with his fellow-tutor, John Lettice [q. v.], Martyn began the publication of ‘The Antiquities of Herculaneum,’ the Italian original of which they had bought for 50l. The Neapolitan court, however, sent a formal protest against the issue of this version of a work ‘designed exclusively for presentation,’ and only one part, containing fifty plates, was ever published. On Martyn's marriage at the close of this year he vacated his fellowship, and was presented by the bishop to the sequestration of Foxton, and went to live at Triplow, near Cambridge, where he took pupils till 1776. At the beginning of 1774 his pupil John Borlase Warren presented him to the rectory of Ludgershall, Buckinghamshire, and in 1776 to the vicarage of Little Marlow, which became his headquarters until 1784.

In 1778 he accompanied his pupil and ward, Edward Hartopp, of Little Dalby Hall, Leicestershire, for a two years' tour on the continent, taking with him his wife and infant son. After settling for some time at Vandœuvres, near Geneva, they went as far south as Naples, and returned to England by Venice, Tyrol, Cologne, and Brussels. Martyn kept a journal, part of which he afterwards published, and made a large collection of minerals to illustrate lectures on general natural history, with which he now found it expedient to supplement those on botany.

In 1784 he came to London for his son's education, and, having purchased the Charlotte Street Chapel, Pimlico, from Dr. Dodd, resigned the rectory of Ludgershall, in which he was succeeded by his half-brother, Claudius. At this time he produced his most popular work, his translation and continuation of Rousseau's ‘Letters on the Elements of Botany,’ which went through eight editions, and began his most considerable undertaking, his edition of Philip Miller's ‘Gardener's Dictionary.’ This was in fact an entirely new work on the Linnæan system, which he undertook in 1785 for Messrs. White & Rivington for a thousand guineas, expecting to complete it in eleven years. It was not, however, published as a whole until 1807.

In 1791, at the request of Sir J. B. Warren, he became secretary to the Society for the Improvement of Naval Architecture, which lasted until 1796, and in 1793, after thirty years' work, his professorship at Cambridge was made a royal one, and he was given a pension of 100l. per annum.

In 1798 he removed to Pertenhall rectory, Bedfordshire, the home of his cousin, the Rev. John King, who in 1800 resigned the living to the professor's son and only child, John King Martyn, fellow and mathematical lecturer of Sidney Sussex College, and the latter in 1804 resigned it to his father. Here Martyn passed the remainder of his life, his last literary work being to assist Archdeacon Coxe in his edition of Stillingfleet's ‘Tracts,’ 1811, and to contribute a list of plants to Manning and Bray's ‘History of Surrey,’ 1814. He continued to preach until eighty-two years of age, when his biographer, George Cornelius Gorham [q. v.], became his curate. He died at Pertenhall 3 June

Martyn 1825, and was buried in the chancel of his church, where a marble slab was placed to his memory.

He married, 9 Dec. 1773, Martha Elliston, sister of Dr. William Elliston, master of Sidney Sussex College, who survived him, dying 27 Aug. 1829.

From 1760 to 1796 Martyn corresponded with Dr. Richard Pulteney [q. v.], though they did not meet until 1785 (cf. Pulteney, Progress of Botany, ii. 352). Many of their letters are printed in Gorham's 'Life;' and other correspondence of Martyn's, given by him to Banks, is preserved in the botanical department of the British Museum. Martyn was elected F.R.S in 1786, and F.L.S. in 1788, and afterwards acted as vice-president of the latter society.

There is a folio engraving by Vendramini, after an oil-painting of him by Russel, in Thornton's 'Botany,' 1799; an octavo en- graving of the same portrait by Holl; and an octavo engraving by J. Farn of a portrait by S. Drummond, dated 1796.

Martyn's chief works were: 1. 'Plant as Cantabrigienses,' London, 1763, 8vo, the materials for a second edition of which he ultimately gave to Richard Relhan [q. v.] 2. 'The English Connoisseur; containing an Account of whatever is curious in Painting, Sculpture, &c, in the Palaces and Seats of the Nobility and principal Gentry of England,' London, 1766, 2 vols. 8vo, anonymous. 3.

' The Antiquities of Herculaneum,' London, 1773, 4to, in conjunction with John Lettice, as already mentioned. 6. ' Elements of Natural History,' Cambridge, 1775, 8vo, being only the first part, dealing with mammals. 7. ' Letters on the Elements of Botany. . . by ... J. J. Rousseau, translated. . . with. . . twenty-four Additional Letters,' London, 1785, 8vo. 8.

' Sketch of a Tour through Switzerland,' London, 1787, 12mo, also anonymous. 10. 'Thirty-eight Plates ... to illustrate Linnaeus's System. . .,' London, 1788, 8vo, the plates drawn and engraved by F. P. Nodder. 11. 'The Language of Botany ... a Dictionary of Terms,' London, 1793, 12mo, 2nd edit. 1796, 3rd edit, in 8vo, 1807. 12. 'Flora Rustica,' London, 1792-1794, 4 vols. 8vo, issued in numbers, with engravings by Nodder, but discontinued after 144 plants had been figured. 13. 'The Gardener's and Botanist's Dictionary,' by Philip Miller [q. v.], London, 1807, 4 vols, fol.

Martyn also wrote papers in the 'Linnean Transactions,' one on Pozzolana earth, in 'Tracts ... by a Society of Gentlemen of the University of Cambridge,' 1784; three on weeds, in the 'Museum Rusticum,' vols, v. and vi., 1765-6, some issued anonymously, under the initials P. B. C. (Professor Botanices Cantabrigiensis), as were some other articles, chiefly reviews.

 MARTYN, WILLIAM (1562–1617), lawyer and historian, baptised at St. Petrock's, Exeter, 19 Sept. 1562, was the eldest son of Nicholas Martyn of Exeter, by his first wife, Mary, daughter of Lennard Yeo of Hatherleigh. They were married on 19 Oct. 1561, and were both buried at St. Petrock's, Exeter, he on 24 March 1598-9, and she on 26 Sept. 1576. The son, after having been sent to the grammar school at Exeter, matriculated at Broadgates Hall (afterwards Pembroke College), Oxford, in the autumn of 1581 (, Register, vol. ii. pt. ii. p. 99), where, according to Wood, he 'laid an excellent foundation in logic and philosophy.' He was called to the bar at the Middle Temple in 1589, and from 1605 to 1617 held the office of recorder of Exeter. On 7 April 1617 he died at Exeter, and was buried in St. Petrock's Church on 12 April, the inscription which was placed to his memory having been defaced in Wood's time. He married at St. Petrock's, on 28 Nov. 1585, Susan, daughter of Thomas Prestwood of Exeter, by whom he had three sons, Nicholas, William, and Edward, and one daughter, Susan, who married Peter Bevis of Exeter. She was buried at All Hallows, Goldsmith Street, Exeter, on 30 Jan. 1605-6. Martyn married for his second wife Jane, daughter of Henry Huishe of Sands in Sidbury, Devonshire. His eldest son, Nicholas, succeeded to his father's estate of Oxton in Kenton, was knighted at Newmarket, February 1624—1625, elected as member for Devonshire on 23 June 1646, and died on 25 March 1653-4.

Martyn was the author of 'The Historie and Lives of the Kings of England from William the Conqveror vnto the end of the Raigne of Henrie the Eight,' 1615,

Talk:Dictionary of National Biography, 1901 supplement/Simpson, William (1823-1899)

Alexander Hastie Millar has some of his facts wrong.

William Simpson (1791-1879) was NOT the father of William Simpson (artist) (1823-1899).

As the Great Grandson of William Simpson (artist) I am well aware of the true genealogy. Simpson's parents were, in fact,JAMES & ANN SIMPSON. JAMES SIMPSON was born on 25 May 1791 (perhaps this was where Millar was confused - as he had Simpson Snr's birth year correct, but confused with another person)and died in Glasgow on 31 May 1874. James is buried in Sighthill Cemetery. James worked as a labourer in the Glasgow shipyards and was a drunkard and a bully. The family lived in poverty. William frequently had to defend his mother against the drunken violence of his father. William's mother was ANN JOHNSTONE(3 June 1786 - 24 August 1854), and William and his mother share a grave in the dissenters section of Highgate Cemetery in London.

 Probable Cause

The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable cause of this accident was the application of left rudder by the helmsman of the SEADANIEL when the pilot had ordered right rudder. Contributing to this accident was the failure of the ship's officers on the bridge to take any positive action to correct the helmsman's error and the failure of the pilot and master to more closely observe the helmsman's responses to rudder orders in this close quarters situation.

RECOMMENDATIONS

As a result of this accident, the National Transportation Safety Board made the following recommendations:

—to the owners of TESTBANK:

 * Whenever possible, considering the various requirements for vessel safety and ports of call, require that containers with dangerous cargo carried on your vessels be stowed as near the centerline as possible, if "on-deck" stowage is utilized. (Class II, Priority Action) (M-81-36)

—to the U.S. Coast Guard:

 * In conjunction with the Materials Transportation Bureau and the National Cargo Bureau, Inc., conduct an evaluation of the requirement for the stowage of containerized dangerous cargo and, if practicable, require that "on-deck" containerized cargo be stowed as close to the centerline as possible. (Class II, Priority Action) (M-81-37) If stowage of containerized dangerous cargo near the centerline is found to be practical, bring such a requirement to the attention of the appropriate IMCO subcommittee for adoption on the international level. (Class II, Priority Action) (M-81-38)  Conduct an analysis of Mississippi River Gulf Outlet Canal traffic and economics to determine if restricting major vessel traffic to owe-way operation for designated time periods and in particular locations during dangerous cargo transit is warranted. (Class II, Priority Action) (M-81-39)

—to the Materials Transportation Bureau:

 * In conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard and the National Cargo Bureau, Inc., conduct an evaluation of the requirement for the stowage of containerized dangerous cargo and, if practicable, require that "on-deck" containerized dangerous cargo be stowed as close to the centerline as possible. (Class II, Priority Action) (M-81-40)

—to the National Cargo Bureau, Inc.

 * In conjunction with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Material Transportation BureauMaterials Transportation Bureau [sic], conduct an evaluation of the requirement for the stowage of containerized dangerous cargo and, if practicable, require that "on-deck" containerized dangerous cargo be stowed as close to the centerline as possible. (Class II, Priority Action) (M-81-41)

 BY THE NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD

JAMES B. KING, Chairman, and PATRICIA A. GOLDMAN, Member, did not participate.

FRANCIS H. MCADAMS, Member, filed the following concurring and dissenting statement.

I do not agree with the majority opinion wherein it is concluded that contributing to the cause of this accident was the failure of the pilot of the SEADANIEL to more closely observe the helmsman's response to rudder orders.

The pilot was immediately aware that the helmsman had not followed his order of hard right rudder when he saw that the rudder angle indicator was pointing hard left. At this point he again ordered hard right rudder, accompanied by a hand signal, neither of which was obeyed by the helmsman.

In my opinion the pilot took immediate reasonable and prudent action to avoid the collision, but to no avail.

  preliminary verses from his three sons and his son-in-law, and an appendix of 'succession of dukes and earles' and other particulars. A second edition appeared in 1628, which was illustrated with portraits of the kings by R. Elstrack, most of which were sold by 'Compton Holland over against the Exchange,' To the third edition in 1638 was added 'The Historie of King Ed. VI, Queene Mary, and Q. Elizabeth, by B. R., Mr of Arts,' which were much longer than all the rest of the lives put together. Fuller had been 'credibly informed' that James I took exception to some passages of this book, and that although the king was subsequently reconciled to him, the incident shortened Martyn's days. He also wrote 'Youth's Instruction,' 1612 (2nd edit.1613), for the benefit of his son Nicholas, then a student at Oxford. Each impression contained verses by his son-in-law, and to the second was prefixed a set by his son William.

MARVELL, ANDREW, the elder (1586?–1641), divine, born at Meldreth in Cambridgeshire about 1586, was educated at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. In 1608 he took the degree of M.A. In 1610 he is found signing the registers of Flamborough in Yorkshire as 'minister' and in 1611 as 'curate.' Three years later he was given the living of Winestead in Holderness, to which he was inducted on 23 April 1614. In 1624 he removed to Hull as master of the grammar school there, and became about the same time master of the Charterhouse and lecturer at Holy Trinity Church. He was drowned on 23 Jan. 1640-1, while crossing the Humber (, Biog. Brit. v. 3052;, Hist. of Hull, ed. 1735, p. 141; , Works of Andrew Marvell, 1872, vol. i. Pref. pp. xx, xxv, xxxi; , Worthies, ed. Nichols, i. 165).

Marvell married twice: (1) Anne Pease, 22 Oct. 1612; (2) Lucy, daughter of John Alured, and widow of William Harris, Nov. 1638. By his first wife, who was buried in Holy Trinity Church, Hull, on April 1638, Marvell had three daughters and two sons, viz.: Anne, born 1615, married in 1633 James Blaydes; Mary, born 1617, married Edmond Popple in 1636; Elizabeth, born 1618, married Robert More in 1639; Andrew the poet, born 1621, the subject of a separate article; John, born 1623, died 1624 (, vol. i. pp. xxxii, xiv;, Poems of Andrew Marvell, vol. i. pp. xx).

Marvell is described by his son, in the second part of the 'Rehearsal Transprosed,' as 'having lived with some measure of reputation both for piety and learning, and was moreover a conformist to the established rites of the church of England, though none of the most over-running or eager in them' (, iii. 322). Fuller describes him as i most facetious in his discourse, yet grave in his carriage, a most excellent preacher, who, like a good husband, never broached what he had new-brewed, but preached what he had prestudied some competent time before' (Worthies, ed. Nichols, i. 165). In December 1637, when John Ramsden, the mayor of Hull, was carried off by the plague, Marvell 'ventured to give his corpse Christian burial, and preached a most excellent sermon, which was afterwards printed' (, manuscript 'History of Hull,' quoted in the Diary of Abraham de la Pryme, ed. by C. Jackson, p. 286). No copy of this sermon, however, is in either the Bodleian or the British Museum. A number of manuscript sermons and other papers of Marveil's in the possession of Mr. E. S. Wilson of Hull are described by Dr. Grosart (, Works, vol. i. p. xxv). Fuller, writing in 1662, says: 'His excellent comment upon St. Peter is daily desired and expected, if the envy and covetousness of pri- vate persons, for their own use, deprive not the public of the benefit thereof (, i. 165). A portion of an epistolary controversy between Marvell and the Rev. Richard Harrington of Marfleet is printed in Mr. T. T. Wildridge's 'Hull Letters' (p. 164). An elegy on Marvell, said to be from a parish register in the north of Yorkshire, is given in 'Notes and Queries,' 3rd ser. ii. 227.

MARVELL, ANDREW (1621–1678), poet and satirist, son of the elder [q. v.], was born on 31 March 1621 at Winestead in Holderness, Yorkshire, and was educated under his father at the grammar school of Hull. He matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge, 14 Dec. 1633, as a sizar. A tradition, first recorded in Cooke's 'Life of Marvell' in 1726, states that shortly after entering the university he fell under the influence of some Jesuits, and was persuaded by them to leave Cambridge for London. His father discovered him in a book-seller's shop, and prevailed with him to return to the college (, Works of Andrew Marvell, ed. 1772, i. 5). He contributed two copies of verses to 'Musa Cantabrigiensis' in

 APPENDIX B

CREWMEMBER INFORMATION

SEADANIEL

Pilot Clement B. Hingle

Clement B. Hingle, 51, at the time of the accident was a pilot with the Louisiana State Commission of River pilots, for the Crescent River Port Pilot's Association, New Orleans, Louisiana, unit #26. He had worked as a pilot about 18 1/2 years. Before becoming a Crescent River Pilot, he had been employed for 10 years with the Port Sulphur Company as a mate and captain of a river towboat. He held a first-class pilot's license, unlimited tonnage, from the Huey P. Long Bridge to sea, via South and Southwest Pass, Lake Ponchartrain to the Industrial Canal, Michod Turn, and also from the Intracostal Waterway to sea on the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet. He was a pilot for 3 to 4 years before the MRGO was opened as a ship channel. He has been navigating MRGO for about 15 years as a pilot and had piloted vessels similar to the SEADANIEL "many times."

Master Yung Kwang Tien

YUNG KWANG TIEN, 57, held a Seaman's Certificate #954485 and was issued a "Captains" authorization on February 16, 1967, by the Consul General of Panama at Hong Kong. He was also issued a current Masters "Certificate of Capacity #10124" by the Consul General of Panama at Hong Kong on June 23, 1978, a "License of Competence to Merchant Marine Officer" dated December 2, 1971, as Master from the Democratic Republic of Somalia, at Paris, France, and a "License of Competence to Merchant Marine" dated April 26, 1977 as Master by the Republic of Liberia.

He graduated from the Navigation Department of the "Communication University" in China and received his second mate's license about 1949, and his chief mate's license from British authorities about 1962. In 1965, he received his first master's license from Liberia, Panama, and Somalia.

Helmsman Keung Chi Chau

Keung Chi Chau, 40, had been on board the SEADANIEL for 2 months at the time of the accident, after joining the ship in Panama. He had been sailing since 1962 but this was his first time up the MRGO. He started as a deck hand, and had been a quarter master for 6 or 7 years. His seaman's papers were issued by the government of Hong Kong. He did not speak English, but understood course and rudder comments in English which he learned while sailing as a deck hand. He assisted in steering upon the SEADANIEL's departure from Panama, steering the vessel in the canal about 4 hrs, and was steering when the ship arrived in Tsam Kong, China.

Third Mate Au Veung Yuk Yam

Au Veung Yuk Yam, 40, had been on the SEADANIEL since June 9, 1980, about 1 1/2 months. He had been sailing since 1963 and had been a third mate since 1971. He sailed as a "sailor" and a helmsman before being licensed as a third mate by the Panama Consulate in Hong Kong. With the consent and endorsement of the company and the captain, he was qualified as a third mate after undergoing training on board ship; he had had no formal training. He was issued a second mate's license by the Panamanian Consulate

The Dead Woman

Dead Woman by Dr. David H. Keller

He was found in the room with his wife, slightly con¬fused, a trifle bewildered, but otherwise apparently normal. He made no effort to conceal his con¬duct any more than he did to the knife in his hand or the pieces in the trunk.

Fortunately the inspector was an officer of more than usual intelli¬gence, and there was no effort made to give the third degree or even se¬cure a written confession. Perhaps the Police Department felt it was too plain a case. At least it was handled intelligently and in a most scientific manner. The man was well fed, carefully bedded, and the next morning, after being bathed and shaved was taken to see a psychi¬atrist.

The specialist in mental diseases had the man comfortably seated. Knowing he smoked, he offered a cigar, which was accepted. Then, in a quiet, pleasant atmosphere, he made one statement and one request.

“I am sure, Mr. Thompson, that you had an excellent reason for act¬ing as you did the other day. I wish you would tell me all about it.”

THE man gazed at the psychiatrist. “Will you believe me if I tell you?”

“I will accept every part of your story with the idea that you are con¬vinced that you are telling me the truth.”

“That is all I want,” whispered Thompson. “If everyone I talked to in the past had done that, if they had even tried to check up on my story, perhaps this would not have happened. But they always thought that I was the sick one, and there was not one who was willing to ac¬cept my statement about the worms.

“I suppose that I was happily mar¬ried. At least as much so as most men are. You know that there is a good deal of conflict between the sexes, and there were a few differ¬ences of opinion between Mrs. Thompson and myself. But not enough to cause serious difficulty. Will you remember that? That we did not quarrel very much?

“About a year ago my wife’s health began to give me considerable cause for worry. She started to fail. If you are a married man, Doctor, you know there is always that anxiety about the wife’s health. You become ac¬customed to living with a woman, having her do things for you, go to places with you and you think about how life would be if she should sicken and die. Perhaps the fact that you are uneasy about the future makes you exaggerate the importance of her symptoms.

“At any rate she became sick, de¬veloped a nasty cough and lost weight. I spoke to her about it and even bought a bottle of beef, wine and iron at the drug store and made her take it. She did so to please me, but she never would admit that she was sick. Said it was fashionable to be thin and that the cough was just nervousness.

“She would not go to see a doctor. When I spoke to her mother about it, the old lady just laughed at me; said that if I tried to make Lizzie a little happier she would soon get fat. In fact, none of our family or our friends seemed to feel that there was anything wrong with Mrs. Thomp¬son, so I stopped talking about it.

“Of course it was not easy on me, the way she coughed at night, and her staying awake so much. I work hard in the daytime and it is hard to lose a lot of sleep. At last I was forced to ask her to let me sleep in the spare bedroom.

“Even that did not help much. I could hear her cough, and when she did fall asleep I would have to tip¬toe into her room and see if she was all right. Her coughing bothered me so much that when she did not cough it worried me more because I thought something had happened to her.

“One night the thing I was afraid of happened. She had a hard spell of coughing and then she stopped. It was quiet in the house. I could hear the clock on the landing tick, and a mouse gnawing wood in the attic. I thought I could even hear my own heart beat, but there was not a sound of any kind from the other bedroom.

“When I went in there and turned on the light I just knew it was all over. Of course I was not sure. A bookkeeper is not supposed to be an expert in such matters, so I went and telephoned for our doctor. On the way to the phone I wondered just what I should say, for he had always insisted that my wife was in grand health. So I simply told him that Mrs. Thompson was not looking well and would he come over. Just like that I told him, and tried to keep my voice steady.

“It was about an hour before he came. He went into the bedroom but I stopped at the doorway. He spent sometime listening to her heart and feeling her pulse and then he straightened up and said to me:

‘“She is fine. Just fast asleep. I wish I could sleep as soundly as that. What did you think was wrong?’

“That surprised me so much that all I could do was to stammer something about not hearing her cough any more. He laughed.

“ ‘You worry too much about her, Mr. Thompson.’

“Right there my difficulty started. Here was a doctor who was supposed to know his business and he said there was nothing wrong with my wife, and there I was, just a book¬keeper, and I just knew what was the matter. What was I to do? Tell him that he was wrong? Send for another physician?

“It was growing light by that time, so I went down to the kitchen and started the coffee. I often did that. Then I shaved, and made ready to go to the office. But before I went I sat down a while by the wife’s bed. It bothered me but I had to keep telling myself that the doctor knew better than I did.

Before leaving the house I phoned to my mother-in-law. Just told her that Lizzie was not feel¬ing well and would she come over and spend the day, and she could get me at the office any time she called. Then I left the house. It felt better out in the sunshine and after work¬ing a few hours over the books I al¬most laughed at myself for being so foolish.

“No telephone calls from the old lady. I arrived home at six and found the house lighted as usual. My wife and mother-in-law were waiting for me in the parlor and told me supper was ready. Naturally, I was surprised to see my wife out of bed.

“At the supper table I watched her just as carefully as I could without making the two of them suspicious of me. Mrs. Thompson ate about as she usually did, just pieced and minced at her food, but I thought when she swallowed that the food went down with a jerk, and there was a stiffness when she moved.

“But her mother did not seem to think there was anything wrong, at least she did not make any comment. Even when I went with her to the front door to say good night to her and we were alone there, she never said a word to show that she thought her daughter was peculiar.

“I started to wash the dishes after that. I often washed the dishes at night while the wife sat in the front parlor watching the people go up and down past the house. After the kitchen was tidy I lit a cigar and went into the parlor and started a little conversation, but Mrs. Thomp¬son never talked back. In fact I do not believe she ever talked to me after that, though I am positive that she talked to the others.

“When the cigar was smoked, I just said good night and went to bed. Later I could hear her moving around in her room, and then all was quiet so she must have gone to bed. She did not cough any more. I congrat-ulated myself on that one thing be¬cause the coughing had kept me awake a good deal.

“During the night I lit a candle and, shading it with my hand, tip¬toed in to see her. She had her eyes open, but they were rolled back so all you could see was the whites, and she was not breathing. At least I could not tell that she was breath¬ing ; and when I held a mirror in front of her mouth there was no vapor on it. My mother had told me the purpose of that when I was a boy. “The next day was just the same. My mother-in-law came and spent ,the day. I came home at night and ate supper with them and washed the dishes. The water was hot and it was a pleasure to make them clean. Perhaps I took longer than usual at it because I did not fancy the idea of going into the front parlor where the wife was sitting looking out of the window.

“But I went in, tonight without the usual cigar. I wanted to use my nose. It seemed there was a peculiar odor in the house, like flowers that had been put in a vase of water and then forgotten, for many days. Perhaps you know the odor, Doctor, a heavy one, like lilies of the valley in a small closed room. It was specially strong in the parlor, where Mrs. Thompson was sitting, and it seemed to come from her. I had to light the cigar after a while, and by and by I said good night, and went to bed. She never spoke to me, in fact she did not seem to pay any attention to me. “About two that morning I took the candle and went in to look at her. Her eyelids were open and her eyeballs were rolled back just like they had been the night before but now her jaw was dropped and her cheeks sunk in. I just could not do anything but telephone for a doctor and this time I picked out a total stranger, just pickcd his name out of the telephone book haphazard.

“What good did it do? None at all. He came, he examined Mrs. Thompson very carefully and he simply said that he did not see any¬thing wrong with her; and then down in the front hall he turned on me and asked me just why I had sent for him and what I thought was the matter with her? Of course I just could not tell him the truth, with his being a doctor and I being just a bookkeeper.

Mother-in-law went to the mountains next day for the summer and that left us alone. Break¬fast as usual and to the office and not a word all day from the house. When I came back at night the house was lit and supper was on the table and the wife at her end as usual and the food served and on the plates. She ate, but her movements were slower, and when she swallowed you could see the food go down by jerks, and her eyes were sunken into the sockets and seemed shiny and— well, like the eyes of a fish on the stalls.

“There were flowers on the table, but the smell was something differ¬ent, it was sweeter and when I took a deep breath it was just hard for me to go on eating the pork chops and potatoes. You see it was summer time and warm, and in spite of the screens there was a fly or two in the house, and when I saw one walking around on her lip and she not mak¬ing any effort to brush it off, I just couldn’t keep on eating. Had to go and start washing the dishes. Per¬haps you can understand how I felt, Doctor. Things looked rather odd.

“The next day I phoned to the office that I would not be there and I sent for a taxi and took Mrs. Thompson to a first class specialist. He must have been good because he charged me twenty-five dollars just for the office call. I went in first and told him just exactly what I was afraid of, and I did not mince my words, and then we had the wife in.

“He examined her, even her blood, and all the satisfaction I got was that she seemed a trifle anaemic, but that I had better take a nerve tonic and a vacation or I would be sick.

“Things looked rather twisted after that. Either I was right and every¬body else wrong, or they were right and I was just about	as wrong men¬tally as a	man could be. But I had to believe my senses. A man just has to believe what he sees and hears and feels, and when I thought over that office visit, and the wife smiling and the doctor sticking her finger for the blood to examine, it just seemed im¬possible. Anaemic! Why—that was a simple word to describe her condition.

“That night the flies were worse than usual. I	went to the corner store and bought a fly spray and used it in her bedroom but they kept coming in, the big blue ones, you know. Seemed as though they just had to come in and I could not keep them off her face so at last, in des¬peration, I covered her head up with a towel and went to sleep. I had to work, the interest on the mortgage was due and the man wanted some¬thing on the principal, and it was a good house and all I had in the world to show for twenty years of hard work keeping books.

“The next day was just like all the days had been, except that I made more mistakes with the books and my boss spoke to me about it. And when I arrived home supper was not ready though Mrs. Thompson was in the parlor and the lights on. The heavy odor was worse than usual and there were a lot of flies. You could hear them buzz and strike against the electric lights. I got my own supper but I couldn’t eat much, thinking of her in the parlor and the flies settling on her open mouth.

“She just sat there that night in the parlor till I went to her and took her arm to lead her up the stairs. She was cold and on each cheek there was a heavy purple blotch forming. Once she was in her room she seemed to move around so I left her alone and when I went into her room later on she was in bed.

“It had been a hard week for me, so I sat down by her bed and tried to think, but the more I thought the worse things seemed. The night was hot and the flies kept buzzing; just thinking of the past and how we used to go to the movies together and laugh and sometimes come near cry¬ing, and how we used to bluff about the fact that perhaps it was just as well we didn’t have a child so long as we had each other, knowing all the time that she was eating her heart out for longing to be a mother and blaming me for her loneliness.

“The thinking was too much for me so I thought I might as well smoke another cigar and go to bed and try to keep better books the next day and hold my job—and then I saw the little worm crawl out.

“Right then and there, I knew that something had to be done. It didn’t make any difference what the doctors or her mother said, something had to be done and I was the one who had to do it.

“I telephoned for an undertaker.

“Met him downstairs.

“ ‘It will be a private funeral,’ I told him, ‘and no publicity, and I think after you are through you will have no trouble obtaining a physi¬cian’s certificate.’

“He went up stairs. In about five minutes he came down stairs.

“ ‘I must have gone to the wrong room,’ he said.

“ ‘The second story front bedroom,’ I replied.

“ ‘But the woman there is not dead,’ he said.

“I paid him for his trouble and shut the door in his face. Was I helpless? Doctor, you have to believe me. I was at the end of my rope. I had tried every way I knew and there was not anything left to do. No one believed me. No one agreed with me. It seemed more and more as though they thought I was insane.

It was impossible to keep her in the house longer. My health was giving way. Working all day at figures that were going wrong all the time and coming back night after night cooking my supper and sleep¬ing in a room next to the thing that had been my wife. What with the smell of lilies of the valley and the buzz of flies and the constant dread in my mind of how things would be the next day and the next week, and the mortgage due. I had to do something.

“And it seemed to me that she wanted me to. It seemed that she recognized that things were not right, that she was entitled to a dif¬ferent kind of an ending. I tried to put myself in her place and I knew what I would want done with me if things were reversed.

“So I brought the trunk up from the cellar. We had used that trunk on our wedding trip and every sum¬mer -since on our vacations and I thought that she would be more at peace in that trunk than in a new one. But when I had the trunk by her bed, I saw at once that it was too small unless I used a knife.

“That seemed to be the proper thing to do, and I was sure that it would not hurt her. For days she had been past hurting. I told her I was sorry but it just had to be done and if people had just believed me things could have been arranged in a nicer way. Then I started.

“Things were confused after that.

“I seem to remember a scream and blood spurting, and the next thing there were a lot of people in the house and they arrested me.

“And that is the peculiar part of it all, Doctor. Perhaps you do not know it but I am accused of murder¬ing my wife. Now I have told you all about it, Doctor, and I just want to ask you one question. If you had been in my place, day after day, and night after night, what would you have done, Doctor? What would any man have done who loved his wife?”

 1637, and on 13 April 1638 was admitted a scholar of Trinity College. He graduated B. A. in the same year, and the college records show that he left Cambridge before September 1641 (, Complete Works of Andrew Marvell, 1872, vol. i. pp. xxvii, xxxiii).

The next ten years of Marvell's life are extremely obscure. He spent four years abroad, probably 1642 to 1646, travelled in Holland, France, Italy, and Spain, and met and satirised [q. v.] at Home. Two poems published in 1649, the one prefixed to the poems of [q. v.], the other in the collection on the death of Lord Hastings, afford evidence of his return to England. The lines to Lovelace, together with the stanzas on the execution of the king in the ' Horatian Ode,' and the satire on the death of [q. v.], have been taken to prove that Marvell's early sympathies were with the royalist cause. They really show that he judged the civil war as a spectator rather than a partisan, and felt that literature was above parties.

Marvell first came into contact with the heads of the Commonwealth when Lord Fairfax engaged him as tutor to his daughter Mary, probably in 1650 or 1651. He lived for some time in Fairfax's house at Nun Appleton in Yorkshire, where he addressed to Fairfax his lines, 'Upon the Hill and Grove at Bilborow' and 'Upon Appleton House.' The poems on gardens and in praise of country life, and the translation from Seneca, in which the poet desires to pass his life 'in calm leisure' and 'far off the public stage,' belong to this period. By 1653 the delights of retirement had begun to pall, and Marvell sought for a post in the service of the Commonwealth. He had now become an ardent republican, and in his 'Character of Holland ' describes the new state as 'darling of heaven and of men the care.'

On 21 Feb. 1653 Milton, who was by this time totally blind, recommended Marvell's appointment as his assistant in the secretaryship for foreign tongues. He described him to Bradshaw, the president of the council of state, as 'a man, both by report and by the converse I have had with him, of singular desert for the state to make use of who also offers himself if there be any employment for him. … He hath spent four years abroad in Holland, France, Italy, and Spain, to very good purpose, as I believe, and the gaining of these four languages; besides, he is a scholar and well read in the Latin and Greek authors, and no doubt of an approved conversation, for he comes now lately out of the house of the Lord Fairfax, where he was entrusted to give some instruction in the languages to the lady his daughter. If, upon the death of Mr. Weckherlin, the Council shall think I need any assistance in the performance of my place … it would be hard for them to find a man so fit every way for that purpose as this gentleman' (, vol. i. p. xxxvii;, Life of Milton, iv. 478; , Milton Papers, p. 22). In spite, however, of this recommendation, [q. v.] was appointed (October 1653). Meanwhile Marvell in a private capacity became connected with Cromwell, being chosen as tutor to Cromwell's ward, William Hut ton. With Dutton Marvell went to reside at Eton, in the house of John Oxenbridge, one of the fellows of the college. On 28 July 1653 he wrote thence to Cromwell, describing the character of his pupil, and thanking Cromwell for placing them both in so godly a family (, ii. 3;, iv. 618; , Papers and Letters addressed to Oliver Cromwell, 1743, p. 98). Oxenbridge, when his puritanism had lost him his English preferments, had been a minister in the Bermudas, and his experiences doubtless suggested Marvell's poem on those islands. In his epitaph on Mrs. Oxenbridge he celebrates the fidelity with which she had followed her husband 'ad incertam Bermudse insulam' (, ii . 6). At Eton Marvell learnt to know [q. v.] 'I account it no small honour,' he wrote in the 'Rehearsal Transprosed,' 'to have grown up into some part of his acquaintance, and conversed awhile with the living remains of one of the clearest heads and best prepared breasts in Christendom' (ib. iii. 126). He kept up also his acquaintance with Milton, who sent him in 1654 a copy of his 'Defensio Secunda,' which Marvell praised for its ' Roman eloquence,' and compared to Trajan's column as a monument of Milton's many learned victories (ib. ii. 11;, iv. 620). In 1657, probably about September, Marvell was at last appointed Milton's colleague in the Latin secretaryship, at a salary of 200l. a year. In the summer of 1658 he was employed in the reception of the Dutch ambassador and of the agent of the elector of Brandenburg (, vii. 298, 373, 487;, v. 374). He continued to act under the governments of Richard Cromwell and the restored Long parliament, and was voted lodgings in Whitenall by the council of state (ib. v. 624; Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1659-60, p. 27).

Though Waller's 'Panegyric' gained more contemporary fame, Marvell is the poet of Cromwell and the Protectorate. In the summer of 1650 he had written the 'Hora-

 on July 27, 1976, in Hong Kong, qualifying on the basis of at least 3 years experience as a third made; he had four. There was no qualifying examination for either license. His radar training was on board a ship during its routine operation.

TESTBANK

Pilot Douglas J. Grubbs

Douglas J. Grubbs, 36, at the time of the accident was a pilot with the Louisiana State Commission of River Pilots and the Crescent River Pilot's Association, unit #78. He was licensed for the Mississippi River from Huey P. Long Bridge to the Head of the Pass, Industrial Canal to Lake Ponchartrain, and MRGO to Light 78. He had been a pilot for 11 years, and was licensed since 1966. He started sailing as a deck hand and mate on local harbor tugs and seagoing tugs from about 1963 until 1969. He had sailed about 5 years as a tugboat master, including service on oceangoing tugs, before becoming a Crescent River Port Pilot. He had been sailing on the MRGO since 1964 and had piloted many ships similar to the TESTBANK, but had never piloted the TESTBANK before. He estimated that he had piloted over 1,000 ships in the 11 years he had worked on MRGO.

Master Willfried Simmat

Willfried Simmat, 41, had been master of the TESTBANK since it was launched in September/October 1978. He had been sailing as a master for 16 years and had sailed for 9 years before that. He started as a deck boy and then became an AB, working up to apprentice officer. He went to "nautical school" and received his officer's license. He sailed 3 years as an officer, returned to school, and obtained his master's license. He had sailed about nine consecutive trips using the MRGO to New Orleans. Captain Simmat held a license as master issued at Aurich, Germany, on September 1, 1964, a radio operator's license issued on December 20, 1974, at Bremen Germany, and an engineer's license for up to 600 hp issued at Kiel, Germany on April 1, 1957.

Helmsman Michael Simmat

Michael Simmat, 17, works as an officer apprentice on board the TESTBANK. He had been on board about 6 weeks but had previously made a trip on the vessel on the MRGO the preceding year. He had been working summers on board ships with his father for 5 or 6 years. His seaman's papers were issued in Germany. For the past year, he had been enrolled in a Merchant Marine Officers School.

 Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland,' first published in 1776. In 1653 he composed the Latin verses to be sent with Cromwell's portrait to Christina of Sweden. In 1655 he published, though anonymously, his poem on 'The First Anniversary of the Government under his Highness the Lord Protector,' which breathes unbounded admiration for Cromwell and complete confidence in his government. In November 1657 he celebrated the marriage of Mary Cromwell and Lord Fauconberg in two pastoral songs, in which the bride and bridegroom appear as Cynthia and Endymion,and the Protector as 'Jove himself,' Another poem written in the same year, describing Blake's victory at Santa Cruz, is throughout addressed to the Protector, and was probably presented to him by the poet himself. This series of Cromwellian poems closes with the elegy, 'Upon the Death of his late Highness the Lord Protector,' which of all the poems on that subject is the only one distinguished by an accent of sincerity and personal affection. Marvell gave Richard Cromwell the same unwavering support. 'A Cromwell,' he observes in the elegy, 'in an hour a prince will grow,' As member for Hull in Richard Cromwell's parliament he voted throughout with the government against the republican opposition. 'They have much the odds in speaking,' says one of his letters, 'but it is to be hoped our justice, our affection, and our number, which is at least two-thirds, will wear them out at the long run' (, Marvell's Poems, i. xxix).

At the Restoration, however, as Marvell's political poems were, with one exception, unpublished, his devotion to Cromwell and his house did not stand in his way. He was again elected member for Hull in April 1660, and for a third time in April 1661. Marvell owed his elections partly to his connection with various local families, and partly to his own efficiency as a representative of local interests. Hull kept up the old custom of paying its members, and the records of the corporation show that Marvell and his colleague, Colonel Anthony Gilby, regularly received their fee of 6s. 8d. per day 'for knights' pence, being their fee as burgesses of parliament 'as long as the sessions lasted (, ii. xxxv). Marvell, on his part, vigilantly guarded the interests of his constituents, and regularly informed the corporation of the progress of public affairs and of all private or public legislation in which they were concerned. A series of about three hundred letters of this nature is preserved among the Hull records, and has been printed by Dr. Grosart (, Works, vol. ii.)

Twice during the early part of the reign of Charles II Marvell was for some time absent from his parliamentary duties. In 1663 he was in Holland on business of his own; but though [q. v.], the high steward of Hull, urged that a new member should be elected in his place, the corporation simply sent him 'a courteous and prudent' letter of recall (ib. ii. 86). In July 1663, by leave of parliament and his constituents, Marvell accompanied Charles Howard, first earl of Carlisle, in his embassy to Russia, Sweden, and Denmark in the capacity of secretary. He did not return till January 1665, though the mission was originally intended to take only one year (ib. ii. 93–7, i. xlviii). An account of the mission, containing Latin letters and speeches composed by Marvell, was printed in 1669, 'A Relation of three Embassies from his Sacred Majesty Charles II to the great Duke of Muscovy, &c, performed by the Earl of Carlisle in the Years 1663 and 16&4,' 8vo [by Guy Miège]; reprinted in Harris's 'Collection of Voyages,' 1705, vol. ii.; copious extracts are given by Grosart (ii. 100–82). In 1671 Marvell again contemplated absenting himself from parliament. 'I think it will be my lot,' he writes, 'to go on an honest fair employment to Ireland,' but the plan came to nothing (ib. ii. 392).

As a member of parliament Marvell rarely intervened in debate, and as late as 1677 concludes a speech with the apology that he was not used to speak there, and consequently expressed himself with abruptness (, Debates, 1763, iv. 324). He had some influence, however, and Edward Philips attributes Milton's impunity at the Restoration largely to Marvell, who in the House of Commons acted vigorously in his behalf and made a considerable party for him (Letters of State, by Mr. John Milton, to which is added an Account of his Life, 1694, p. xxxviii). On 17 Dec. 1660 he complained to the house of the exorbitant fees which the serjeant-at-arms had exacted of Milton, and succeeded in getting the question referred to a committee (Old Parliamentary History, xxiii. 54). In 1667 Marvell spoke twice during the discussions on Clarendon's impeachment, and also made a violent attack on Arlington (, i. 14, 36, 70; cf., Arlington's letters to Sir W. Temple, 1701, p. 226). His most important speech, however, was one delivered upon the second reading of the Bill for Securing the Protestant Religion, on 27 March 1677, in which he opposed the bill on the ground of the exorbitant power which it would give to the bishops if a catholic prince ascended the throne (,

A.D. 1605 said Shire, Limit, Division, or Liberty: (3) And if at the said next Assizes and General Gaol-delivery or Sessions the same Offender so proclaimed shall not make Appearance of Record, that then upon every such Default recorded, the same shall be as sufficient a Conviction in Law of the said Offence whereof the Party shall stand indicted as aforesaid, as if upon the same, Indictment a Trial by Verdict thereupon had proceeded, and been found against him or her, and recorded.

VIII. And be it further enacted, That every Offender in not repairing to Divine Service, but for bearing the same, contrary to the Statutes in that Behalf made and provided, that hereafter shall fortune to be thereof once convicted, shall in such of the Terms of Easter and Michaelmas as shall be next after such Conviction, pay into the Receipt of the Exchequer after the Rate of twenty Pounds for every Month which shall be contained in the Indictment whereupon such Conviction shall be; (2) and shall also for every Month after such Conviction, without any other Indictment or Conviction, forfeit twenty Pounds, and pay into the Receipt of the Exchequer aforesaid, at two Times in the Year, that is to say, in every Easter and Michaelmas Term, as much as then shall remain unpaid, after the Rate of twenty Pounds for every Month after such Conviction; (3) except in such Cases where the King shall and may by Force of this Act refuse the same, and take two Parts of the Lands, Tenements, Hereditaments, Leases and Farms of such Offender, till the said Party being indicted for not coming to Church, contrary to former Laws, shall conform himself and come to Church, according to the meaning of the Statute in that Behalf made and provided.

IX. And that every Conviction recorded for any Offence before-mentioned, shall from the Justices before whom; the Record of such Conviction shall be remaining, be certified into the King's Majesty's Court of Exchequer, before the End of the Term following such Conviction, in such convenient Certainty for the Time and other Circumstances, as the Court of Exchequer may thereupon award Out Process for the Seizure of the Lands and Goods of every such Offender, as the Case shall require: (2) And if Default shall be made in any Part of any Payment aforesaid, contrary to the Form herein before limited, that then and so often the King's Majefsy, his Heirs and Successors, shall and may by Process out of the said Exchequer, take, seize and enjoy all the Goods, and two Parts as well or all the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Leases and Farms of such Offender, as of all other the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments liable to such Seizure, or to the Penalties aforesaid, by the true Meaning of this Act, leaving the third Part only of the same Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Leases and Farms, to and for the Maintenance and Relief of the said Offender, his Wife, Children and Family.

X. And whereas by an Act made in the Session of Parliament holden by Prorogation at Westminster in the three and twentieth Year of the Reign of the late Queen Elizabeth, intituled, "An Act to retain the Subjedts of the said late Queen in their due Obedience", It was amongst other Things enacted by Authority of the said Parliament, That every Person above the Age of sixteen Years, by Forfeiture, which should not repair to some Church, Chapel, or usual Place of Common Prayer, but forbear the same contrary to the Tenor of a Statute made in the first Year of the Reign of the said late Queen, for Uniformity of Common Prayer, and being thereof ,lawfully convicted, should forfeit to the said Queen, for every Month after the End of the said. Session of Parliament which he or she should so forbear, twenty Pounds of lawful English Money, as in and by the said Act of Parliament more at large appeareth:'

XI. And whereas afterward by another Act of Parliament of the said Queen, it was further enacted by the Authority of the said Parliament (amongst other Things) how and when the said Payments of the said twenty Pounds should be made, and that if Default should be made in any Part of any Payment of the said twenty Pounds, contrary to the Form in the said last specified Statute limited, that then and so often the said Queen should and might by Process out of her Highness Exchequer take, seize and enjoy all the Goods, and two Parts as well of all the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Leases and Farms of such Offender, as of all other the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments liable to such Seizure or to the Penalties aforesaid, by the true Meaning of the said Act of Parliament, leaving the third Part only of the same Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Leases and Farms, to and for the Maintenance and Relief of the fame Offender, his Wife, Children and Family, as in and by the last specified Statute more at large also may appear: (2) Now forasmuch as the said Penalty of twenty Pounds monthly is a greater Burden unto Men of small Living, than unto such as are of better Ability and do refuse to come unto Divine. Service, as aforesaid, who rather than they will have two Parts of their Lands to be seized, will be ready always to pay the said twenty Pounds according to the Limitatation of the said Statutes, and yet retain the Residue of their Livings and Inheritance in their own Hands, being of great yearly Value, which they do for the most Part employ (as Experience hath taught) to the Maintenance of Superstition and Popish Religion, and to the Relief of Jesuits, Seminaries, Popish Priests, and other dangerous Persons to the State; (3) Therefore to the Intent that hereafter the Penalty for not repairing to Divine Service might be inflicted in better Proportion upon Men of great Ability;'   (4) Be it enacted by the Authority of this present Parliament, That the King's The King may Majesty, his Heirs and Successors, shall from and after the Feast of Saint Michael the Archangel next coming after the End of this Session of Parliament, have full Power and Liberty to refuse twenty Pounds a Month, though it be tendred ready to be paid according to the Law, and thereupon to seize and take to his own Use, and the Uses, Intents and Purposes hereafter limited, two Parts in three Parts to be divided, as well of all the Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments, Leases and Farms that at the Time of such Seizure shall be, or afterward shall come to any the said Offenders in not coming to Church, or any other to his or her Use, or in Trust for him or her, or at his or her Disposition, or whereby or wherewith, or in Consideration whereof, such Offender or his Family, or any of them, shall be relieved, maintained or kept, as of all other Lands, Tenements and Hereditaments in any wife or at any Time liable to such Seizure, or to the Penalties, aforesaid, and the same to retain to his, own and other

Marvell iv. 321; cf. , iv. 338-53). The anger of the supporters of the bill is the best testimony to the effectiveness of this speech. Two days later, on the pretext that Marvell had struck another member and disputed the Authority of the speaker, it was moved that he should be sent to the Tower, but there proved to be so little foundation for the charge that the motion was dropped (Grey, iv. 328).

Marvell's political influence was due more to his writings than to his action in parliament, and the value of his parliamentary position consisted in the unequalled opportunities it gave him for observing contemporary politics. His letters to his constituents Are, as a rule, simply a colourless record of facts, but in a few to private friends he speaks out. He notes the king's continual demands for money and his squanderings of the public treasure. One of his happiest pieces of prose satire is a sham speech of Charles II on the state, of his finances (, ii. 431). In one letter he complains that all promotions, spiritual and temporal, pass under the cognisance of the Duchess of Cleveland; in another, that those ministers are most in favour who, like Lauderdale, deserved a halter rather than a garter. Abroad, he says, 'we truckle to France in all things to the prejudice of our honour;' at home 'the Court is at the highest pitch of want and luxury, and the people full of discontent. Never had any poor people so many complicated mortal incurable and dangerous diseases' (ib. pp. 314, 390, 392, 395).

Parliament, which should have cured these ills, had become the subservient tool of the government. 'In such a conjuncture,' writes Marvell in 1670, 'what probability is there of my doing anything to the purpose?' He came to despair of effecting anything by parliamentary action. 'We are all venal cowards except some few,' The old 'country party,' which he had celebrated in his 'Last Instructions to a Painter' (11. 240-306), was now broken up, and the ranks of the 'constant courtiers' had been so swelled by 'apostate patriots' that it 'was a mercy they give not away the whole land and liberty of England' (, ii. 317, 320, 394).

Wrath at the degradation of his country and at the seeming hopelessness of the struggle explains the bitterness of Marvell's satires. Any weapon seemed legitimate, and every scandal was pressed into his verses. The satires show the development of his political opinions. In 1667 he attacked Clarendon and the court party, and hoped that with a change of ministers all would jet go well again. By 1674 he had discovered that the secret of the misgovernment of England was the king's character: 'for one man's weakness a whole nation bleeds.' In 1672 he held that Charles, with all his faults, was preferable to his bigoted brother, but in 1675 he had come to the conclusion that things would never be better till the reign of the house of Stuart was ended. Instead of constitutional monarchy he preached republicanism, and held up the republics of Rome and Venice as patterns to England.

Satires so outspoken were necessarily printed in secret or circulated in manuscript, but on one question Marvell found opportunity to appear more openly and reach a wider audience. The oppressive ecclesiastical policy of the government was notoriously the work of the ministers and the episcopal-cavalier party rather than the king, and it might be assailed with less danger and more prospect of success than civil tyranny. The most prominent champion of intolerance was Samuel Parker [q. v.], afterwards bishop of Oxford, who published in 1670 'A Discourse of Ecclesiastical Polity, wherein the Authority of the Civil Magistrate in matters of External Religion is asserted, the mischiefs and inconveniences of Toleration are represented, and all pretences pleaded in behalf of Liberty of Conscience fully answered.' This was followed by two other anti-non-conformist pamphlets, 'A Defence and Continuation of Ecclesiastical Polity,' 1671, and in 1672 by a preface to Bramhall's 'Vindication of himself and the Episcopal Clergy from the Presbyterian Charge of Popery.' Parker wrote, as Baxter complains, 'the most scornfully and rashly and profanely and cruelly against the nonconformists of any man that ever yet assaulted them.' Marvell undertook to answer Parker, and not to merely defend the principle of liberty of conscience, but, in Wood's phrase, 'to clip the wings' of Parker for the future.

With this intent he published in 1672 and 1673 the two parts of the 'Rehearsal Transprosed.' The title was suggested by the Duke of Buckingham's 'Rehearsal,' and Parker is throughout dubbed Mr. Bayes, on account of his supposed resemblance in character and style to the hero of Buckingham's play. In this, as in all Marvell's pamphlets, there are occasional passages of grave and vigorous eloquence, out in dealing with Parker he 'relied more on ridicule.' This pen-combat between our author and Marvell,' says Wood, 'was briskly managed, with as much smart cutting and satirical wit on both sides as any other perhaps of late hath been, they endeavouring by all the methods imaginable,

Marvell and the utmost forces they could by any means rally up, to blacken each other's cause and to set each other out in the most ugly dress : their pieces in the meanwhile, wherein was represented a perfect trial of each other's skill and parts in a jerking, flirting way of writing, entertaining the reader with a great variety of sport and mirth, in seeing two such right cocks of the game so keenly engaging with sharp and dangerous weapons,' The buffoonery which had been so effective a weapon against solid divines like Baxter and Owen proved a weak defence against Marvell's wit, and all the laughers were on Marvell's side.

'From the king down to the tradesman,' adds Burnet, ' his books were read with great pleasure' (, Athenæ Oxonienses, ed. Bliss, iv. 231 : Burnet, Own Time, ed. 1836, p. 478). Marvell had handled the difference between the royal policy and the clerical policy with such discretion that Charles himself intervened on his behalf when the licenser wished to suppress the second edition of the first part ot the 'Rehearsal Transprosed.' 'Look you, Mr. l'Estrange,' said Lord Anglesey, 'I have spoken to his Majesty about it, and the King says he will not have it suppressed, for Parker has done him wrong, and this man has done him right ' (Hist. MSS. Comm. 7th Rep. p. 618; cf. art, I/Estrange, Sir Roger), to some extent Marvell's object in writing was attained. Parker was effectually humbled. He made no attempt to answer the second part of the 'Rehearsal Transprosed,' and confined himself to posthumously libelling Marvell (Btshop Parker, History of his own Time, translated by Newlin, p. 332). Burnet goes so far as to say that Parker's party was humbled too.

Encouraged by his success, Marvell made two more essays in ecclesiastical controversy. In 1676 he defended Herbert Croft, bishop of Hereford, against some 'animadversions' on his pamphlet, 'The Naked Truth,' which had been published by Dr. Francis Turner, master of St. John's College, Cambridge. Turner was ridiculed much as Parker had been, and compared to Mr. Smirke the chaplain in Sir George Etheregea play ' The Man of Mode.' Croft wrote to thank Marvell for the 'humane civility and Christian chanty' with which he had taken up his cause against the 'snarling curs' who had assailed him (, ii. 488-91). In April 1678 Marvell took part in a controversy about predestination between John Howe and Thomas Danson [q.v.], but he was hardly qualified to treat a purely theological question. Much more effective than either of these two pamphlets was the 'Account of the Growth of Popery and Arbitrary Government in England, which was published towards the end of 1677. It dealt with the history of the reign from the long prorogation of November 1675, and undertook to prove that there had been for many years government of England into an absolute tyranny, and to convert the established protestant religion into downright popery,' Written in a plainer and more forcible style than Marvell's earlier pamphlets, and with all the boldness and directness of his satires, it produced an immediate sensation. The government offered a reward of 100/. in the 4 Gazette ' for the discovery of the author, and greater sums were privately promised. Marvell was suspected, but makes a jest of the suspicions in one of his letters. ' Three or four printed books,' he writes, 'have described — as near as it was proper to go, the man being a Member of Parliament — Mr. Marvell to have been the author ; but if he had, surely he would not have escaped being questioned in Parliament or some other place' (ib. ii. 631). Legal punishment, however, was not the only danger an obnoxious writer had to fear. Marvell's life had been threatened during his controversy with Parker. In a private letter (quoted by Cooke) he mentions ' the insuperable hatred of his foes to him, and their designs of murdering him,' and uses these words : ' Praeterea magis occidere metuo quam occidi ; non quod vitam tanti a?stimem,sed ne imparatus moriar' (Marvell, Works, ed. Cooke T 1772, i. 13). Hence his sudden death, on 18 Aug. 1678, at once gave rise to the rumour that he was poisoned. A contemporary poem on his death concludes with the lines : — Whether Fate or Art untwined his thread Remains in doubt. Fame's tasting register Shall leave his name enrolled as great as theirs Who in Philippi for their country tell.
 * a design carried on to change the lawful

('On his Excellent Friend, Mr. Andrew Marvell,' attributed to Shefheld, duke of Buckingham, Poems on Affairs of State, i. 123, ed. 1702). The suspicion, however, was groundless. Dr. Richard Morton (1635?-1698) [q. v.], in his ' Pyretologia,' published in 1602, describes Marvell as dying of a tertian fever, ' through the ignorance of an old conceited doctor.' An ounce of Peruvian bark would have saved him, but instead of that he was given an opiate, and copiously bled (Grosart, vol. ii. p. xliv). He was buried in London in the church of St. Giles-in-the-Fields, ' under the pews in the south side' (Aubrey, Letters from the Bodleian, ii.
