The Natural History of Ireland/Volume 4/The Grampus

The Grampus, Phocana Orca, F. Cuv., Delphinus Orca, Fabr.

Visits the coast.

Templeton states that it " appears on the coast of Ireland along with the herring :" Dr. J. D. Marshall, that it is " met with in great numbers [about Rathlin] during summer, and is said to be very mischievous, and not unfrequently to endanger boats,an observation indicating that the true grampus is alluded to. In M'Skimmin's History of Carrickfergus it is said to be " an occasional visitor during summer ; " and " a very large fish called the herring-hog, seen in pursuit of others, especially of the herring, with a larger dorsal fin." and hence imagined by this writer to be the fin-backed whale, is probably the grampus : he mentions one as cast ashore at Kilroot. In M'Skimmin's first edition, 1811, he notes the " herring-hog, said to be a very large fish, often upwards of twenty feet long," p. 184. The Cetacea mentioned in Sampson's History of Londonderry as visiting that coast are the porpoise and the grampus.

I am enabled to state that this species occurs on the north-east coast, from the examination of a cranium which came under my notice in 1839, when it was presented by Dr. Drummond to the Belfast Museum. The animal had been taken at Donaghadee ten or twelve years before that time. This cranium is thirty-two inches and a half in extreme length, and sixteen inches and a quarter in height ; it perfectly agrees with that represented in Cuvier's Oss. Foss. pl. 223 f. 3 ; edit. 1834. In Rutty's Dublin it is remarked under Grampus, " that forty-six were said to have been cast upon our coast in March, 1716;" but these were more probably Delp. melas. The grampus is included in the Fauna of Cork. The following paragraphs appeared in the Cork Reporter, and were copied into the Northern Whig, a Belfast newspaper, at the dates mentioned. " Shoal of Grampuses.About ten o'clock on Sunday a shoal of grampuses, about sixty in number, entered our harbour, and continued their course until they reached Horsehead, where they turned. They were chased by all the boats in the harbour. The scene was indeed extraordinary ; the strange visitors rolled and tumbled about, and spouted up the water to a considerable height. The tide was on the ebb, and the young monsters, finding themselves hotly pursued, made for the harbour, which they passed at about twelve o'clock. Several were taken, one of them weighing over three tons." N. Whig, July 31, 1841. " Shoal of Whales.Bantry Bay has been the scene of great excitement, high enjoyment, and most valuable occupation to the people of this locality, this week, in consequence of a very large shoal of whales- grampus species- which entered that harbour on Monday, and found their way to the romantic bay of Glengariff" on Tuesday-the evening of which day found all kinds of boats,weapons, and missiles in requisition for the attack on the herd. An immense number were secured, - a correspondent states three hundred, the value of which he computes at £1500. Nothing could exceed the spirit-stirring character of the whole scene, enhanced as it was by the beautiful weather, and splendid scenery of the bay." N. Whig, May 21, 1844.

The latter at least must, I consider, apply to the D. melas.Since the preceding was written I find that a cranium of D. melas (twenty-three inches and a quarter in length and thirteen inches in height) in the Belfast Museum was presented as that of a " grampus, one of a number cast ashore at Youghal," thus showing that this name is sometimes applied in the south to the other species.A herd of not less than a hundred grampuses mentioned to me by Mr. John Nimmo, in 1837, as having been once seen by him in Roundstone Bay, Connemara, were probably the allied species, and of whose occurrence on the western coast we have had ocular demonstration.On 4th or 5th February, 1848, two individuals of some kind of Cetaceous animals entered the bay of Belfast and came near the quays of that town, above Mr. Thompson's embankment. They were first observed at " grey dawn " by men engaged in removing the beacon lights, some way below Connswater, and who rowed up towards the animals, mistaking them for a yawl adrift. On a near approach, however, they were not a little surprised by the spouting up of a large jet of water which would have half filled their boat, and by the disappearance of the object of their curiosity. After a little time the latter again came to the surface, and, several boats having arrived, a general pursuit ensued, in the course of which a number of shots were fired, but apparently without effect. One boat, in which were several men from the guard ships and armed with boat-hooks,was rowed between the two Cetaceans, who had become partially aground and were so close together that there was scarcely room for the boat to pass but the fiowing tide soon enabled them to retreat into deeper water, and the assailants, finding them afloat, were glad to escape as speedily as possible. The boat which passed between them was twenty-four feet long, and the animals were described as being at least thirty feet in length, both as they extended beyond the boat astern and stern. They had one back-fin each about two feet and a half high, and thought to be nearer to the head than to the tail. The head was considered to resemble in form that of the porpoise, according to the figure in Bell's British Quadrupeds which was shown to the parties, and the eyes were full and large. Another informant stated that when he saw the animals he thought theywere a " lighter sinking."' The captain of a small tug-steamer plying in the bay gave chase for upwards of a mile, and was able to pass the animals by putting on " full steam," but he abandoned the pursuit, as he could not follow into shallow water so as to make the prize his own. The noise of the paddles and of blowing off the steam appeared to occasion great alarm. On the following morning the same captain observed the " whales at Holywood bank, and renewed the chase as far as Cultra, in the direction of the open sea. The engineer of this steamer corroborated the captain's statements, and they also concurred in saying that at first they thought there were two animals, but on a close approach they considered that there was only one, as the two bodies appeared to be joined at the inner sides, so far as visible. The two together were as broad as the deck of the steamer - about fourteen feet- and they rose simultaneously in the water, their backs suggesting the idea of " a double-roofed house." They inclined to float lazily on the surface when not disturbed ; and when they disappeared underneath it was only for a short time. Water was blown from the front of the head when the latter was above the sea, and in a forward direction along the surface- not upwards. All parties who saw the animals agreed that they were neither bottle-nosed whales nor dolphins ; and I have no doubt, everything considered, that they were grampuses. "When at Newcastle (County Down) in October, 1851, I was informed by fishermen that the grampus is seen there every summer, and is called the " Herring Hog." They identified the species on my showing them the figures in Bell's British Quadrupeds.

Rh “Not now—it’s too late,” he answered quietly. “You will come round our way, won’t you?”

“Yes,” she said.

We were eating bread and milk at the farm, and the father was talking with vague sadness and reminiscence, lingering over the thought of their departure from the old house. He was a pure romanticist, forever seeking the colour of the past in the present’s monotony. He seemed settling down to an easy contented middle-age, when the unrest on the farm and development of his children quickened him with fresh activity. He read books on the land question, and modern novels. In the end he became an advanced radical, almost a socialist. Occasionally his letters appeared in the newspapers. He had taken a new hold on life.

Over supper he became enthusiastic about Canada, and to watch him, his ruddy face lighted up, his burly form straight and nerved with excitement, was to admire him; to hear him, his words of thoughtful common-sense all warm with a young man’s hopes, was to love him. At forty-six he was more spontaneous and enthusiastic than George, and far more happy and hopeful.

Emily would not agree to go away with them—what should she do in Canada, she said—and she did not want the little ones “to be drudges on a farm—in the end to be nothing but cattle.”

“Nay,” said her father gently, “Mollie shall learn the dairying, and David will just be right to take to the place when I give up. It’ll perhaps be a bit rough and hard at first, but when we’ve got over it

284 we shall think it was one of the best times—like you do.”

“And you, George?” asked Lettie.

“I’m not going. What should I go for? There’s nothing at the end of it only a long life. It’s like a day here in June—a long work day, pleasant enough, and when it’s done you sleep well—but it’s work and sleep and comfort,—half a life. It’s not enough. What’s the odds?—I might as well be Flower, the mare.”

His father looked at him gravely and thoughtfully.

“Now it seems to me so different,” he said sadly, “it seems to me you can live your own life, and be independent, and think as you like without being choked with harassments. I feel as if I could keep on—like that——”

“I’m going to get more out of my life, I hope,” laughed George. “No. Do you know?” and here he turned straight to Lettie. “Do you know, I’m going to get pretty rich, so that I can do what I want for a bit. I want to see what it’s like, to taste all sides—to taste the towns. I want to know what I’ve got in me. I’ll get rich—or at least I’ll have a good try.”

“And pray how will you manage it?” asked Emily.

“I’ll begin by marrying—and then you’ll see.”

Emily laughed with scorn—“Let us see you begin.”

“Ah, you’re not wise!” said the father sadly—then, laughing, he said to Lettie in coaxing, confidential tones, “but he’ll come out there to me in a year or two—you see if he doesn’t.”

Rh “I wish I could come now,” said I.

“If you would,” said George, “I’d go with you. But not by myself, to become a fat stupid fool, like my own cattle.”

While he was speaking Gyp burst into a rage of barking. The father got up to see what it was, and George followed. Trip, the great bull-terrier, rushed out of the house shaking the buildings with his roars. We saw the white dog flash down the yard, we heard a rattle from the hen-house ladder, and in a moment a scream from the orchard side.

We rushed forward, and there on the sharp bank-side lay a little figure, face down, and Trip standing over it, looking rather puzzled.

I picked up the child—it was Sam. He struggled as soon as he felt my hands, but I bore him off to the house. He wriggled like a wild hare, and kicked, but at last he was still. I set him on the hearthrug to examine him. He was a quaint little figure, dressed in a man’s trousers that had been botched small for him, and a coat hanging in rags.

“Did he get hold of you?” asked the father. “Where was it he got hold of you?”

But the child stood unanswering, his little pale lips pinched together, his eyes staring out at nothing. Emily went on her knees before him, and put her face close to his, saying, with a voice that made one shrink from its unbridled emotion of caress:

“Did he hurt you, eh?—tell us where he hurt you.” She would have put her arms around him, but he shrank away.

“Look here,” said Lettie, “it’s here—and it’s bleeding. Go and get some water, Emily, and some

286 rags. Come on, Sam, let me look and I’ll put some rags round it. Come along.”

She took the child and stripped him of his grotesque garments. Trip had given him a sharp grab on the thigh before he had realised that he was dealing with a little boy. It was not much, however, and Lettie soon had it bathed, and anointed with elderflower ointment. On the boy’s body were several scars and bruises—evidently he had rough times. Lettie tended to him and dressed him again. He endured these attentions like a trapped wild rabbit—never looking at us, never opening his lips—only shrinking slightly. When Lettie had put on him his torn little shirt, and had gathered the giant breeches about him, Emily went to him to coax him and make him at home. She kissed him, and talked to him with her full vibration of emotional caress. It seemed almost to suffocate him. Then she tried to feed him with bread and milk from a spoon, but he would not open his mouth, and he turned his head away.

“Leave him alone—take no notice of him,” said Lettie, lifting him into the chimney seat, with the basin of bread and milk beside him. Emily fetched the two kittens out of their basket, and put them too beside him.

“I wonder how many eggs he’d got,” said the father, laughing softly.

“Hush!” said Lettie. “When do you think you will go to Canada, Mr. Saxton?”

“Next spring—it’s no good going before.”

“And then you’ll marry?” asked Lettie of George.

Rh “Before then—oh, before then,” he said.

“Why—how is it you are suddenly in such a hurry?—when will it be?”

“When are you marrying?” he asked in reply.

“I don’t know,” she said, coming to a full stop.

“Then I don’t know,” he said, taking a large wedge of cheese and biting a piece from it.

“It was fixed for June,” she said, recovering herself at his suggestion of hope.

“July!” said Emily.

“Father!” said he, holding the piece of cheese up before him as he spoke—he was evidently nervous: “Would you advise me to marry Meg?”

His father started, and said:

“Why, was you thinking of doing?”

“Yes—all things considered.”

“Well—if she suits you——”

“We’re cousins——”

“If you want her, I suppose you won’t let that hinder you. She’ll have a nice bit of money, and if you like her——”

“I like her all right—I shan’t go out to Canada with her though. I shall stay at the Ram—for the sake of the life.”

“It’s a poor life, that!” said the father, ruminating.

George laughed. “A bit mucky!” he said—“But it’ll do. It would need Cyril or Lettie to keep me alive in Canada.”

It was a bold stroke—everybody was embarrassed.

“Well,” said the father, “I suppose we can’t have everything we want—we generally have to put up

288 with the next best thing—don’t we, Lettie?”—he laughed. Lettie flushed furiously.

“I don’t know,” she said. “You can generally get what you want if you want it badly enough. Of course—if you don’t mind——”

She rose, and went across to Sam.

He was playing with the kittens. One was patting and cuffing his bare toe, which had poked through his stocking. He pushed and teased the little scamp with his toe till it rushed at him, clinging, tickling, biting till he gave little bubbles of laughter, quite forgetful of us. Then the kitten was tired, and ran off. Lettie shook her skirts, and directly the two playful mites rushed upon it, darting round her, rolling head over heels, and swinging from the soft cloth. Suddenly becoming aware that they felt tired, the young things trotted away and cuddled together by the fender, where in an instant they were asleep. Almost as suddenly, Sam sank into drowsiness.

“He’d better go to bed,” said the father.

“Put him in my bed,” said George. “David would wonder what had happened.”

“Will you go to bed, Sam?” asked Emily, holding out her arms to him, and immediately startling him by the terrible gentleness of her persuasion. He retreated behind Lettie.

“Come along,” said the latter, and she quickly took him and undressed him. Then she picked him up, and his bare legs hung down in front of her. His head drooped drowsily on to her shoulder, against her neck.

She put down her face to touch the loose riot of his ruddy hair. She stood so, quiet, still and

The Natural History of Ireland/Volume 4/Mus Hibernicus, Thompson

Mus Hibernicus, Thompson.

I made the following communication, on this species, to the Zoological Society of London, in 1837, in the proceedings for which year it was published : — "Mus Hibernicus (lrish. Rat).On questioning a person, some years ago, respecting a black rat which he had seen in the North of Ireland, my curiosity was excited by the statement that it had a white breast. In autumn last, a similar description was given me of one that had been caught, some time before, in Tollymore Park (County of Down). Mr. R. Ball, of Dublin, informs me that black rats, with the breast white, have been reported to him as once common about Youghal (County of Cork), though they are now very rare or perhaps extinct. But until April last, when a specimen was sent from Rathfriland (County of Down) to the Belfast Museum, I had not an opportunity either of seeing or examming the animal. This individual differs from the M. rattus, as described by authors, and also from specimens preserved in the British Museum, and in the collection of this society, in the relative proportion of the tail to that of the head and body ; in having shorter ears, and in their being better clothed with hair, as is the tail likewise ; and in the fur of the body being of a softer texture. The difference in colour between the M. rattus and the present specimen is, that the latter exhibits a somewhat triangular spot of pure white extending about nine lines below the breast, and has the fore-feet of the same colour. " The following is a comparison of this specimen with the M. rattus, as given by Mr. Jenyns. The same dimensions, with the very trivial difference of the ears being half a line less, appear in Mr. Bell's British Quadrupeds.

 * Length of the head and body M. Hibernicus 7 inches 6 lines M. Rattus 7 inches 4 lines
 * Length of the head M. Hibernicus 1 inch 10 lines M. Rattus 1 inch 10 lines
 * Length of the ears M. Hibernicus 0 inches 9 lines M. Rattus 0 inches 11 and 1/2 lines
 * Length of the tail M. Hibernicus 5 inches 6 lines M. Rattus  7 inches 11 lines
 * Length from the base of the ear to the snout M. Hibernicus 1 inch 6 lines
 * Length from from the tarsal joint to the end of the toes M. Hibernicus 1 inch 6 lines

These differences incline me to consider this animal distinct from M. rattus and, being unable to find any species described with which it accords, I propose to name it provisionally M. Hibernicus. Should future investigation prove it to be a variety only of M. rattus, it can be so considered under the present appellation."

The following information has been since obtained:-In March, 1838, Robert Langtry, Esq., informed me that, about fifteen or sixteen years previously, eighteen of these animals were killed, along with a great many common rats, during the " taking-in of a stack" of grain, at Fort William, near Belfast. There were three generations- of them, viz.- two adults, several well grown, but apparently not mature, and a number of young ones.They were nearly all killed by himself, and neither before nor since were any seen about the place. He described the animals so accurately,as to white breast, &c., that there is not a shadow of doubt relative to his correctness. The presence of three generations of this animal, in the same stack, with a great number of the Mus decumanus, speaks I think decisively against the latter species destroying them.Mr. Edward Benn, who has frequently heard of the capture of black rats with white spots on their breasts, had it always described to him as being shorter in the tail than a second species of black rat, also described to him, and which was, perhaps, Mus rattus, a specimen of which, as already mentioned, he procured for me, in December, 1842. This gentleman had learned that black rats with white spots on the breast were, at one time, not uncommon about a flour-mill at Carrickfergus. In August, 1843, I questioned the gamekeeper at Tollymore Park on the subject of this species, and he stated that he got a black rat there, about fourteen years before that date. It had a white breast ; its tail, he was certain, was shorter than that of the common rat; and he felt sure that it could not have been a variety of the common species, for various reasons which he explained. Were there not a difference in form, I should bring this animal under Mus rattus, as a variety ; but, as those who have seen it all describe it to have a shorter tail than that species, I still retain it under the above provisional name. What is stated of this animal leads me to consider it asat least a permanent variety of Mus rattus.

Note.The following memoranda were made by Mr. Thompson, after the foregoing remarks had been written. The two specimens referredto in these memoranda are now in the Belfast Museum.Ed.

" March 1st, 1850. Mus rattus?- M. Hibernicus- A very large rat of this species (large even for M. decumanus) was brought me to look at to-day, in the flesh. It was killed at Cogry Mills, near Doagh (County Antrim). Its weight is 1 lb. 3 oz. ; it is a male. It is wholly black, except a white elongate marking, an inch and half long, upon the breast, and a little white on the toes.

 * Length from snout to base of tail 11 inches 0 lines
 * Length of tail, which is imperfect 8 inches 3 lines
 * Length of head 2 inches 8 lines
 * Length of ears 10 and 1/2 lines

"March 1st, 1851.- Black Rat, with white spot on breast.- A very fine one was sent me by Mr. Wm. Marshall, of Barn Cottage (near Carrickfergus) ; its weight, 13 and 1/4 oz. avoirdupois."

Page:Speech on Partial Suffrage by Laura Clay to the Kentucky Constitutional Convention, December 12, 1890.pdf/4

 freeman, that of self-government, and that this Constitutional Convention will foresee and provide for the reform to come. We beg of this Convention that it will take such action as will not lay one straw in the way when the time comes for the people to confer the privilege of self-government upon women.  Mr. J. L. PHELPS. In my haste in making a speech which I did not expect to make, I incidentally referred to the murders during the administration of Governor Blackburn. I want now to explain that that death rate had no reference whatever to his administration; but I happened to have the statistics for those years, and they were the only ones I could remember at the time. I want to say there is no one here who can speak in higher terms of Gov. Blackburn than I will.

The amendment offered by the Delegate Irene Clinton was read, and is follows:

The General Assembly shall provide by law for the appointment of a board in each county and city voting separately from the county, composed of not less than two persons residing in the county or city, whose duty it shall be to select and appoint the officers of election in each voting precinct in the county or city. Said officers shall be sober end discreet persons who can read and write, and legal voters in the precinct for which they are appointed. The members of the board and the officers of election shall be equally and fairly divided between the adherents of the political or contending parties at the election to be held.

Mr. BRONSTON. I want to interrupt the proceedings just one minute to make a motion, which I think it is my duty to do, and that is, that the speech which has just been delivered and taken by the Reporter be regularly published in the proceedings of the Convention.

A vote being taken, it was so ordered.

Mr. BRENTS. I want to explain my amendment, and I would be exceedingly glad to have the attention of the Delegates, and especially the members of the Committee on Elections, because I consider this a very important matter. We have been for several days considering the best means to prevent corruption and to secure purity and honesty in the elections. It is not sufficient to provide for free elections and for giving every voter an opportunity to go to the polls and freely and independently cast his ballot according to his convictions. It is also important, and highly important, that the vote, after being cast, shall be honestly counted. What will he the good, if we provide for honest and a fair and quiet election, if we neglect to provide for the honest count of the votes after they are deposited in the ballot-box? My amendment aims at securing officers who will count honestly, as well as to secure fair elections. I will read it: "The General Assembly shall provide by law for the appointment of a board in each county and city, voting separate from the county, composed of not less then two persons residing in the county or city, whose duty it shell be to select and appoint officers of election in each voting precinct in the county or city." Under the present system one man appoints the two judges and the clerk. There is a law that these officers shall be divided between the political parties; but the judge may comply with the law and yet give one party, the party to which he adheres, an undue advantage. He may appoint strong minded intelligent men of his own party on the one side, and weak and ignorant men on the other. I have given this matter some thought, and I do not believe it is safe, I do not believe it will secure the people's rights to leave it in the hands of one man to appoint the officers of election. Therefore, I have offered this amendment, which provides that there shall be a board of not less than two persons. "Said officers," that is, the officers of the precinct "shall he sober and discreet persons." I will ask the members of the Committee on Election if they have any objection to that? Do you object to the officers of the election being sober?

The Natural History of Ireland/Volume 4/The Spermaceti Whale

The Spermaceti Whale, Physeter macrocephalus, Linn.,

Has been taken on the ocean coasts of the island.

In the Philosophical Transactions for 1695-6, Dr. Molyneux remarks," Nor is the kind of whale-fish that affords the true spermaceti a stranger to the coast of Ireland that respects America. This we may properly,I think, call the Cetus dentatus, from its large solid white teeth fixed only in the lower jaw, to distinguish it from the species that gives the whalebone of which kind likewise there have been three or four stranded in my time, but on the eastern coast of this country that regards England.There have been three of this kind [Cetus dentatus] taken to my knowledge in the space of the six years, all on the western coast of this country ; one near Coleraine in the County of Antrim, another about Shipharbour in the County of Donegal, and a third in August 1691, 71 feet long (exceeding that discovered by Clusius 19 feet), towards Ballyshannon, where Lough Erne discharges its waters into the western ocean." Vol. xix. p. 508.

In Smith's History of Cork, published in 1750, it is observed that a whale," which I take by the account I heard of it to be the Balaena major, or spermacetiwhale, Ray, Synop. Pisc. 15, was a few winters ago cast on shore near Castlehaven, and towards 60 feet long." Vol. ii. p. 299.Arthur Young in his Tour in Ireland, made in the years 1776- 1779,remarks that," In all the bays on the coast [of Donegal] in March and April there are many whales, the bone sort; they appear on the coast in February, and go off to the northward the beginning of May ; sometimes they are in great plenty, and in November to February there are many spermaceti whales ; [Footnote 1] this is what induced Thomas Nesbit, Esq., of Kilmacredon, to enter into a scheme for establishing a fishery on the coast, and in executing it was the inventor of the gunharpoon.Mr. Nesbit first used the gun-harpoon for killing whales in the year 1756 [In this year] one whale was caught by the hand-harpoon In 1761, with the gun-harpoon, he killed three whales and got them all ; after which he every year killed some, except one year, when he killed fortytwo sun-fish [Footnote 2] in one week, each of which yielded from half a ton to a ton of oil.Mr. Nesbit has since given it up,[Footnote 3] not from want of success in the mode of taking the whales, but from being put by his partners, for want of knowledge in the business, to useless expenses. From many experiments he brought the operationto such perfection, that for some years he never missed a whale, nor failed of holding her by the harpoon : he had for some time ill success, from firing when too near, for the harpoon does not then fly true, but at 14 or 15 yards' distance, which is what he would choose, it flies straight; has killed several at 25 yards." Other interesting particulars are given, and it is finally remarked :" I have been the more particular in giving an account of this undertaking, because the Society for the Encouragement of Arts, &c. in London has long sincegiven premiums for the invention of the gun-harpoon, supposing it to be original."P. 157.

In Rutty's Natural History of the County of Dublin it is stated that one of these whales " was cast upon our coast in the year 1766, and the sperma was taken from it and refined here in Dublin." Vol. i. p. 369. In 1837 Dr. R. Ball mentioned to me that he had often heard of an immense whale which was taken or cast ashore at Youghal about seventy years before that time. It was said to have been seventy feet in length, and its height so great that his grandfather, a tall man, when on horseback beside the whale, held up his whip, and the top of it could not be seen from the opposite side of the animal. The spermaceti was said to have been carried away in buckets-full. Mr. John Nimmo (of Roundstone, Connemara, informed me in 1837,that a spermaceti whale was driven ashore about fifteen years previously in a sandy bay near that village. Mr. Martin, on whose property it was stranded, was stated to have realized £50 by the spermaceti

into port, the 11th inst., a large whale; and as many others now appear on the coast, there is reason to hope for a successful season in that fishery."- Freeman's Journal, May 17, 1776. "We hear from Port in the Co. of Donegal that Mr. Thos. Nesbit hadbrought in a whale there which measured 63 feet in length." Freeman's Journal, June 10, 1776.
 * [Footnote 1] At the beginning of August, 1845, a large whale was seen by Mr. Hyndman and others between Horn Head and Tory Island off Donegal.
 * [Footnote 2] Basking shark. Selachus maximus, Cuv.
 * [Footnote 3] The following paragraphs appeared in 1776, copied in 1839, from a book of extracts made by Dr. Aquila Smith;-"A large Whale. By letters from the Co. Donegal we have an account that Mr. Thos. Nesbit killed and brought

Translation:Arukh ha-Shulchan/Orach Chaim/430

This chapter contains five sections: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5

Section 1
The Shabbos before Pesach is called the 'Great Shabbos' (Heb. 'Shabbos Hagadol') on account of the great miracle that happened on that day. The Pesach sacrifice in Egypt was purchased on the tenth, and that year the exodus from Egypt was on the fifteenth, as is related in Shabbos 87.1. This means that the Shabbos before Pesach occurred on the tenth, and each took a lamb for his Pesach sacrifice and tied it to the leg of his bed. The Egyptians asked: 'What are you doing?', and they responded 'The Holy One Blessed be He commended us to slaughter it as a sacrifice. Now the Egyptians worshiped the lamb, and this set their teeth on edge, but they remained silent. Furthermore, the Israelites informed them the Holy One Blessed be He will [in a future plague] kill their firstborn, and this prompted the firstborn Egyptians to enter into hostilities with Pharaoh and their fathers, resulting in an internal war. This is the meaning of the verse "To strike the Egyptians through their firstborn, as is explained in the Midrash. It is due to this miracle [that the Egyptians entered into internal strife instead of attacking the Israelites] that gave rise to this Shabbos being called the 'Great Shabbos'.

Section 2
Now if you should ask: 'What does the Shabbos have to do with this? let the commemoration always be on the tenth of the month' - know that there is an answer, which is that the tenth is also the anniversary of Miriam's [Moshe's sister] death, and therefore was not chosen to be a day of rejoicing. Furthermore, the tenth of this month was also the day when the Israelites crossed the Jordan upon entry into the Land of Israel, as is written in Yehoshua. Since a miracle accompanied this crossing, one might assume that any commemoration on the tenth is in memory of this miracle. Therefore habbos was set aside for commemoration of the miracle in Egypt, for the tenth did not fall out on Shabbos when the Israelites crossed the Jordan ('Bach').

If you will say to this: 'Why is it a problem if people connect the commemoration [if held on the tenth] to the crossing of the Jordan [it was also a great miracle]? The answer is that these days are set aside to commemorate the miracles of the Exodus, which were greater that those of the Jordan [and it would not be proper to have the day associated in people's minds with smaller miracles].

Section 3
Moreover, there are those who write that this Shabbos was intricately connected with the miracle, for the Egyptians knew that the Israelites observed Shabbos, and that prompted the question 'What do you need with a Lamb on Shabbos [why are buying it today]?, to which they responded the reponse we have mentioned ('Levush'). Additionally, when they tied to lambs to their bed post they did an act [tying] normally be forbidden on Shabbos, and the Egyptians then asked after their behavior, to which they responded what I have mentioned ('Prisha').

Section 4
One can also point out that in truth Shabbos depends on Pesach and Pesach depends on Shabbos, for Shabbos testifies to G-d's creation of the world, and Pesach testifies to G-d's divine providence over and love for the Jewish People. One without the other would not suffice, as is understood [in religious philosophy]. Therefore immediately after the Exodus from Egypt the Holy One Blessed be He gave us the commandment of Shabbos, and He did not wait until the giving of the Torah. This is because Pesach requires the ideology of Shabbos, and Shabbos requires the ideology of Pesach. This is why this Shabbos is called the 'Great Shabbos', for through this Shabbos the Holy One Blessed be He is extolled to a greater extent, for besides it testifying to His creation of the world, it also clarifies that His Divine Providence exists in the world. We are also raised through this, as we recognize that He chose us from among the other nations. (For more on this topic see what I have written in chapter 242.)

Section 5
There is a custom on this Shabbos to refrain from the usual recitation of 'Borchi Nafshi'. Many read a portion of the Haggadah from 'Avadim Hyeenu' ('Our fathers were slaves...') until 'L'Chaper Al Kol Avonosainu' ('...to atone for all our sins.'). Some object to this custom, for the Braisa [in the Talmud] explicitly clarifies the time for this recitation: "I would have thought [we should commemorate the Exodus] from the beginning of the month - therefore the Torah specifies 'on that day' ". This clarification is referring to the verse of 'Ve'Hegadeta L'Vincha' ('You should tell your children...') [which is the source of the commandment of retelling the story of the Exodus on the night of Pesach] (Gra).

Returning to a previous point, we have already noted that the laws and philosophy of Pesach are expounded on this Shabbos. Some write additionally that if the eve of Pesach should fall on a Shabbos these public discourses should take place on the previous Shabbos (Chok Yaakov). This point of view works well for those who understand that the discourses are on the laws of Pesach. In our communities, where everyone asks their specific questions from their Rabbi, and the public discourses are given over to other religious matters, there is no reason not to hold them on Pesach eve [if the calendar falls out so]. In any event, aside from the public discourses, the laws of Pesach are recounted in the liturgical poem ['Piyut'] of Shabbos Hagadol.

On Shabbos Hagadol, the Haftorah of "v'Aravah" [Malachi, 3.10] is only read when Pesach eve falls on Shabbos, since it is written therein: "Bring the whole of the tithes into the treasury [that you have been holding back]", and Pesach eve was the day on which it was commanded that all overdue tithes should be removed [Heb. 'Biyur'] from one's house on the fourth and seventh years of the 'Shmittah' cycle.

Others insist that the rule is the reverse: Since one cannot perform 'Biyur' on Shabbos [due to the restrictions of Shabbos] one does not read the Haftorah of "v'Aravah", and it is only on other years that "v'Aravah" is read as a commemoration (in the name of the Gra). This in fact is our custom, to read "v'Aravah" on every Shabbos Hagadol, except when Pesach eve falls on Shabbos, when the regular Haftorah of the weekly Torah portion would be read.

 S. F. Edge. Won the James Gordon Bennett Cup In European Automobile Contest.

PARIS. June 28.—S. F. Edge, an Englishman, won the James Gordon Bennett Cup in the automobile contest, reaching Innspruck (Austria) ahead of his French competitors, including Knyff, who, after leading every one until he was twenty-five miles from Innspruck, broke down. This is the first time the cup will leave France.

Mr. Edge's time from Paris to Belfort and from Bregenz to Innspruck was 10 hours, 41 minutes, and 58 seconds.

Baron de Forest arrived at Salzburg (the third stage of the international race from Paris to Vienna) first, at 1:34:20 P. M. His average speed from Bregenz to Salzburg was 44½ miles per hour.

Many of the competitors met with slight accidents, owing to the rough condition of the roads.

The Austrian Emperor’s brother, Archduke Ludwig, and Archdukes Leopold and Joseph Ferdinand and the local functionaries witnessed the arrival of the racers at Salzburg from the grand stand. The very large crowds of spectators gave Baron de Forest an ovation.

Rh Ratib, the unanimous adoration of God by an assembly of devotees, as a mosque full of people praying. Unanimous praise and thanks giving to God. The word is Arabic.

Ratna, a jewel, a gem, a precious stone. Ratna, C. 583, a jewel, a gem, anything the best; or figuratively, the best of its species.

Ratu, a prince, a sovereign. Ratu Pajajaran, the prince of Pajajaran. This title of Ratu is given to the females of the royal family, as Ratu Kanchana, the golden sovereign, is the head wife of the emperor of Solo or Jugjokarta,— the empress, the sultana. Radu, Clough 585, a king; also written Rada, and is the Elu form of Rāja. Ratu, on Bali is a title always given to princes in addressing them, but as a title before the name, it is only used for particular and eminent princes;, Bat. Trans. Vol. 23, page 33. Ratu might come from Rah, blood, Tuwa, old = Rahtu, ancient blood or descent.

Ratus, hundred. Sa ratus, one hundred. Lima ratus, five hundred. Probably derived from Rau, to gather up. Tus or tutus, nicked bambu strings used in keeping tally.

Rau and Rauwan, to gather up, to collect, to pick up. Kudu di rau, it must be picked up, collected. Rauwan kabéh, gather them all up. Rau-tus is thus, to collect the tally slips, and each such collection may have been fixed at 100.

Raut, to pare away, to smoothen off by paring with a knife. To whittle. To remove all asperities, said especially of split bambu or rattan. The word Rotan in Malay for rattan is no doubt derived from this verb, with the suffix an, and thus means an object which is pared away, which is whittled, since to use rattan for the purpose of tying, it must be split and the jagged edges pared off for use. Even to this day you can often hear the natives of Borneo or Celebes call it Rautan. Though in Sunda we have thus the etymon of the word, they have a peculiar word for rattan, which they do not call Rotan or Rautan, but Hoih, which see.

Rawana, C. 593, the celebrated Raksha or giant king of Lanka or Ceylon, at the time it was inhabited by the giant race. Rawana was slain by Rama in the wars which he waged for the recovery of his wife Sita, whom Rawana had surreptitiously carried off to his capital Lanka. He figured in the temples as a ferocious monster with ten heads and twenty arms, in each of which he holds an instrument of war.

Rawang, torn assunder, split or divided. Rawang-rawing, much torn or split asunder. In Malay Rawang implies lattice work. See Karawang.

Rawatan, to look after, to take care of; to cherish. Anak éwé kudu di rawatan, children and wife must be cared for.

Rawayan, one of the chief villages of the Badui people in South Bantam. Rawaya, C. 587, sound, noise, sound in general.

Rawé, a noose set to take deer. Such noose is larger than Rachik, which see, and is not attached to any spring of wood.

Rasa, C. 587, taste, flavour; Mala, C. 521 —- according to Sanscrit authorities it is dirivedderived [sic] from Mala, to hold or contain in the body; any excretion of the body, as faeces, blood, ear-wax, sweat etc. etc. Rasa-mala will thus mean the tasty excretion, an exudation of flavour. Liquidammer Altingiana.

Rasé, a vivena resembling Dédés, but still another variety. Viverra Rasé.

Siji, one, the numeral of unity. Apparently of Sanscrit origin, Sa or Saha, C. 721, with, together, association. Bija, C. 474, the seed of plants; thus with a seeds = one.

VIENNA, June 29,-The Paris-Vienna automobile race was finished here to-day. Marcel Renault arrived first, but was disdisqualifieddisqualified [sic]. He covered the distance from Paris to Vienna in 15 hours and 22 minutes, at an average speed of 82 kilometres (about 51 miles) an hour. Zborowski was second, Maurice Farman third, Baras fourth, Edmond fifth, and Hemery sixth.

Baron de Forest, who was seventh, was disqualified. On account of an accident to his motor car, S. F. Edge, an Englishman, was the twentieth to arrive. He denies reports circulated to the effect that he was disqualified, and cites as proof that he was declared winner of the James Gordon Bennett Cup.

Three of the contestants in the race claim to have won. Renault passed the winning point precisely at 2 o’clock. He was disqualified, however, for having failed to stop at the control station at Florisdorf, a suburb of Vienna, across the Danube, where the final racing time was to be taken. Instead, he dashed madly through the crowd of officials and timekeepers, and entered Vienna at full speed, scattering vehicles and pedestrians in all directions, and arriving at the Prater in eighteen minutes instead of the prescribed minimum of forty-five minutes from Florisdorf.

Zborowsky, although he arrived second, is believed to be too heavily handicapped by his previous day’s performance to win first place. It is expected that Maurice Farman will attain the coveted honor, his brother Henry coming second. The decision will probably be delayed three days, owing to the complicated calculations arising from the speed restrictions imposed upon the contestants in Switzerland and elsewhere along the route.

The final stage of the race was favored with glorious weather. Spectators lined the route for many miles into the country. The Austrian Automobile Club received the racers at Prater, where thousands of persons had gathered and cheered the arrivals.

Much sympathy was expressed over the ill-luck which befell the American representatives. The Englishmen who took part in the contest were also unfortunate. It is asserted that Edge, who was believed to have won the James Gordon Bennett Prize, will be disqualified on account of having received help from some peasants in extricating his machine from a bad place on the road. The International Committee will investigate the charges.

In the opinion of experts the race was the severest test of the capacity of automobiles ever imposed, the participants declaring that the roads over the Arlberg Pass and thence to Vienna are some of the worst in Europe. Every automobile covering the entire route in any reasonable time will be entitled to a place in the first rank of manufactures.

A striking feature of the race has been the success and endurance of the light cars, especially in mountain work.
