Sunday dawned and off to breakfast we went. Mark thoroughly enjoyed his fry-up. I was more restrained with special k and toast - plus i was leaving room for my roast dinner. We checked out..i wonder what the hotel people thought of all the empty bottles in our room..wish I'd been a fly on the wall. I hated saying goodbye to Liz and Peter and Pat and Shaun. Must confess to the odd watery eye. Now we had to be at winchcombe station for the 10:40 train so off we went via Tewksbury to pick up Marlene and Linda. I must confess that when i saw their luggage my heart sank a little..i didn't think there'd be enough room in the boot of my little Mazda but some creative packing by Mark and Linda's willingness to wear my balloons from the night before solved the problem. off we went following the route Andy had told us and aided by a map given to Marlene by her landlady. Trouble is they aren't really keen on accurate signposts in this part of the world...We found the little brown steam train signs and got all excited as we pulled into the station car park at about 10.10.......only to discover we were at Toddington station and not winchcombe...Dagnabit the hunt was on for winchcombe station. Andy had said in passing that winchcombe station was really in the village of Greet so when we saw a sign for Greet we hurtled up the road to discover...no station. Back out on the winchcombe road and no signposts, no little brown steam train signs and worst of all..no mobile phone signal to ring the others and ask for directions. Every so often we'd get a signal, mark would ring Sue's number, pass the phone to me only for the signal to disappear. after 2 lots of this we concluded only Mark's side of the car could receive a signal but not for long enough to be any help. By now its nearly 10.20 and i am getting concerned to say the least. found a nice little man who didn't really know where the station was but directed us to Greet Road because he'd heard that there was some sort of train thing up that way. We were back on track, if you'll pardon the pun. The roads were very narrow and heavily parked so took a wrong turn, panicking now i backtracked and went up greet road like a bat out of hell...we made it to the station with only minutes to spare.. we quickly got out of the car, ran hell for leather for the ticket office to discover Wolfie had kindly got our tickets to save time. the relief was amazing, as was the realisation that on this day of all days the train was running late... just about par for the travels of the whole weekend really LOL. The Steam train was certainly that in more ways than one... steam plumed out of the funnel and we all steamed inside the carriages. The scenery was lovely as was the chance for more chit chat. Back to winchcombe, and lunch at the corner cupboard. Now directions to this were minimal, "it's on the main road through the town and it comes out to the edge of the pavement". I expected this to turn into another hunt of "holy Grail" type proportions but in 5 minutes there it was and we grabbed the last place in the car park. Inside for a nice refreshing Diet coke, except the air machine packed up and there was no coke or lemonade..ho hum here we go again. Lunch when it came was absolutely delicious. The roast beef was perfect, there were a couple of vegetable dishes done with leeks, peas and red cabbage that were really tasty. mind you Gwen's prawn salad looked really nice too.. I resisted the puddings.... It had been lovely to see Howie and Bron and Gwen and Nick again as well as our partners in crime from the precious night but 4 o'clock came and we had to leave to make it back in time to pick the kids up from greg. Hugs all round and more watery eyes and we were on the road again. Howie gave us a route that took us up to junction 9 on the M40 and we avoided the Oxford problem that way.. Howie's route was very pretty and added about 20 minutes to the journey which was worth it to avoid the delays at oxford. once on the M40 all went well. we dropped Marlene and Linda off, had a lightning chat with Dave and then we were off again as it was after 6pm and we had a fair way to go. then we saw signs that said the M25 was shut from 6 - 5.. No surprise there then given all the other travel fun and games. We thought about the A25 but decided to chance it. We were lucky it had reopened by the time we got there and we picked the children up about 8pm. A wonderful weekend and then back to reality with a bump on Monday morning with the school run. hope i haven't bored you too much Karen

Sounds like a lovely time was had by all :) Pity about that darn roundabout!! DiDi http://photobucket.com/albums/d100/didi_45 on Friday night nothing seemed to go right and i began to think the weekend was doomed...rob was over an hour late back from his school trip courtesy of the same M25 chaos that caught pat and Shaun, Katie's paper round took forever so dinner was late. hadn't had time during the day to do my preparations for the weekend. had tried to get a new top and failed miserably... Saturday dawned and i was running round like a loony to get ready to leave by half eight...needless to say we left at half nine...got the kids to Greg's and we were off... we made good time till we hit oxford and fell foul of the headington roundabout.... this seriously disrupted our journey and it all went downhill from there...picked Marlene and Linda up in Tewksbury and headed back across country to Bourton to meet the others.. arrived in Bourton too late to join them in birdland boo hoo, especially boo hoo now that I've seen the pictures of the cute penguins. had a minor panic when we put petrol in the car as we apparently were running on fumes and it started flowing out of the filler cap but the gauge only showed a half tank. Liz's Peter was worried that the petrol tank might have collapsed..if it had i think i would have done too..hot and tired and bothered as i was by the journey. Thankfully the gods were kind and it seems my petrol gauge is knackered.. off round the model village we went which is lovely and then just time for a romantic stroll round the town. we found a pub and sat and relaxed for the first time all day over a cold coke. then it was a mad dash back to Cheltenham to register at the hotel, have a shower and change for dinner..and drink the champagne mark had bought for us to share in our room before meeting up with the others. we had 55 minutes to do all the above and just managed it. into the restaurant and there was a lovely surprise, the table was surrounded by balloons. i had beautiful cards and gifts and felt very spoiled. there was much laughter and chit chat, as Beth calls it. Mark stood up and made his little speech and i did get snuffly.. the tone was lowered by a flying pair of knickers and an overnight schedule LOL then it all went quiet and a cake with candles appeared..i was really touched, and very grateful there were only 4 candles to blow out and not 43.... we all enjoyed the cake and there was some left for me to bring home to the children. after dinner it was all back to our room for more wine and chat..the funniest thing was the queue of people outside the door clutching their tooth mugs... i don't know if we'll be allowed back there again LOL. thanks to all of you for making me feel so special on my birthday, it was truly lovely. ==== GEN-TRIVIA-ENG Mailing List ==== RANDOM TAGLINE - GEN-TRIVIA-ENG - MAILING LIST Please use common sense when sending or replying to messages on the list.

The Times, Thursday, Mar 15, 1866; pg. 11; Issue 25446; col G THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. -------------------------- TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - I have just read in your issue of last Saturday a paragraph stating that the body of a young woman, on whose linen the name "Emily DEBENHAM," was found, had been washed ashore on the French coast, and that no such person was a passenger in the ill-fated London. I am able to state that Mrs. DEBENHAM and her husband were passengers in that vessel, and that Mrs. DEBENHAM (née Emily LANGDON) was well-known to me from her early youth, and was my fellow-passenger (with her husband and a nephew) in the last homeward passage from Sydney of the Duncan Dunbar. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, W. H. WALSH, Canon of St. Andrew's Cathedral, Sydney. Longparish, Hants, March 13. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Petra

The Times, Monday, Mar 12, 1866; pg. 10; Issue 25443; col F THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. -------------------------- TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - I should not obtrude a subject of a private nature on your notice, but that I see in your impression of to-day a repetition of the paragraph of February 17, to the effect that a woman supposed to be a passenger by the steamship London had been washed ashore, February 12, on the island of Hoedie, off the coast of Bretagne. From the particulars of the marks on the linen, though incorrectly given in transmission by telegraph, and the description of the rings on the fingers, I had no doubt of its being the corpse of my sister-in-law, who with her husband, my brother, was returning to Sydney in that ill-fated ship. I lost no time in taking the necessary steps to recover the remains and bring them to England for interment. On my arrival at Brest, seeking the aid and advice of Her Majesty's Consul, Sir Anthony PERRIER, I learned that, as soon as he had been apprised of the finding of the body, he had sent a despatch to have it interred with the utmost decency and respect. I cannot express my obligation to him for the kindness with which he received me, and the promptitude and diligence with which he rendered every needful assistance, and favoured me with instructions which removed all difficulties and delays, at a time when he himself was confined to his bed by an attack of cholera, then prevalent at Brest, and was harrassed by an unusual pressure of consular business. I thankfully avail myself of this opportunity of making my acknowledgments for the satisfaction derived to myself and relatives from the publicity given to the circumstances in The Times. I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, HENRY DEBENHAM. 56, Addison-road, March 10. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Saturday, Mar 10, 1866; pg. 9; Issue 25442; col G THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. - The papers that were found in the bottles picked up on the French coast at Auray, and were proved to have been thrown overboard from the London steamer just prior to her foundering, have been forwarded to Lloyd's. They are small slips of writing paper, and the writing is in pencil. It is intended to send these sad mementoes to the relatives of the unfortunate passengers. There also came ashore at the same time a dead body of a young woman, supposed to be English. Her linen bore the name of "Emily DEBENHAM," and it was suspected she came from the London. There is no such name on the list of passengers; she might, however, have shipped in another name. There was a quantity of rings and jewelry found on her which are now in the possession of the French authorities, to be restored to the relatives. Her body has been buried in the cemetery of the Hoedix, where it was washed up on the beach. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Monday, Mar 05, 1866; pg. 5; Issue 25437; col C A VOICE FROM THE LONDON. -------------------------- TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir, - For three long and weary days I have waited in anxious expectation to see whether the metropolitan press, and yourself at their head, would editorially notice that remarkable "message from the sea" which appeared in all the journals of Thursday last, and which was so wonderfully preserved to us from the wreck of the London. No sign or sound of comment having yet - so far as I can discover - been made, I feel that any further silence on my part would be in the highest degree culpable. As a near connexion, indeed, of one who not merely went down in the ill-fated ship, but "whose voice, though dead, yet speaketh," and as having myself both thought much and written carefully upon the destruction of the vessel, I do think that I am entitled to draw attention in the most emphatic manner to one or two of the leading circumstances in this terrible calamity, especially under the new and ghastly light which has just so unexpectedly been thrown upon them. I need scarcely say then, Sir, that I allude to the testimony of my lamented brother-in-law, Mr. H. J. DENIS, for that alone, of all the messages preserved, contains matter of any material interest to the public at large. Before, however, I quote his evidence, I may perhaps be pardoned for endeavouring to enhance its value by referring for a moment to the character of the person who gives it. Mr. H. J. DENIS, as all who knew him will agree, and as this very message amply proves, was a man of no ordinary kind. For many years past he had been accustomed to a variety of travel and adventure. He had visited many remote regions, had lived among savages, and faced the dangers of the chase in South Africa, and, moreover, as the public have lately been informed, was officially declared by the United States' Government to be the first Englishman who ever grew cotton from free labour in the slave districts on the Mississippi, and that, too, at a time when civil war was still raging on the American continent. Further than this, he was on board the Marco Polo when about four years ago she suddenly, and in the middle of the night, struck an iceberg in the Southern Ocean, 2,000 miles away from land, and when for some hours all on board expected every minute to go down. Upon this trying occasion he evinced extraordinary calmness and presence of mind, and I have frequently heard from his own lips the precautions he adopted with a view to at least temporary preservation. Familiar, then, with peril, acquainted with nautical affairs, and singularly observant of small details, I have a right to assert that his evidence, given as it was in the very jaws of death, is of the utmost importance, and has a claim to the serious consideration of the Board of Trade, even though they may have endorsed and published a formal report. What, then, is his brief but precise language? - "Bay of Biscay, Thursday, 10 o'clock. Ship too heavily laden for its size, and too crank. Windows stove in, and water coming in everywhere. Storm not too violent for a ship in good condition." Surely, Sir, language like this, coming from such a man at such a time, does not deserve to be slighted as of no account, or to be placed even in the same category as the opinions, scientific soever as they may be, formed by persons far away from the scene of the catastrophe, and when all material proof as to its causes has been for ever removed. And when, Sir, in addition to this, I have to tell you that I had an opportunity of seeing and examining the Quartermaster, DANIELS, on the very day after he had landed - that same man whose evidence was said to be so confused at the inquiry that nothing could be made out of it - and when I am enabled to affirm that nothing could be more clear than the replies he gave to my questions, and that one of the very first statements he made to me was that he felt certain the vessel was too heavily laden from the moment he saw her go down the river; that the consequence of her being so was that she shipped such heavy seas that at last the hatchway of her engine-room was carried away; that the natural result of this was that her engine fires were extinguished by the flood of water which poured in; and that thus not only was the ship rendered a log, but the great means upon which they relied for pumping out the water - viz., their steam power - was unavailable, I do consider, Sir, that I have made out a case which calls for the most serious explanation on the part of her owners. It is said that the bustle and routine of commercial life are apt to deaden the sympathies of the human heart, and even to render callous the instincts of natural affection, but I can scarcely yet think so meanly of our great merchant princes - of those men whose ships are on every sea and who carry our trade to the ends of the earth - as to suppose that they would for the sake of some miserable gain risk invaluable lives, and, so that they may only expedite the transport of their merchandise, care not whether they make parents childless, turn wives into widows, and suffer happy children to become lone and desolate orphans. I am, Sir, yours obediently, E. GILBERT HIGHTON, M.A. 41, Bedford-square, March 3. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Times, Thursday, Mar 01, 1866; pg. 9; Issue 25434; col G THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. - The following translation of part of a letter from the Commissary-General of Marine at Lorient has been received by the Secretary of Lloyd's from Sir Anthony PERRIER, C.B., Her Majesty's Consul and Lloyd's agent at Brest: - "On the 12th of February last three bottles were found on the coasts of Quiberon and Loomariaquer, containing six papers written in English, as follows: - The first paper. - 'D. W. LEMMON. - London, Thursday 10th January, 1866. - The ship is sinking - no hope of being saved. Dear Parents, may God bless you, as also me, with the hope of eternal salvation.' Second paper. - 'Steamship London, they are putting out the boats.' Third paper. - 'F. G. HUCKSTEP. - On board the steamship London, lat. 46 20, long. 7 30; lost boats, masts, and sails; ship leaking.' Fourth paper. - 'We commenced our voyage on Saturday, 30th Dec., 1865. Sunday, in the Channel; Monday, in open sea; Tuesday, ditto; Wednesday, at Cowes; Thursday, at Plymouth; Friday and Saturday, at sea; Sunday, bad weather; Monday, water from the stern comes into the cabins; the 9th, heavy damages; a boat lost. May we get home! Storm. - H. G.' Fifth paper. - 'F. C. McMILLAN, of Launceston, Tasmania, 11th of January, 1866, to his dear wife and dear children. May God bless you all! Farewell for this world. Lost in the steamship London, bound for Melbourne.' Sixth paper. - 'H. J. DENIS to Jh. Denis KNIGHT, at Great Shelford. - Adieu father, brothers, and sisters and my .. Edi .. .. Steamer London, Bay of Biscay, Thursday, 10 o'clock. - Ship too heavily laden for its size, and too crank; windows stove in - water coming in everywhere. God bless my poor orphans. Request to send this paper, if found, to Great Shelford. Storm not too violent for a ship in good condition.' On the same day were found on the shoals of Quiberon a binnacle watch, stopped at half-past 10 o'clock, a woman's shift, two cotton sheets, two splinters of wood, having on them in white letters six centimetres (2½ inches) long the word 'London.' A great quantity of staves have been picked up along the coast. In compliance with instructions from the Minister of Marine the above-mentioned papers have been sent to the Minister of Marine and Colonies." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
