He was surrounded by dogs in his family home and missed them tremendously when sent away to boarding school and College. But one of the great attractions on being able to have a house of his own for some ten years between 1904 and 1914 at ‘Threepwood’ in Record Road, Emsworth, was that he acquired his beloved dog Nance. She grew into a large, amiable and PG and Bill friendly dog devoted to Plum and he was devoted to her. In the mornings he took her along with him on his walk to the station in order to send off his daily contribution to the ‘By The Way’ column in The Globe. One of his favourite evening strolls was to go with Nance along the Havant Road, perhaps to call in at his aunt and uncle’s house on the way, and join a small circle of friends at a local hostelry for a convivial evening discussing events of the day. Later, writing from America to his housekeeper Lillian about his somewhat unexpected and sudden marriage to his new wife, Ethel: “knowing me, you will understand the importance of marrying someone who was fond of animals. She is very anxious to meet Nancy. Our puppy is awfully nice, but no dog will ever be like Nance”. Most of the later posed photographs of Plum and his wife, whether it be on one of his English sojourns, in France or at his American home in Remsenburg, show them accompanied by a dog: “The white dog …. is our Peke Squeaky, who is an absolute angel, and we have a cat which sleeps on my bed every night”. Once settled in America, for some seven years the Wodehouses kept two establishments, one a duplex penthouse apartment on the 14th floor of a building at 84th Street and Park Avenue in New York City and a house in the hamlet of Remsenburg, Long Island, which later became their permanent home. He described the house on Long Island as “at the end of what is picturesquely known as Basket Neck Lane, and has 12 acres of ground which lead down, through a wood, to a very attractive creek”. Bill The first animal to arrive at Remsenberg was Bill: “A foxhound has turned up. It came into the garden and sat down, looking on. It was in an advanced state of starvation, and so covered with swollen ticks that it took two hours to get them off and only the keenest eye could discern that there was a dog underneath. It took a vet working day and night to pull him round. The poor animal had hardly any blood left in him and had to be taken to the vet for transfusions. … We can’t imagine where he came from. He is a beautiful dog and an expert here tells us that he is one of the famous Colonel Whacker hounds from Kentucky. There are one or two packs on Long Island so I suppose he must have strayed. It is clear he is a dog of impeccable breeding, obviously accustomed from birth to mixing with the smart hunting set – there are several packs on the island – and why he is not getting his nose down to it with the other foxhounds is more than I can tell you. I imagine that he just got fed up one day with all that Yoicks and Tally Ho stuff and felt that the time had come to pull out and go into business for himself. It is agreeable to be able to record that his only worry today is having to watch his calories, for he is putting on weight terribly. A fox seeing him coming would laugh his head off.” Wodehouse’s life with Bill was not without its ups and downs however. Writing to a friend he said: 1 �“Life, always difficult, has been much complicated of late by the eccentricities of Bill the foxhound. We brought him up from Remsenburg, [to New York] having nobody to leave him with there, and he decided right away that city life was not for him. Alighting from the car, he flatly refused to enter our apartment home, evidently suspecting a trap. With a terrific expenditure of energy I dragged him as far as the lift, and again he jibbed. I finally got him in, and then he refused to emerge. Assisted by the lift man, I got him out, and then he stoutly declined to go through our door, which he obviously assumed to the Den of the Secret Nine. When the time came to take him for an airing, he refused to go out of the door, into the lift, out of the lift, across the lobby and out of the front door, and on returning from our stroll showed the same disinclination to go through the front door, across the lobby, into the lift, out of the lift and through our door. “This went on for about a week, when he suddenly decided that his fears had been illfounded and that there were no plots against his person. The only trouble is that he now wants to be taken for a walk every quarter of an hour or so, and I see no prospect of ever doing any more work. I take him for a mile hike before breakfast, a three miler in the afternoon and perhaps another mile after dinner. It’s doing wonders for my figure, of course, but it has made me practically a spent force as a writer.” Guinea hens and kittens Their second arrivals came when Plum and his wife went to a man’s birthday party and somebody had given him two guinea hens as a present. Ethel asked him what he was going to do with them, and he said “Eat ‘em”. Ethel was horrified and asked if “we could have them, so we took them away and built a large run for them in the garden, and they settled down happily”. A few nights later their third visitor turned up. “We heard something crying in the dark and went out and there was a tiny white kitten about three Inches long. This was added to the strength. “About a week after that I was walking to get the mail when I saw a car ahead of me suddenly swerve and it seemed to me that there was a small dark object in the middle of the road. I went up, and it was a black kitten. I picked it up and put it on my shoulder, and it sang to me all the way to the post office and back, shoving its nose against my face. We called it Poona. “The fact that Poona being at a loose end and deciding to clock in and take pot-luck I can understand, for Long Island is full of stray cats walking through the wet woods waving their wild tails, but she, too, has been added to the menagerie, so the score now is one foxhound, two guinea hens, Squeaky the Peke, one of two we brought from New York, and two kittens, and we are hourly expecting more cats and dogs to arrive. I think the word must have gone round the animal kingdom that if you want a home, just drop in at Basket Neck Lane, where the Wodehouses keep open house. Bill, the foxhound and Poona, the cat are both strays who turned up from the great outdoors and seemed to be of the opinion that this was Journey’s End. The bright side is that all our animals get along together like sailors on shore leave. Bill, the foxhound has the most angelic disposition and lets the kittens run all over him, whilst Squeaky of course would never dream of hurting anything. A very united family, thank goodness. “Our garden is a sort of country club for all the dogs within a radius of some miles. They look in for a bowl of milk and biscuit most afternoons, and there is never any shortage of birds, squirrels, tortoises and rabbits. On a good day the place looks like a zoo. “I walk two miles to the post office every day to get the afternoon mail, accompanied by Poona the cat and Bill the foxhound, who Continued overleaf 2 �P G Wodehouse and his animals contd. generally packs up after the first furlong or so. (Someone tells me that this is always the way with foxhounds. They have to do so much bustling about in their younger days that when of riper years their inclination is so say ‘Ah, the hell with it’ and just lie around in the sun. But Poona and I are made of sterner stuff, and we trudge the two miles there and two miles back singing a gypsy song. This keeps me in fine fettle). “I catch – or try to catch – Poona the cat each night. We let her out at about 10 pm for a breath of air, and once out she hears the call of the old wild life and decides to make a night of it. This means that, unless caught and returned to store, she will hit the high spots till five in the morning, when she will come and mew at my bedroom window, murdering sleep as effectively as ever Macbeth did. And I have the job of catching her. “When you are in your middle 70s you have passed your peak as a cat-catcher. There was a time – say between 1904 and 1910 – when it would have been child’s play for me to outstrip the fleetest cat, but now the joints have stiffened a trifle and I am less quick off the mark. The spirit is willing, but the flesh doesn’t seem to move as it did. The thing usually ends in a bitter ‘All right, be a cad and STAY OUT’ from me and a quiet smile from Poona. And then the reproachful mew outside my window as the clocks are striking 5 am. And if I leave the fly-screen open so that she can come in through the window, she jumps on my bed and bites my toes. There seems no way of beating the game. Increasingly Wodehouse’s life in Remsenburg centred on animals ‘Dogs and cats – and of course Ethel – are the only people worth associating with’. His life and work had always been replete with livestock: parrots, gnus, snakes, pigs, cats, and any number of pekes, terriers, spaniels, poodles, Irish wolfhounds and assorted mongrels. All their lives the Wodehouses had been touched by the plight of stray cats and dogs. In Remsenburg their house had become an unofficial sanctuary for an ever-changing menagerie of homeless pets. New York families would come to the Hamptons for the summer holidays, often bringing a puppy to amuse the children. When the season ended, faced with taking a now fully grown dog back to a Manhattan apartment, the visitors would simply abandon the animals to scavenge among the dustbins of the nearest houses. In 1966 Wodehouse invested several thousand dollars to establish a home for a hundred of these strays. Ethel, particularly, would spend long periods almost every day visiting the inmates, feeding and caring for them, and even in extreme old age insisting on special Thanksgiving turkey dinners for the animals. Sources: Wodehouse on Wodehouse Wodehouse – a Life by Robert McCrum “Still though, things have brightened a good deal lately owing to Poona having been bitten in the foot by another cat – no doubt in some night club brawl – and being able to operate only of three legs. One more such episode, and the thing, as I see it, will be in the bag. I may not be the sprinter I once was but I feel confident of being able to overtake a cat walking on two hind legs.” Lillian Barnett, P G’s Emsworth housekeeper, with her dogs 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The East Head structures were first reported to CDAS by local observers. They had been seen intermittently at extreme low tides for several years, but opportunities for detailed recording were rare. One unexpected outcome of the Covid lockdowns in 2020 and 2021 was that outdoor fieldwork by a small archaeological team was often possible when other archaeological work had to be suspended. This site was an ideal target for work during a difficult time. The wooden structures are the remains of two fish traps, formed of roughly circular post-and-wattle pounds between 5 and 7m in diameter with linear lines of posts and wattle panels, known as leaders, which would have funnelled fish into the pounds as the tide dropped. More recent coastal change has resulted in accretion of sandbanks, so they are, for the time being, invisible, though that may change at any time after storms. Even when they are exposed, investigation is only possible when extreme low tides coincide with daylight. Furthermore, work can be curtailed due to onshore winds. Plainly fish traps needed to be accessible regularly when in use so as to permit collection of catches and for maintenance, so from the beginning of the work it was evident that the modern coast must have differed from that when the traps were built and used. The positions of the traps were fixed but the coastline was not. Coastal change in Chichester Harbour was reviewed by the Museum of London Archaeology Service in 2004. They used a technique called map regression, (examining all known historic maps), to show that the sand spit of East Head has moved eastwards since 1786 by over 500m. The location of the East Head spit has changed since the fish traps were constructed and map regression shows that it has over-ridden the archaeological structures at least once. Furthermore, the posts of the traps are driven into intertidal mud containing biological remains (seeds and mollusc shells) characteristic of salt marsh creeks. This combined evidence shows that the traps were originally emplaced in a north-southflowing intertidal creek protected from high energy tidal influence by the spit and dunes. Near constant submergence since then, as the spit moved eastwards, has resulted in waterlogging of the wood and surrounding sediments. In these conditions the deposits are oxygen deficient (anaerobic) so bacterial decomposition was inhibited and consequently the wood is preserved. Most fish traps known from the English coast are V-shaped structures of posts with attached panels of wattling, making fences which channelled fish to the point of the V as the tide fell, where they were concentrated and could be scooped into baskets. The ‘pound and leader’ forms have been reported in England only from the Solent region. In this form of fish trap, the catch was concentrated by the post and wattle fences of the leaders into the circular pound from 1 �The fish traps lie directly offshore from the National Trust property of East Head in West Sussex which it could be collected using nets or by hand. The only examples so far recorded were at Ashlett Creek in Southampton Water, Binstead on the Isle of Wight, (recorded earlier by Dr Cooper and colleagues from the University of Southampton), Langstone Harbour and now East Head. Fish traps are very rarely associated with datable artefacts so dating wooden structures on the shore is dependent on scientific techniques, primarily radiocarbon dating. Radiocarbon dating of oak roundwood stakes taken from Ashlett Creek dated it to around 700 AD and the Langstone Harbour trap dated to around 980 AD. Consequently, comparable Saxon dates were expected for the East Head structures. However, the samples returned post-Medieval dates, from around the mid16th century AD. This was a surprise as it gives a range for use of this type of trap of around 800 years. Indeed the date range is extended further by 18th and 20th century structures of very similar type known from historical records and illustrations and by direct observation in Northern France. The geographical and age distribution of this type of trap is surprising. It shows that coastal communities, living similar lives, were closely connected, so ideas spread. But why do we not see traps of intermediate date between the Saxon period and the 16th century? Perhaps we simply have not yet found them, though Dr Cooper’s suggestion that there was ‘archaeological’ transmission of knowledge is worth bearing in mind. Local workers tend to have good knowledge of what is present in their areas. Could 16th century fishers have seen the remains of earlier, Anglo-Saxon, fish traps and replicated them? Alternatively, it could be that there was independent invention of ‘pound and leader’ traps by coastal communities over several generations. Only further fieldwork will help to explain the transmission of the technique. Plainly this is not spectacular archaeology but is much more related to everyday subsistence. The site provides a window into the economies of coastal communities besides evidencing changes in the coastline which have occurred over the last 600 years. However the coastline continues to change, and erosion is continuing, so the record of intertidal archaeology is fragile. Volunteers and local residents regularly walking our coastline are very helpful in reporting new exposures of archaeology. CDAS will be very grateful to them for their continuing observations and reports. This article is a summary of a report on the site which will be published in the journal Sussex Archaeological Collections. We are extremely grateful to the Council for British Archaeology, South East (CBASE) for funding the radiocarbon dating at this site. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The date of the regatta is not stated but it must have been before 1905 because this is the year that Fred Davis, who wrote the account, emigrated to Canada; he died at Kamloops in British Columbia in 1955. His father, George Davis, was the miller at Nutbourne and at the Emsworth Quay Mill (now the Emsworth Slipper Sailing Club’s headquarters) and had eight sons, who could well have supplied the complete crew of the ‘Bulldog’ – see below – in which the author rowed. George Davis later opened a bakery and provision shop in Queen Street, Emsworth, and then another in the Square. On a lovely summer’s day at the beginning of the century the folk from many hamlets with musical names in this delightful part of England were coming from Warblington, Woodmancote, Hambrook, Nutbourne and other places, travelling by country road, by sunken bramble-lined lanes and field paths. The gentlefolk and gaitered farmers mingled with the trippers who came by char-à-banc and train from the towns. As the visitors converged on Emsworth Square they were scrutinized by ranks of blue jerseyed fishermen, marching and countermarching in the space in front of the ‘Black Dog’; but in stormy weather the fishermen would be parading in the lee of the flour mill down by the water where they could keep a watchful eye on their boats. Just below the ‘Blue Bell’ and across from the ‘Sloop’ sits Captain Boutell outside his door, who likes to let the children peer through his telescope. The incoming tide is entering the little inner harbour as the throng leave South Street at the ‘Anchor’ and cross the wooden bridge by the mill to the embankment which encloses the millpond. Here many linger to watch the nearly naked urchins dive into the deep water above the floodgates to retrieve coins thrown into the water by the bountiful holiday makers. It was one of those days to be long remembered: there was the balmy air, and there was the marvel of an incoming tide raising and swinging the boats at their moorings. The Committee and the judges were on board a buxom looking barge, with lines of gay bunting fluttering from her masthead to stem and stern, and with the fiddlers on her deck playing the music of popular songs. The first races were for the youngsters. The boys and girls who at other times searched the mudflats at low tide for cockles and winkles now raced over the seaweed covered stretches of viscous mud with squares of board looped over their feet. The action resembled snow shoeing, but the resulting appearance of the contestants was something better imagined than described. The races for four oared boats came next: of the teams competing the most favoured were the crews from the Coast Guards and from the navy men on leave from Portsmouth. The other two teams were made up of husky Emsworth tradesmen and of five young fellows from the Sussex side of the county line, being respectively dubbed the Hampshire Hogs and the Sussex Bulldogs. The boats were to circle a barge anchored about a mile down the harbour, but the Bulldog crew knew that on the return leg it was not possible to steer a straight course because of a slight curve in the deep channel. Bang! They’re off! Soon the Coast Guards and the navy men have the lead with their powerful, precision-like strokes; but something then happens to the navy team. 1 �The excitement and the drink have upset the balance of one of their oarsmen; he has caught a crab and bumped the oar of the next man. The boat swings to port towards the Coast Guards, who also swing to port and pull with all their power to keep clear. But it is too late: mingled with the noise of tangled oars and lurid oaths came the noise of a sharp crack of a Coast Guard’s tangled oar; and the two most favoured boats were out of the race which had scarcely begun. At the turning mark the Hampshire Hogs were leading; and, as seemed natural, the cox headed straight for the starting point. The Bulldogs however swung a little to starboard. Both boats ran into the mud, but there was a delay in the Hampshire boat before the crew realised that it would take all of them to drag the boat into deep water. There was no wasted time for the Bulldogs: the crew went sharply overboard two to a side, and the cox did a quick back-flip over the stern. Being in deeper water and nearer the channel they rushed the boat over the shallow spot, with their cox only climbing back in when he was waist deep. The Hampshire men did their utmost to regain the lead. The sight of this final struggle, with the two coxes standing and swaying to pace their crews, brought cheers from the waving crowd until the Bulldogs were able to raise their oars in salute to the judges’ barge as they finished barely a length ahead of their opponents. As so often when there is not sufficient wind to enable the boats in sailing races to show Wraight’s advertising float in 1953 Patricia Fletcher was Emsworth’s Water Carnival Queen in 1953 their qualities, the lethargic movements of the sailing boats and yachts in the light breeze created only mild interest; but the dun coloured sails of the fishing boats and the billowy whiteness of the yachts, as they dotted the sea, were outlined against the green shores of Hayling Island, providing a pleasing, restful sight. Swimming and diving contests followed; and there was walking the greasy pole and the antics of the human seal pursued by his clowning hunters. The carnival followed in the evening. Hundreds of lights were placed in coloured glasses round the millpond shore; and they glowed as an illuminated float bearing the Queen of the Carnival and her court led the procession of decorated boats and set pieces. The air of a popular march from a piano on the Queen’s barge set the tone for a spontaneous outburst of applause. After an interval the floats of the Advertising Competition emerged from their station behind the ancient malthouse. And for the finale a grand display of fireworks from boats moored inside the procession of floats. Rockets formed fiery, hissing arches in the darkness, while catherine wheels, fountains of fire and bursts of many coloured stars drew forth Ahs and Ohs from the young and old whose delighted faces framed the lozenge shaped millpond. And with the last flickering of the night lights, and with the flares exhausted, the crowds melted away. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

In the 18th century few activities required accurate time-keeping (which was not easily available anyway). John Harrison’s clocks were developed for finding longitude at sea. Sundials were a means of estimating the time. Mid-day was marked locally as the instant the sun appeared at its apparent highest in the sky. It is the position of the shadow of the gnomon on the calibrated dial that gives the observer an indication of approximate local time, using the zenith of the Sun as a standard marker. Since time was unified nationally adjustments are made for longitude – unless the sundial happens to lie on the Greenwich Meridian (GM)! Warblington Sundial. Dated 1781, the names Thos Smith and Wm Downer Churchwardens are inscribed at the top On 21st December 1120, close to the midwinter solstice Thomas à Becket was born. The annual date of 21st December is dedicated to St Thomas the apostle – after whom Becket was named. On or near 21st December nowadays (and then) chances are that the sky would not be clear. If it were cloudless the shadow might be expected to lie close to the XII mark when the sun is at its zenith, as time will have reverted to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). In practice, the Sun would be so low in the sky that trees in the south would shade the sundial! The sun might be expected to reach its highest apparent position about four minutes later for every degree longitude the location is west of the GM baseline, or four minutes earlier for every degree east of the GM. St Thomas day, St Thomas gray, The longest night and shortest day There are no known photographs of the gnomon shadow of Warblington’s sundial at 12 noon on the midwinter solstice. The sequence of photographs on the facing page shows the sundial around local midday GMT on 21st June 2020. (The precise midsummer solstice was at 21.43 GMT, 22.43 British Summer Time (BST) 20th June 2020 at Greenwich.) Note that a plumbline dropped from the base of the gnomon showed that the vertical exactly intersects the XII mark but misses the apex of the window underneath. 12 noon British Summer Time (BST). St George’s Day, 23rd April 2020. (The hour lag is due to BST leading GMT by an hour.) The technology in 1781 was impressive! Warblington has a longitude 0°59′08″ W, 0ˑ983 degrees west of the GM, corresponding to local solar time being nearly four minutes later than GMT – 234 seconds (3 minutes 54 seconds), to be more precise. So why is the Warblington sundial showing six minutes late? 1 �13.00 BST The gnomon shadow is left of the XII mark but bisects the apex arch 13.10 BST The gnomon shadow falls on the XII mark. It is local mid-day 13.20 BST The gnomon shadow is right of the XII mark The orbit of the earth is elliptical (ovalshaped), not perfectly circular. Its axis of rotation is inclined by an amount which precesses (wobbles, like a spinning top or gyroscope). Inclination varies between 22ˑ1 and 24ˑ5 degrees away from the axis of its orbit which introduces a further complication. On midsummer’s day 2020 this obliquity was 23°26′12″ (or 23ˑ437°) which complicates matters. For precise work a correction has to be found using ‘The Equation of Time’ which is the variation in time shown by our clocks and sundials. A sundial can be up to 16 minutes fast and 14 minutes slow. The introduction of clocks springing forwards for the summer and falling back for winter occurred during World War 1. It did not concern 18th century Warblingtonians. In 2020 clocks were advanced from GMT to BST by one hour at 01.00 hours on 29th March and returned in October. Earth, Sun and sundials have no respect for this artificial time jump! Sundials will usually be an hour slow in the summer. Unless numbering on the dial is corrected to BST, sundials will give the wrong time in summer. If corrected for summer they will be wrong in winter. In 1781 the church was actually dedicated to Our Lady – Mary, the mother of Jesus. The incumbent rededicated it to the martyr, Thomas à Becket in 1796, 15 years after the sundial was erected. Churchwardens would not have been aware of the pending rededication to Becket or the significance of his birthday. 9.15 am BST Thursday 25th June 2020. Adjusting to 8.15 am GMT it shows the dial has been calibrated well. The gnomon shadow (top) had just appeared as the sun emerged south of the plane of the sundial face 5.30 pm BST Thursday 25th June 2020. In late afternoon the shadow has reversed direction. The gnomon shadow lies at 4.20 pm GMT, suggesting the earlier time of 5.20 pm BST. The shadow disappeared a few minutes later as the sun moved north of the sundial face 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He was surrounded by dogs in his family home and missed them tremendously when sent away to boarding school and College. But one of the great attractions on being able to have a house of his own for some ten years between 1904 and 1914 at ‘Threepwood’ in Record Road, Emsworth, was that he acquired his beloved dog Nance. She grew into a large, amiable and friendly dog devoted to Plum and he was devoted to her. In the mornings he took her along with him on his walk to the station in order to send off his daily contribution to the ‘By The Way’ column in The Globe. One of his favourite evening strolls was to go with Nance along the Havant Road, perhaps to call in at his aunt and uncle’s house on the way, and join a small circle of friends at a local hostelry for a convivial evening discussing events of the day. Later, writing from America to his housekeeper Lillian about his somewhat unexpected and sudden marriage to his new wife, Ethel: “knowing me, you will understand the importance of marrying someone who was fond of animals. She is very anxious to meet Nancy. Our puppy is awfully nice, but no dog will ever be like Nance”. Most of the later posed photographs of Plum and his wife, whether it be on one of his English sojourns, in France or at his American home in Remsenburg, show them accompanied by a dog: “The white dog …. is our Peke Squeaky, who is an absolute angel, and we have a cat which sleeps on my bed every night”. Once settled in America, for some seven years the Wodehouses kept two establishments, one a duplex penthouse apartment on the 14th floor of a building at 84th Street and Park Avenue in New York City and a house in the hamlet of Remsenburg, Long Island, which later became their permanent home. He described the house on Long Island as “at the end of what is picturesquely known as Basket Neck Lane, and has 12 acres of ground which lead down, through a wood, to a very attractive creek”. Bill The first animal to arrive at Remsenberg was Bill: “A foxhound has turned up. It came into the garden and sat down, looking on. It was in an advanced state of starvation, and so covered with swollen ticks that it took two hours to get them off and only the keenest eye could discern that there was a dog underneath. It took a vet working day and night to pull him round. The poor animal had hardly any blood left in him and had to be taken to the vet for transfusions. … We can’t imagine where he came from. He is a beautiful dog and an expert here tells us that he is one of the famous Colonel Whacker hounds from Kentucky. There are one or two packs on Long Island so I suppose he must have strayed. It is clear he is a dog of impeccable breeding, obviously accustomed from birth to mixing with the smart hunting set – there are several packs on the island – and why he is not getting his nose down to it with the other foxhounds is more than I can tell you. I imagine that he just got fed up one day with all that Yoicks and Tally Ho stuff and felt that the time had come to pull out and go into business for himself. It is agreeable to be able to record that his only worry today is having to watch his calories, for he is putting on weight terribly. A fox seeing him coming would laugh his head off.” Wodehouse’s life with Bill was not without its ups and downs however. Writing to a friend he said: “Life, always difficult, has been much complicated of late by the eccentricities of Bill the foxhound. We brought him up from Remsenburg, [to New York] having nobody to leave him with there, and he decided right away that city life was not for him. Alighting from the car, he flatly refused to enter our apartment home, evidently suspecting a trap. With a terrific expenditure of energy Continued overleaf 2 �P G Wodehouse and his animals contd. I dragged him as far as the lift, and again he jibbed. I finally got him in, and then he refused to emerge. Assisted by the lift man, I got him out, and then he stoutly declined to go through our door, which he obviously assumed to the Den of the Secret Nine. When the time came to take him for an airing, he refused to go out of the door, into the lift, out of the lift, across the lobby and out of the front door, and on returning from our stroll showed the same disinclination to go through the front door, across the lobby, into the lift, out of the lift and through our door. “This went on for about a week, when he suddenly decided that his fears had been illfounded and that there were no plots against his person. The only trouble is that he now wants to be taken for a walk every quarter of an hour or so, and I see no prospect of ever doing any more work. I take him for a mile hike before breakfast, a three miler in the afternoon and perhaps another mile after dinner. It’s doing wonders for my figure, of course, but it has made me practically a spent force as a writer.” Guinea hens and kittens Their second arrivals came when Plum and his wife went to a man’s birthday party and somebody had given him two guinea hens as a present. Ethel asked him what he was going to do with them, and he said “Eat ‘em”. Ethel was horrified and asked if “we could have them, so we took them away and built a large run for them in the garden, and they settled down happily”. middle of the road. I went up, and it was a black kitten. I picked it up and put it on my shoulder, and it sang to me all the way to the post office and back, shoving its nose against my face. We called it Poona. “The fact that Poona being at a loose end and deciding to clock in and take pot-luck I can understand, for Long Island is full of stray cats walking through the wet woods waving their wild tails, but she, too, has been added to the menagerie, so the score now is one foxhound, two guinea hens, Squeaky the Peke, one of two we brought from New York, and two kittens, and we are hourly expecting more cats and dogs to arrive. I think the word must have gone round the animal kingdom that if you want a home, just drop in at Basket Neck Lane, where the Wodehouses keep open house. Bill, the foxhound and Poona, the cat are both strays who turned up from the great outdoors and seemed to be of the opinion that this was Journey’s End. The bright side is that all our animals get along together like sailors on shore leave. Bill, the foxhound has the most angelic disposition and lets the kittens run all over him, whilst Squeaky of course would never dream of hurting anything. A very united family, thank goodness. “Our garden is a sort of country club for all the dogs within a radius of some miles. They look in for a bowl of milk and biscuit most afternoons, and there is never any shortage A few nights later their third visitor turned up. “We heard something crying in the dark and went out and there was a tiny white kitten about three Inches long. This was added to the strength. “About a week after that I was walking to get the mail when I saw a car ahead of me suddenly swerve and it seemed to me that there was a small dark object in the Lillian Barnett, P G’s Emsworth housekeeper, with her dogs 3 �4 �Emsworth Museum 10b North Street, Emsworth, Hants, PO10 7DD www.emsworthmuseum.org.uk Tel: 01243 378091; email: info@emsworthmuseum.org.uk All items in The Emsworth Echo are copyright to EM&HT on behalf of the contributors and the views expressed by them do not necessarily reflect those of the General Committee.

Well, his bones have lain interred in Warblington Cemetery for over three decades! Born and raised in Canterbury, Kent he was bored working for an insurance broker. Alec Richard Rose dreamed of travel and adventure, like his brother. This dream began to be realised when he bought a one-way ticket to Alberta, Canada and found farm work. On returning home, aged 23, he married Barbara and worked with his father for six years. When his father’s haulage business was swallowed up due to nationalisation Alec used acquired skills to earn a healthy living on a small holding at Littlebourne, near Canterbury. Two sons were born before and two daughters during the second world war. Joining the Royal Navy in 1940 Alec found himself serving in HMS Leith at Liverpool on convoy duty, attacking and dodging bombers and submarines in the Mediterranean and North Atlantic. On being invalided out of the Senior Service he returned to the market garden trade growing vegetables, tomatoes and flowers. Some years later he took over a retail business in Herne Bay but his eyes were really set on sailing and adventure. Alec met his second wife Dorothy while working on his first yacht Neptune’s Daughter. He had lived alone after the breakdown of his first marriage. The couple cruised the North Sea, English Channel and Bay of Biscay before settling in Southsea where he bought a greengrocer business in 1961. For two years there was little time for sailing but a desire to compete in the second Transatlantic Race was satisfied in 1964 with a new craft, Lively Lady, moored in Langstone Harbour. Although he came fourth Alec did not know until the end of the race. Francis Chichester was preparing to sail the world single-handed in Gypsy Moth IV, a brand new purpose-built craft. There was friendly rivalry but it never was a real race between the two sailors. Indeed Alec was invited onto Francis’ boat for drinks on 26th August 1966, the day before Chichester’s famous voyage began. Lively Lady was laid up in a shed. Gypsy Moth IV was custom built for the task but Alec, loyal to Lively Lady, settled for an upgrade. The first attempt at circumnavigating the globe was abandoned early after a catalogue of mishaps and disasters. Alec Rose remained determined to succeed, in spite of these major setbacks. Alec Rose aboard Lively Lady The following year his successful world circumnavigation began. On 16th July 1967 Lively Lady sailed confidently from Langstone Harbour to Portsmouth, starting at noon. Her crew were Mr Rose and mascot, Algy. A throng saw them off. Passing the Nab Tower towards Ushant she crossed the Bay of Biscay to Cape Finisterre and the Atlantic. 1 �They steered close to Madeira, the Canary and Cape Verde Islands. Alec crossed the equator to reach his first goal – The Cape of Good Hope in October. It would be another three months over the lonely Indian Ocean before he arrived in Melbourne, Australia in December 1967. Here a warm welcome awaited him from his son Michael and daughter-in-law Judy as well as dignitaries and a great crowd. In Melbourne he learned he had been given the Freedom of the City of Portsmouth. His departure in January was greeted by another vast crowd. It was a happy month for Alec Richard Rose. After a significant break Lively Lady set off eastwards. The journey was eventful and the boat needed repairs, arriving unscheduled at Bluff Harbour, New Zealand on 1st February 1968 with a broken mast. Nearly two months later she had traversed the 8,500 miles of vast empty South Pacific Ocean stretching west-to-east and culminating in the challenge of Cape Horn. Lively Lady passed the International dateline Sunday 11th February 1968 while facing the fiercest wind, its ‘fury shaking the whole ship’. On one occasion Alec was overcome by fumes but mascot Algy was unhurt! He faced severe gales whilst recuperating and the yacht took severe knocks. Over 200,000 people lined the harbour to welcome the sailor who enjoyed an escort of scores of yachts and boats. He attended a press conference and a civic reception. Detail of the preparations, journey and the aftermath may be read in the autobiographical account “My Lively Lady”. Alec Richard Rose was knighted and given the Freedom of the Cities of Portsmouth and London. His legacy is commemorated by a pub restaurant in Port Solent, a lane in Portsmouth and a blue plaque in Osborne Road, Southsea. Rest in Peace, Sir Alec, in Warblington Cemetery It was too cold to celebrate rounding the Horn with champagne. A hot toddy of lemon, honey and whisky sufficed. In early April 1968 the bad weather had then turned frustratingly from complete calm to stormy and back several times. The final leg began, from south to north Atlantic and home to Portsmouth on 4th July 1968. At 8.00 am Lively Lady passed the Nab tower escorted by HMS Whitby and other craft, increasing exponentially in numbers. The journey had been equally hazardous as the Atlantic threw its worst. The ‘Great Adventure’ was ending where it had begun nearly a year earlier. Admiral Sir John and Lady Frewen accompanied Alec’s wife Dorothy to meet and greet him at the Royal Albert Yacht Club. 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It contains minutes of committee meetings and AGMs to 1961 and then only minutes of AGMs which include a short summary of speeches by the local MP – Sir Dymoke White, Mr Geoffrey Stevens, and then Sir Ian Lloyd. The final sets of minutes record the arrival of the new parliamentary candidate David Willetts. Here are some extracts from the reported comments of the successive MPs. March 1947 Sir Dymoke White MP “gave a most interesting account of the Bills which were then before Parliament, their advantages and disadvantages: the situation in Palestine, Egypt and India.” March 1949 AGM Sir Dymoke “touched briefly on the Empire and mentioned India, Ceylon, Burma and Malaya and how the present Government had mismanaged the affairs of these countries.” April 1951 Committee Meeting “Capt. Parrick suggested old newspapers be prominently displayed at the Fete showing prices of commodities as they were in the good old days.” March 1952 AGM “Mr Geoffrey Stevens MP gave a very good description of the atmosphere now prevailing in Parliament and illustrated how the experienced and sophisticated members of the Government were more than a match for the socialists who sought to discredit Conservative efforts to rescue the country from mass bankruptcy.” March 1953 AGM “He (Mr Stevens) first mentioned the disappointment of so many regarding the Government’s decision concerning the ‘fringe areas’ and television for the Coronation and although the matter had been taken to the Cabinet level no success had been achieved. Mr Geoffrey Stevens also expressed uncertainty at the effect of the death of Stalin and said we should be well-armed. It was most necessary for the Government to provide adequate defence for the country.” April 1957 AGM The speaker, Geoffrey Stevens MP, was asked how does the Government propose to tackle the problem of a vast array of goods unleashed into Britain from countries such as Italy with a low scale of wages and production costs. The Speaker replied that this problem would take time to settle itself – the Government is right in being prepared to enter the European Common Market. All said we are still the Bankers of Sterling – trade will follow the Bank and we shall be the bankers of the European Common Market.” March 1959 AGM “Mr Stevens then gave an analysis of their attributes of the Government Front Bench viz Mr Selwyn Lloyd, Mr Macleod, Mr Maudling, Mr Heathcote-Amery, Mr Duncan Sandys and Mr Marples. In reply to a question from Mr Wilson as to why he had omitted to mention Mr R A Butler the Speaker regretted the omission and praised Mr Butler’s attributes.” April 1959 Committee Meeting Argument about whether to run as Independent Candidates at Council Election “Politics did not come into Council matters – they would work as Independents.” March 1960 AGM Geoffrey Stevens MP “His remarks were mostly centred round the forthcoming Budget and why there might be no remission of Income Tax, due perhaps to Doctors and Railway pay increases and also if tax reductions were made people might want to spend more and this might ultimately trend towards inflation.” 1 �EMHT President, Lord Willetts of Havant (left) and Trevor Davies, Trust chairman, display the Minute book March 1961 Geoffrey Stevens MP emphasized the point that in view of the African situation “we were still a Great Power and a great Empire and that he deplored anyone who said their country’s days as a Great Power were ended. Our Queen was still head of the Empire.” (NB “Empire” crossed out and “Commonwealth” substituted!) March 1962 “Mr Geoffrey Stevens spoke on the Common Market and said that he was optimistic about the future of the European market if Britain joined in. He thought that the main object of entering the market would be a reduction of tariff barriers.” March 1965 Mr Lloyd referred to … the Emsworth short by-pass and the South Coast trunk road. He said he was seeing the Minister concerning the latter with several other MPs. Col Jones asked if Mr Lloyd would raise with the Minister the possibility of extending the by-pass to the Eastern Road. This Mr Lloyd promised to do.” February 1992 “Since his adoption two years ago Mr Willetts felt he had served his apprenticeship and was raring to go into the election.” 2 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
