An English observer notes how perseverance yields odd marvels. Robson, the Great Notts cricketer, refuses defeat after repeated coin tosses and shouts up a cheer for another innings. The anecdote contrasts a later tale from Thomas, Earl of Dundonald, about a parrot aboard a ship and a near mishap when a boatswain’s whistle triggers a risky action.
