Pirates of Block Island the Cambridge Youth Bradish
The tale recounts Captain Joseph Bradish, a Cambridge native, who joined the Adventure mutiny aboard a London bound ship in 1698. He and his crew plundered chests of Spanish dollars, hid treasure on Montauk Point and Gardiner's Island, and fled along the Long Island coast after the ship was sunk. Bradish’s fortunes drew arrest and mystery as authorities recovered imitations and pursued the pirates across New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Boston.

A stamp design inspired by the St. Trophime cathedral in Arles appears in France’s latest issue, featuring a 12th century Provencal portal and cloister views. The stamp, tied to a new 350 denomination, mirrors the size and shape of the S franc Rheims cathedral issue. Also noted is a California Pacific International Exposition stamp with San Diego imagery and references to 16th century motifs. A separate item covers the end of a 200-year church war and church union in Stirling involving Rev. J. Pitt and Dunblane presbytery after centuries of division.
