Cross Alastair's Tragic Drowning on Ronaldshay Shore
In a harsh Norseesque tale from Ronaldshay, Alastair MacAlastair is lured to the sea by kin and boyish bravado. Bound to a wooden cross and cast into the surf, he endures cold and fear until a crevice saves him only to seal his fate as fishermen from Eday retrieve the cross and bury it with the body in a windy hill graveyard. The legend of Cross Alastair endures in the North Isles.

Early 18th Century Calico Prohibition in Britain
The 1700 act under 11 & 12 Will. III c. 10 banned imported printed calicoes and silks from Sept. 29 1701 to curb chintz wearing. It aimed to boost domestic manufacture and employ the poor, forcing wearers to use homemade fabrics for 21 years. Parliament later reinforced the policy with a 1721 act under George I to further prohibit calicoes in apparel and household uses.

Cuba War Debt Question From General Foster
General John W. Foster argues there is no international law forcing Cuba to pay Spain's Cuban war debt. He says debt incurred by Spain to crush Cuba cannot be charged to the Cuban republic, and the United States bears no obligation to assume it. He notes Spain retains its government and Cuba’s change of regime does not erase Spanish liability. He rejects the idea that the United States owes the debt, noting greater U.S. grounds to claim expenses from Spain for restoring peace in Cuba.
