Relieved ship’s fate amid Arctic tasks and social tales
A frail ship that sailed to relieve I Eary Ja is lost, but its crew is saved. Essays on wealthy illness, American sentiment, and the Duke of Manchester’s bankruptcy appear beside notes on a Chicago woman earning a philosophy doctorate. Harper’s Bazaar cites brides, linen showers, and a Todianapolis professor arguing cooked food shortens man’s span. An 80-year-old English bellringer in Trowbridge recalls a life ringing for Jubilee and coronations.
