A former railway signalman describes an illness that almost seized him while on duty. After a spell of intense pressure he asked for a brief leave and nearly collapsed as a phantom grip held his hands. He recovered, but a breakdown halted his career when a special train broke down nearby.
The account recalls Wellington’s plain tastes and frugal living, Strathfieldsaye improvements, and a French cook who quit over salary. It recounts Lord and Lady Loch’s Wofrefontein visit, President Kruger’s cautious courtesies, and a Pretoria concert where Kruger arrived late, remarking on ladies’ dress and pacing.
The article explains emery formation on Naxos in the eastern Mediterranean. Workers blast massive beds and use heat to crack blocks then lever them apart. Blocks are reduced to cubic feet and shipped worldwide. Emery serves wheel polishing, sharpening tools, and emery paper production.
