Curse Fulfilled as Dalrymple Line Ends in Death
The Glencoe massacre linked curse returns in the death of the Earl of Stair, head of the Dalrymple family. The first earl took part in the 1692 tragedy, and Jean MacDonald cursed the line that none of the successors would bear children. Historically several earls died childless, with the 1840 extinction forcing succession to Sir James Dalrymple’s descendants, from which the recently deceased peer sprang. The current earls have sons, so the line persists despite the ancient malediction.

Signaling Under Water at Boston Vessel Warning System
A new underwater signaling system has been put in operation in Boston to guide ships approaching dangerous shores in foggy weather. Two receivers sit on either side of the ship below the water line, linked by wires to a wheel house telephone box. Shore signals are given by tapping a submerged ball at intervals, and the observer detects direction by the loudest sound to locate the side with the bell. The system proves valuable as fog can obscure lights and fog horns may become unreliable in stormy conditions.
