# Royal Naval Biography/Bathurst, Walter

Layout 2
WALTER BATHURST, Esq [Post-Captain of 1799.]
This officer was made a Lieutenant in 1790; and confirmed as a Post-Captain, Oct. 24, 1799. Previous to the latter promotion, he had taken the Ville de Paris, a first rate, to the Mediterranean, where he received the fiag of Earl St. Vincent, and from, whence he brought her home as a private ship, about August in the same year. The Earl re-hoisted his flag in the Ville de Paris, as commander-in-chief of the Channel fleet, April 25, 1800; and Captain Bathurst soon after joined the Eurydice of 24 guns; in which ship, being on his return from convoying the outward bound Quebec trade, he captured le Bougainville French privateer of 14 guns and 67 men; and a Danish East Indiaman, about April 1801. On the 20th Oct. following, he sailed for the East Indies with despatches relative to the peace of Amiens.
Whilst on that station, Captain Bathurst removed successively into the Terpsichore and Pitt frigates; the former of which captured a Dutch East Indiaman early in 1805; the latter was employed blockading Port Louis, and took several prizes in Jan. 1806. On the 20th of that month she had 1 man killed and her hull much damaged by the fire from Fort Canonnier, to which she was exposed during twenty minutes, without being able to return a single gun.
The Pitt subsequently resumed her original name, Salsette, and was employed in the Baltic, under the orders of Sir James Saumarez. On the 23d June 1808, Captain Bathurst captured the Russian cutter Apith of 14 guns and 61 men; 4 of whom were killed, and 8, including her commander, a Lieutenant in the Imperial navy, wounded, before she could be induced to surrender. The Salsette, on this occasion, had a marine killed by the cutter’s fire.
​In July 1809, Captain Bathurst conducted a division of Earl Chatham’s army to Walcheren. Towards the latter end of 1810, he removed into the Fame 74; in which ship he was actively employed on the Mediterranean station during the remainder of the war.
Captain Bathurst married, in 1808, Miss Marianne Wood, of Manchester Street, Manchester Square, London.

# Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Bilonja

BILONJA.
Bilonja is a small, but important and rising, village, about two miles south of the ruins of Chechgaongarh; here are two modern temples, not yet finished, and several old statues; among these, one is a naked Jain statue, one is of a two-armed female, some others are of no interest. These statues are said to have been obtained partly from the ruins of Chechgaongarh, and partly from the ruins of a large temple once existing to the east of, and just outside, the village of Bilonja. This temple is said to have been very large and complete, and to have been known as the Nava Ratna, from having nine pinnacles. Out of its ruins the modern temples are avowedly built; of it no trace but a low mound now remains. Close to it is another large mound, about 400 feet long by 100 feet wide; it is known as the garh or fort; below it, and to the north of it, is a large tank.
In the village are some plain pillars of the form of those at Hasra, near Bishanpur Tandwa, or Kawá Dol.
The temples now being built are to Durga and to Damodara. Durga is worshipped by the people here for the sake of getting children, and Damodara (a form of Vishnu) to obtain mokhsha. As the people of these parts are mostly of the Kol and Sântal families, it appears that the meaning now attached to Damodara by the Brahmans, viz., a form of Vishnu, is not the original meaning under which Damodara was worshipped; I rather consider that it was the river itself that was worshipped, for it is well known that the Sântals do not consider the spirits of their ancestors as at rest till their bones have been thrown into the great river. The word mokhsha, too, appears a relic of Buddhist or Jaina doctrines.
Half a mile north-east of Bilonja is a tank, with some statues on its banks; the place is known as Kalyánithan; there are numerous cut stones and statues of Ganeça and of the eight-armed Devi slaying the buffalo, which are worshipped. There evidently once stood on the banks of this tank one or two Saivic temples.
# Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Bhâgalpur

BHÂGALPUR.
Kherhi, or Purani Kherhi, has been noticed by Buchanan, who also notices the caves at Bhâgalpur. As there is nothing of interest about these caves, I need say nothing about them. There are, of course, wonderful stories of their extent and ramifications, but all except one that I examined were small, and the one I could not examine was probably similar to, or a little longer than, the others.
The remains of dargâhs, masjids, and temples in and about Bhâgalpur and over these caves are all modern and of no interest.
# Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Bishanpur Tandwa

BISHANPUR TANDWA.
These three statues are among the finest in Magadha and well deserving of preservation; they are in black basalt, and the execution and design are both good.
On a small bas-relief representing a figure seated cross-legged in Buddha fashion is inscribed Ye Dharmma Râsi Maha Kasyapa; this statue is clearly therefore one, of the venerable president of the first synod, and is the only one I have seen or heard of, of one of Buddha's disciples. The existence of this statue is a proof that in the later days of Buddhism the great disciples of Buddha may have come in for a share of the devotions of the Buddhist congregation.
​The great statue of Buddha stood on a pedestal, which is now placed near it, the statue itself being set on the ground; the pedestal is inscribed in Kutila characters with the usual Buddhist formula.
A small inscribed female figure of Akshobhya is among the collection; the inscription is mutilated; the terminal letters are perfectly distinct.
The chaityas represented in these sculptures are in height twice the width of base, exclusive of the umbrella on top, which consists of seven diminishing discs, measuring in the aggregate height one diameter of the base of the chaitya, the total height to the top of the umbrella being three diameters.
There are numerous other statues, many Buddhist, but a few also Brahmanical. Of these last, the principal one is a fragment of Ganeça, but greatly inferior to the Buddhist sculptures in execution and design.
To the south-east of and just outside the village is a high rocky eminence which must once have been crowned by buildings, as the remains of floors and foundations yet exist; they were built of brick, as shown by the existing remains and by the numerous brickbats strewn about; tradition says it was a garh built by a Rajput Raja named Sobh Nâth, after whom the eminence is named Sobhnâthia.
Regarding the ruins at Hasra in the Kol valley, tradition gives no information beyond this, that the ruins there are the remains of the palace and garh of the same Raja who built the temples of Punâwa; his name is variously given as Tiloknâth and as Banauti Raja.
# Report of a Tour through the Bengal Provinces/Bishanpur Ghenjan

​Bishanpur Ghenjan is a considerable village about two miles north-east of Kispa, on the Murhar; here are several mounds and a few statues; the place was visited and photographs taken by Mr. Peppe. Two inscribed statues exist; one of these inscriptions is merely the Buddhist creed—Ye Dharmma, &c.; the other is a single word incomplete—[Ma] hasramana, the last word in the Buddhist creed.

# Robert E. Howard to E. Hoffman Price, Jun 3, 1936

Sent on a postcard dated June 3, 1936; Written nine days before Howard's suicide.
Dear Ed:
Sorry to hear Pawang Ali has been banished. I can't imagine why. It was a fine series. However I'm sure you'll find another character to take his place. I haven't time to write much. My mother is very low and I fear cannot survive. I have little heart to speak of writing or anything else, but I will say that I have made several sales recently; the first two of the Pike Bearfield series to Argosy, another Spicy adventure, a Breck Elkins yarn to Action (now a monthly and has expressed a desire for a monthly Elkins) and another of the same type to Popular's Star Western. All these sales were made within the past ten days. Best Wishes,
Bob
# Robert E. Howard to Donald Wandrei, c. Feb 21, 1933

Clark Ashton Smith's "Isle of Tortures" appeared in the March 1933 Weird Tales; "Lives of Alfred Kramer" is from the December 1932 issue
Dear Mr. Wandrei:
I've been meaning to write to you for some time, but somehow didn't get around to it.
I appreciate your kind comments regarding my Weird Tales stories; though I'm afraid "The Tower of the Elephant" won't stack up very highly against Smith's magnificent "Isle of Tortures."
I have long admired your work in that magazine, as I have indicated in the letters both to the editors and to Lovecraft. Your poetry is absolutely splendid, and your "Lives of Alfred Kramer" is as fine a work of its kind as I have ever read.
I am glad to hear you are enjoying your visit to New York so well. In reply to your question regarding possible East-faring on my part, I'm afraid the matter is very indefinite. If I go anywhere, I'm more likely to take the other direction.
Hoping to hear from you at your convenience, I am,
Cordially,
[REH]

# Robert E. Howard to Claytons Magazine, Jun 13, 1933

Gentlemen:
A few weeks ago I wrote you asking a release of the British Empire rights on my stories, "People of the Dark" and "The Cairn on the Headland," published in Strange Tales. I have had no reply from you. I note that in the Author & Journalist for November, 1932, your company is quoted as buying "all North American serial rights, but do not purchase and have no control over motion picture, radio, book, or dramatic rights." According to this, I have the right to offer the stories mentioned to the British publishing house which has asked to look at them, with the view of bringing them out in book form. But I would like to have some sort of writing from your company, showing that I own the foreign rights. Or, in case some special conditions prevailed in the case of Strange Tales, by which you purchased book and foreign rights, I would appreciate a release on them. I see no reason why I should not be given such release, since the magazine has been out of circulation for some months now. I realize that things are not breaking well for your company, and I sympathize with you. But things aren't breaking so good for me, either, and this may be a chance for me to make a little money through British publication. Please answer this letter, one way or another. I enclose an addressed and stamped envelope for your convenience.
Yours,
R. E. Howard L.B. 313 Cross Plains, Texas

1. At what period did the feudal system flourish most highly in central Europe?
2. What were the rights of the feudal lord or baron?
3. Did not a privilege known as maiden rights exist under feudal rule?
4. I have heard that until 1889 or 1890 there was in Germany a law which permitted a man to whip his wife. Is this true? If so, were there any limitations to his authority?
5. What are some of the marriage customs of Poland, Germany and Austria?
6. I understand that public whipping was one of the punishments by law formerly in use in the countries of central Europe. In what manner was this done? Were women ever whipped?
7. About what is the population of Czecho-Slovakia?
If this letter should be published in Adventure, please do not publish my name.
