​DAY. (Lieutenant, 1815.)
Bartholomew George Smith Day entered the Navy, 27 Nov. 1804, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Amsterdam frigate, Capt. Wm. Ferris, employed in the West Indies; and, on next joining the Revenge 74, Capt. Robt. Moorsom, took part, as Midshipman, in the battle of Trafalgar, 21 Oct. 1805. Until Nov. 1808, he afterwards became attached in succession, on the Channel and Halifax stations, to the Medusa 32, Capt. Hon. Duncombe Pleydell Bouverie, Leopard 50, flag-ship of the Hon. Geo. Cranfield Berkeley, and Chibucto and Bream schooners, both commanded by Lieut. Geo. Gover Miall. Being then appointed Acting-Master of the Supérieure sloop, Capts. Wm. Ferrie, Humphrey Fleming Senhouse, Henry Conyngham Coxen, and Robt. Russell, he assisted, in company with the Horatio and Latona, at the capture, on 10 Feb. 1809, of the French 40-gun frigate La Junon, after a contest in which the Supérieure figured very conspicuously; and, in the same and the following year, he was also present at the reduction of the islands of Martinique, Guadeloupe, and St. Martin. Between Oct. 1810 and his promotion to the rank of Lieutenant, – which took place 11 Feb. 1815, three years after he had passed his examination, – Mr. Day appears to have been next employed – in the Royal Sovereign yacht, in the river Thames – the Dominica sloop, Capt. Robt. Hockings, and Queen 74, flag-ship of Sir Fras. Laforey, both on the West India station – and the Cyrus 20, Capt. Wm. Fairbrother Carroll, off the coast of France. From April to Sept. 1815, he afterwards served in the Slaney 20, Capt. Geo. Rose Sartorius; but since the latter date he has not been afloat.
Lieut. Day, when in the Bream, in Chesapeake Bay, had the good fortune to suppress a mutiny which had broken out on board that vessel. He holds an appointment at present in the Quarantine Service. Agent – J. Hinxman.

​DAWSON. (Capt., 1841. f-p., 13; h-p., 25.)
William Dawson (a) entered the Navy, 24 June, 1809, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Active of 46 guns, Capt. Jas. Alex. Gordon, attached to the fleet, in the Mediterranean. On 12 Feb. 1811, he assisted, as Midshipman, in the boats under Lieut. Jas. Dickinson, at the capture of a convoy, fearfully protected, in the harbour of Ortona; subsequently to which, on 13 March following, we find him enacting a part in the memorable action off Lissa, when a British squadron, carrying in the whole 156 guns and 879 men, completely routed, after a conflict of six hours, and a loss to the Active of 4 men killed and 24 wounded, a Franco-Venetian squadron, whose force amounted to 284 guns and 2655 men. From July, 1811, to Sept. 1814, he next served on the Irish and West India stations in the Leonidas 38, Capts. Anselm John Griffiths, Fred. ​Wm. Aylmer, and Geo. Fras. Seymour; under the latter of whom he assisted at the chase and capture of the Paul Jones, American privateer, of 16 guns and 85 men. He then removed to the Cyane, of 32 guns and 171 men, Capt. Gordon Thos. Falcon; and on 20 Feb. 1815, off Madeira, joined, as Master’s Mate, in a fierce action, which terminated in the capture, by the United States frigate Constitution, of 54 guns and 469, of the Cyane (whose loss on the occasion amounted to 6 killed and 13 wounded), and of her consort, the Levant, of 20 guns and 131 men. Being soon afterwards restored to liberty in consequence of the peace, Mr. Dawson returned home on board the Dragon 74, Capt. Robt. Barrie; and from the following Oct. until Sept. 1816, was employed in the West Indies, part of the time as Acting-Lieutenant, in the Briseis 10, Capt. Geo. Domett. Between Feb. 1821, and the receipt of his first commission, which he did not obtain until 14 Dec. following, five years previously to which period he had passed his examination, he further served in the Albion 74, Capt. Rich. Raggett, and cruized for some time with George IV. in the Royal George yacht, Capt. Hon. Sir Chas. Paget. After a subsequent attachment of four months to the Ganges 74, he rejoined the Royal George, Capts. Geo. Mundy and Adolphus FitzClarence; and continued in that vessel, from 14 Jan. 1830, until promoted to the rank of Commander, 6 July, 1832. Capt. Dawson, whose next appointment was to the command, 7 March, 1840, of the Victor 16, on the North America and West India station, has been on half-pay since his attainment of Post-rank, 23 Nov. 1841.

When Lois Cayley is left penniless at the death of her stepfather, she decides—no, not to teach, as her friend suggests but—"going out, simply in search of adventure. What adventure may come, I have not at this moment the faintest conception. The fun lies in the search, the uncertainty, the toss-up of it. What is the good of being penniless—with the trifling exception of twopence—unless you are prepared to accept your position in the spirit of a masked ball at Covent Garden?'" … Sure enough, she finds them.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Wrist Touch

​WRIST TOUCH (Ger. Handgelenk). In pianoforte playing, detached notes can be produced in three different ways, by movement of the finger, by the action of the wrist, and by the movement of the arm from the elbow. [Staccato.] Of these, wrist-touch is the most serviceable, being available for chords and octaves as well as single sounds, and at the ​same time less fatiguing than the movement from the elbow. Single-note passages can be executed from the wrist in a more rapid tempo than is possible by means of finger-staccato.
In wrist-touch, the fore-arm remains quiescent in a horizontal position, while the keys are struck by a rapid vertical movement of the hand from the wrist joint. The most important application of wrist-touch is in the performance of brilliant octave-passages; and by practice the necessary flexibility of wrist and velocity of movement can be developed to a surprising extent, many of the most celebrated executants, among whom may be specially mentioned Alexander Dreyschock, having been renowned for the rapidity and vigour of their octaves. Examples of wrist octaves abound in pianoforte music from the time of Clementi (who has an octave-study in his Gradus, No. 65), but Beethoven appears to have made remarkably little use of octave-passages, the short passages in the Finale of the Sonata in C, Op. 2, No. 3, and the Trio of the Scherzo of the Sonata in C minor for Piano and Violin, Op. 30, No. 2, with perhaps the long unison passage in the first movement of the Concerto in E♭ (though here the tempo is scarcely rapid enough to necessitate the use of the wrist), being almost the only examples. A fine example of wrist-touch, both in octaves and chords, is afforded by the accompaniment to Schubert's 'Erl King.'
In modern music, passages requiring a combination of wrist and finger movement are sometimes met with, where the thumb or the little finger remains stationary, while repeated single notes or chords are played by the opposite side of the hand. In all these cases, examples of which are given below, although the movements of the wrist are considerably limited by the stationary finger, the repetition is undoubtedly produced by true wrist-action, and not by finger-movement. Adolph Kullak (Kunst des Anschlags) calls this 'half-wrist touch' (halbes Handgelenk).
Schumann, 'Reconnaisance' (Carneval).
Thalberg, 'Mose in Egitto.'
In such frequent chord-figures as the following, the short chord is played with a particularly free and loose wrist, the longer one being emphasized by a certain pressure from the arm.
Mendelssohn, Cello Sonata (Op. 45).

ANACREONTIC.
Let the thunder burst,
Pour out and drink the wine!
Thou never saw'st a thunderbolt
Strike the tender vine.
Vesuvius himself
To Bacchus tribute pays,
And spares the vineyard flourishing,
Where his lava sways.
In Italy in vain
I hero sought or sage;
Mine eyes but dusty ruins found,
Mouldering with age.
Of Rome the image scarce
Remains to be portray'd;
A tomb is Herculaneum,
Pompeii is a shade.
But I found Falernum,
His nectar rich remain'd,
And in memory of Horace,
A bottleful I drain'd.
# Modern Poets and Poetry of Spain/Bacchanalian

BACCHANALIAN.
In chorus we sing, of wine, sweet wine,
Its power benign, and its flavour divine.
Against power so sweet
No guard is secure,
Nor gate, nor yet wall,
Nor will castle endure,
Nor doubtings, nor watchings,
How strict or demure.
Chorus.
With thee the fair maiden
Shows herself fairer,
With thee has the matron
New beauty to glare her;
Ev'n the sad widow
Finds love an ensnarer.
Chorus.
With thee the poor captive,
Though heavy his chains,
Ne'er feels in his feasting
Or torments or pains,
But a place with his lord
As an equal he gains.
Chorus.
With thee the worn seaman
The south wind defies,
While echoes the thunder
He singing replies,
And of winds and the waves
Will the fury despise.
Chorus.
Thou hast power o'er the lip
Of the fool and the sage,
From the breast to root out
Gall, venom and rage,
What rancour and envy
Would hide, to assuage.
Chorus.
With thee will the coward
Of courage make show,
The niggard so vile
Learn bounteous to grow,
And the feeble and old
Fresh vigour to know.
Chorus.
Thy colour so pure
Outrivals the flowers,
Thy odorous essence
The rich myrrh's showers,
The rosemary honey
Thy taste overpowers.
Chorus.
Oblivion thou givest
To troubles and sorrow,
Joys fleeting a show
Of eternal to borrow,
And robb'st of its horrors
The fate of tomorrow.
In chorus we sing, of wine, sweet wine,
Its power benign, and its flavour divine.
