Question: What profession does Edmund Candler and Rudyard Kipling have in common?
Context: "His Chance in Life" is a short story by Rudyard Kipling.  It was first published in the first Indian edition of "Plain Tales from the Hills" (1888), and in subsequent editions of that collection.  The story is illuminating about Kipling's attitudes to race, which are less cut-and-dried than is often thought.  Kipling is interesting, if not very detailed, on people of mixed race and the snobberies involved.  (For some detail, see the Kipling Society notes.) The Rudyard Kipling was a British steam trawler launched in 1920 that undertook fishing operations off the coasts of Great Britain and Ireland for almost 20 years.  On 16 September 1939, shortly after the outbreak of World War II, the trawler was captured 40 miles west of Clare Island by the German submarine "U-27" .  After removing food, equipment, and the crew from the ship, the Germans sunk her with the use of scuttling charges.  Several hours later the crew of the "Rudyard Kipling" were cast adrift 5 nmi off the coast of Ireland.  They eventually landed their lifeboats at Killybegs. Rudyard Kipling: A Remembrance Tale was a 1-hour 2006 BBC documentary on the life of Rudyard Kipling, particularly as relating to his loss of his son during the First World War.  It was presented by Griff Rhys Jones and starred Peter Guinness as Kipling.  It premiered on BBC One on Remembrance Sunday 2006. Edmund Candler (1874 – 1926) was an English journalist, novelist and educator notable for his literary depictions of colonial India.  His fictional tropes and settings are comparable in many ways to those of Rudyard Kipling, a writer whom he self-consciously imitated. Naulakha, also known as the Rudyard Kipling House, is a historic Shingle Style house on Kipling Road in Dummerston, Vermont, a few miles outside Brattleboro.  The house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1993 for its association with the author Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), who had it built in 1893 and made it his home until 1896.  It is in this house that Kipling wrote "Captains Courageous", "The Jungle Book", "The Day's Work", and "The Seven Seas", and did work on "Kim" and "The Just So Stories".  Kipling named the house after the Naulakha Pavilion, situated inside Lahore Fort in Pakistan.  The house is now owned by the Landmark Trust, and is available for rent. Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book is a 1994 live-action American adventure film co-written and directed by Stephen Sommers, produced by Edward S. Feldman and Raju Patel, from a story by Ronald Yanover and Mark Geldman.  It is the second film adaptation by The Walt Disney Company of the Mowgli stories from "The Jungle Book" and "The Second Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling. Stalky & Co. is a novel by Rudyard Kipling about adolescent boys at a British boarding school.  It is a collection of school stories whose juvenile protagonists display a know-it-all, cynical outlook on patriotism and authority.  According to his family, Kipling enjoyed reading aloud stories from "Stalky & Co." to them and often went into spasms of laughter over his own jokes.  It was first published in 1899 (following serialisation in the "Windsor Magazine").  Reflecting its origins, the novel is episodic in nature, with self-contained chapters.  It is set at an unnamed school referred to as "the College" or "the Coll." , which is based on the United Services College in Devon, which Kipling attended.  The character Beetle, one of the main trio, is partly based on Kipling himself, while the charismatic character Stalky is based on Lionel Dunsterville, M'Turk is based on George Charles Beresford, Mr King is based on William Carr Crofts, and the school Head, Mr. Bates, is based on Cormell Price. Thus Rudyard Kipling introduces, in the story "The Three Musketeers" (1888) three characters who were to reappear in many stories, and to give their name to his next collection "Soldiers Three".  Their characters are given in the sentence that follows: "Collectively, I think, but am not certain, they are the worst men in the regiment so far as genial blackguardism goes"—that is, they are 'trouble' to authority, and always on the lookout for petty gain; but Kipling is at pains never to suggest that they are evil or immoral.  They are representative of the admiration he has for the British Army—which he never sought to idealise as in any way perfect—as in the poems collected in "Barrack-Room Ballads" (1892), and also show his interest in, and respect for the 'uneducated' classes.  Kipling has great respect for the independence of mind, initiative and common sense of the three—and their cunning. A Choice of Kipling's Verse, made by T. S. Eliot, with an essay on Rudyard Kipling is a book first published in December 1941 (by Faber and Faber in UK, and by Charles Scribner's Sons in U.S.A.).  It is in two parts.  The first part is an essay by American-born British poet T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), in which he discusses the nature and stature of British poet Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936); it is divided into two sections.  The second part consists of a selection of Kipling's poems made by Eliot.
