Cessford Castle Cessford Castle is a ruined L - plan castle lying equidistant between the Royal Burgh of Jedburgh , and the Burghs of Kelso and Kirk Yetholm , in the historic county of Roxburghshire , now a division of the Scottish Borders . The Castle is " caput " of the Barony of Cessford , and the principal stronghold of the Kers / Kerrs , notorious Border Reivers , many of whom served as Wardens of the Middle March . History . Overview . Cessford was built c . 1450 by Andrew Ker , ancestor of Robert Ker , 1st Earl of Roxburghe , and ancestor of the Dukes of Roxburghe . It is from this place that the Duke takes his subsidiary titles : Baron Ker of Cessford , and Marquess of Bowmont and Cessford . It is possible that the castle incorporates parts of an earlier structure . The fortalice was built on an L - plan , with a main keep with a wing of almost the same magnitude . With up to six storeys , two of which were barrel vault ed , and with walls up to thick , it was a formidable place of defence . The angle of the building was enclosed by a single - storey defensive gatehouse , and the whole was surrounded by a barmekin and defensive earthworks , a fact that is corroborated by the record of English troops having to use an escalade to gain access to the castle courtyard during the siege of 1523 . The castle was besieged in 1523 by the Earl of Surrey who remarked : " It might never have been taken had the assailed been able to go on defending " . The castle was last inhabited in 1650 . Historical incidents . After Berwick upon Tweed was captured by Richard , Duke of Gloucester in July 1482 , Henry Percy , Earl of Northumberland burnt a number of places in the area . At the end of his campaign , on 22 August 1482 he knighted twenty of his soldiers at the " mains of Sessford . " References . Groome , F . H . ( 1884 ) " Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland in VI Vols " .

Greek submarine Delfin Delfin ( , " dolphin " ) was a Greek submarine ( actually called a " submersible " , " καταδυόμενον " , according to the then current French terminology ) which served during the Balkan Wars and World War I . It was the second submarine to enter service in the Greek navy , after the " Nordenfelt " I ( in service 1886 - 1901 ) , and is notable as the first submarine in the world to launch a torpedo attack ( albeit without success ) against a warship . History . " Delfin " was ordered in 1910 from the Toulon shipyards along with its sister ship , " Xifias " . It was delivered to the Royal Hellenic Navy just before the outbreak of the First Balkan War . Its first captain , Lt Cmdr Stefanos Paparrigopoulos , together with the 17 - man crew , had been sent to France to receive their training , which , in the event , was cut short when the outbreak of the war became inevitable . The Navy Ministry ordered them to sail home , and " Delfin " sailed from France on 29 September , arriving in Corfu on the very outbreak of the war , 4 October . This unescorted , non - stop journey of 1 , 100 miles set a world record and confirmed the abilities of its crew , despite their limited training . However , it also meant that no reserve crew could be trained , limiting its battle effectiveness due to the crew ' s fatigue . From Corfu the submarine sailed to the main Greek naval station at Piraeus , where it remained until 19 October , its crew completing their training and preparations . From Piraeus , " Delfin " joined the Fleet at its forward anchorage of Moudros Bay in Lemnos , but did not sail out until the end of November , instead being engaged in diving exercises . Although the vessel was plagued by numerous mechanical problems , after 20 November it began patrolling outside the Dardanelles , retiring to Tenedos during the nights . In the morning of , the Ottoman light cruiser " Mecidiye " sailed out of the Dardanelles on a scouting mission . At 10 : 40 , " Delfin " launched a torpedo against " Mecidiye " from a distance of 800 meters , but failed to sink it , as the torpedo broke surface and passed by the ship . This is the first recorded launch of a torpedo by a submarine in battle . In its attempt to return to Tenedos , the ship ran aground on a shoal north of the island , and had to drop its lead ballast in order to escape . This however meant that the ship was unable to submerge any more , and therefore sailed back to Piraeus . " Delfin " , along with " Xifias " and the rest of the Greek fleet , were confiscated by the French in 1916 , during the Greek National Schism . When they were returned in 1919 , they were in a bad shape , and the following year , they were decommissioned . Tradition . Two other vessels of the Hellenic Navy have received the name " Delfin " : the British V class submarine " Delfin " II ( Υ - 9 ) ( in service 1945 - 1957 ) and a German Type 149 " Seemöwe " torpedo boat ( in service 1968 - 1974 ) .

Gongo Lutete Gongo Lutete ( or N ' Gongo Leteta ) was a Congolese leader and chieftain during the late 19th century . Biography . As a boy Gongo Lutete was enslaved by Arabs , but after winning his freedom he became a respected leader of the Batetela and Bakussu tribes in the Congo . Ngongo Lutete gained control of the region around Ngandu on the upper Lomani River . In 1886 , he joined forces with the Arab slave trader Tippu Tip near Stanley Pool , where Tip was organizing resistance to Leopold II ' s Congo Free State . On his expedition to Katanga , Alexandre Delcommune was given a magnificent reception at Ngandu by Ngongo between 2 May and 18 May 1891 . When the 1892 – 1894 war in the Eastern Congo began , Ngongo Lutete and his people fought for the Arabs initially , under the command of Tippu Tip ' s son Sefu . However , the Arabs failed to pay Lutete for his allegiance and also for some ivory which he had provided for them . After losing a series of engagements with Francis Dhanis , late in 1892 he changed sides and was accepted as an ally by the Belgians . This infuriated Sefu , who sent the Free State a message demanding that they surrender Lutete to him and threatening to drive his forces all the way to Stanleyville in the western Congo if they did not comply . Gongo Lutete fought for the Free State until September 1893 , when he was accused of plotting to betray the Free State and executed . Lutete was executed after a drumhead court - martial chaired by a young Belgian lieutenant at which no credible evidence was presented . One story says that Ngongo had had his lieutenant , a Songye , killed for some offense . Other Songye ' s complained to the whites , presumably convincing them of treachery . The story went on to say that the whites tied Ngongo up and fired at him all day without injuring him . It was only when they removed his amulets and fired into his ear , as directed by a Luba magician , that the spirits who had been protected him left and he died . The soldiers he had brought over to the Belgians considered the trial to be a miscarriage of justice , and in 1895 they mutinied at Luluabourg and killed their Belgian commander .
