THE SMILING DEAD
Three smiling corpses were lying in the morgue in the Wimmera town of Natimuk. A detective went into the coroner’s to establish the causes of death. The coroner pointed to the first dead man. “This is Thommo,” he said. “He died of shock after winning $10 million on the lotto.” He then moved on to the second smiling corpse. “This is Bruce” he said. “He died watching his team Geelong win the Grand Final.” Finally he moved on to the last smiling corpse. “This is Bazza,” said the coroner. “He died after being struck by lightning.” “Well,” asked the detective, “Why’s the flamin’ fool smiling?” “Oh,” said the coroner. “He thought he was having his picture taken.”
THIS AND THAT (68)
Andrew Neaum
The Sinfonia that begins Bach’s Sacred Cantata 174 plays as I write. It is a version of the first movement of the third Brandenburg Concerto and I love it.
What I am doing is trying to decide which version of this splendid piece of music I should play at the end of Val McNab’s Memorial Service. The Cantata version is a trifle slower, and has wind instruments added to the strings which give it more body. My mind is now made up. It will be the Cantata version!
It is pleasing that old Bach should plagiarise himself to use again music he had written for an earlier occasion. I do this all the time with my writing. Old articles are pulled out, buffed up and sometimes even rewritten for a different time and occasion. In Bach’s case it is more excusable. Much of what he wrote would have but one performance. Being a man of great and intelligent piety he would never take a sacred piece that he had written to use for a secular purpose. He was quite prepared to do it the other way round, however and turn the secular sacred.
RETURN TO
TRISTAN DA CUNHA (3)
Sun 9 Sept, 2012 6.40am
On Board the S A Agulhas II.
I had a chat to Fr Michael yesterday, he is the RC priest travelling to Tristan with us, a pleasant old cove. He tells me that he is a member a Society of priests based in Barnet in London dedicated to work in Africa. He, however, is seconded to the South Atlantic and based in the Falklands. He flutters his hands expressively a lot and appears to get on well with Anglicans, especially those of a more conservative sort. He is very friendly with the previous Bishop of St Helena, John Salt, as well as the present one, Richard Fenwick who apparently is in England having a pin put in his ankle.
We spent a fair amount of yesterday in the observation platform at the top of the ship. In the late afternoon we were there as we ran into strong wind and heavy rain, exhilarating. The birdoes spot birds with the naked eye, then observe them closely through high quality binoculars, identify them (usually with ease) and list them in a notebook to be put to some statistical use.
We had an excellent steak for dinner last night, cooked medium rare to order. We were joined by the Captain’s mother and father, lovely folk. Afterwards, in the lounge, I had a long chat about religion and politics with Bob and John. Bob is a dental technician who comes from Dundee and has a heavy Scots accent. He has been making visits to Tristan for a good number of years to do necessary dental work. He has loved doing so and is very highly regarded by the islanders. This will be his last visit though. He is past retirement age and regretfully acknowledges that enough is enough. John is an extremely articulate, amusing and sceptical English Labourite. He is married to Debbie, a lovely Tristanite who is the daughter of Lars and Trina, Lars being one of the three Lay Readers who help to keep the Anglican Church on the Island alive and well.
It was sceptical comments on the Monarchy overheard from John that drew me in to the conversation. He is a fascinating fellow, working class and proud of it, with a strong distrust and dislike of the Establishment. He treasures a comment made to him once by a priest, I think on Tristan, who told him always to remember that Jesus was “working class”. He and Debbie live in Weymouth, but have a house on Tristan which they doubt that they will ever retire to. Their one child, a daughter, is about to begin her A levels.
I enjoy sceptics like John, who have a sense of fun. Not least because I too am a sceptic. The great miracle of my own life is that I believe in God at all when so devoid of certainty and so questioning of everything else. Certainly I am sceptical of any attempt to hijack Jesus into the “working class”, “intelligentsia”, “middle class” or whatever. The Catholic Church declared May Day to be “St Joseph The Worker’s Day” in 1955, attempting to baptize May Day so precious to Socialists and Communists into Mother Church. As a less than brilliant versifier once remarked to do this was simply :
.... nasty deviousness,
A Churchy double-cross.
Joseph owned his wood-work shop!
So Joseph was a boss!
I am now off to make a coffee, or should I shave.....hmmmm.
Later: I have just had a shower, splendid hot water and good pressure. We are asked not to use too much water, though there is a desalination plant on the ship. One of the presentations yesterday was by a salty old fellow to do with a particular weed eradication program on Gough Island. It has cost thousands and thousands over the past eight years. The two delightful birdoes, Chris and Mara, he from Northumberland she from New Zealand, have recently declared their engagement. They are in the Gough Team as part of the weed eradication program as well as bird-observing, ringing and monitoring are.It will be a make or break year with this particular imported and highly invasive weed. If eradication proves impossible the weed will have to be merely contained.
Later still 12.50pm
I have just eaten a lamb curry, very good with the authenticating bone and gristle all a part of it. It was followed anticlimactically by fruit jelly and cream. We then repaired to the lounge for a cup of coffee and to watch the bow of the ship plunging up and down, sending great plumes of spray all over the front half of the ship. Earlier I tried to catch this on my little camera from high up near the observation station. The wind was so strong it almost carried me away, I had to lean against the binnacle to us my cameral, though a little one like mine cannot really capture the drama of it all. Later, down on the lowest deck at the stern, the waves were so high they blocked out the horizon, being far higher than the observer. Splendid. There were albatrosses gliding along behind the ship.
We went to the ecumenical service taken by Ben, an armed forces Chaplain. Like so much ecumenical worship it was pretty bland in its attempt to please everyone, though he did his best with the aid of Power Point and was good humoured. He got me to say a prayer at the end and the RC fellow one at the beginning. There were about twenty five or so there I calculated. Interestingly the two cleverest of the boffins were among them.
One of spots on the ship we most frequent is the observation deck. It is a glass enclosed space high up above even the bridge with a bench to lean against, rest your books, pads and binoculars on and as well there are about six or seven seats. It faces out over the bow, offering a splendid view of the great waves spuming all over the lower front deck. Its purpose is to allow specialists to spot and record birds, marine life and activity, weather phenomena and anything else that interests or baffles boffins.
It is interesting to rub shoulders with specialists and most of those on the Agulhas were all to ready to share their knowledge and to answer questions.
Later in the day we went to observ the oceanographers drop a great circle of instruments and canisters down the “Moon hole”, a name no one yet has been able to explain. This is a hole in the bottom of the ship, which when it is open reveals a circle of turbulent, welling and falling sea at the level of the waves outside. Agreat circle of cylindrical canisters to collect samples at different levels down to a thousand fathoms was lowered into the well and disappeared. To perform this action the boat is required to be stationary.
We were informed today that the ship is attempting to arrive at Tristan on Tuesday because the weather is expected to deteriorate thereafter. This means that the regular stops for scientific purposes are to be of much shorter duration. We sat with the delightful Chris and Mara at supper hearing all about their plans for a wedding on the small Orkney island of Westray.
I have now read seventy percent of Larkin’s miserable, but most interesting Letters to Monica. It yielded this:
Ring a ring of roses
Coronary thrombosis
A seizure, a seizure
We all fall down.
My diary records another rollicking piece, unfortunately too scatalogical for the tender readers of this column.
We have also been reading aloud “Three Years in Tristan Da Cunha” by K. M. Barrow, the wife of the Rev. J. G. Barrow, Missionary Clergyman on Tristan Da Cunha in the first decade of the twentieth century. This is a fascinating read, available for nothing on the Internet. It is published there on the splendid Project Gutenberg site. I downloaded it onto my Kindle before leaving Australia. I quote from its second paragraph:
In the autumn of 1904 we saw in “The Standard” a letter which arrested our attention. It was an appeal for some one to go to the Island of Tristan da Cunha, as the people had had no clergyman for seventeen years.
Now, Tristan da Cunha was not an unknown name to us, for as a child my husband loved to hear his mother tell of her shipwreck on Inaccessible, an uninhabited island twenty- five miles south-west of Tristan da Cunha.
She, then a child of four, and her nurse were passengers on the ”Blendon Hall”, which left London for India in May 1821, and was wrecked during a dense fog on Inaccessible, July 23. The passengers and crew drifted ashore on spars and fragments of the vessel. Two of the crew perished, and nearly all the stores were lost. For four months they lived on this desolate island. A tent made out of sails was erected on the shore to protect the women and children from the cold and rain. They lived almost entirely on the eggs of sea-birds.
After waiting some time in hope of being seen by a ship, they made a raft from the remains of the wreck, and eight of the crew set off in it to try to reach Tristan, but were never heard of again, poor fellows. A few weeks later a second and successful attempt was made. The men reached Tristan, but in a very exhausted state. Then the Tristanites, led by Corporal Glass, manned their boats, and at great personal risk succeeded in fetching off the rest of the crew and passengers, who remained on Tristan till January 9, 1822, on which day a passing English brig took them to the Cape of Good Hope.
This was eighty-four years ago. And now the son of that little shipwrecked girl was seriously thinking of going out to minister to the children of her rescuers. Here I may mention that in the whole of their history, from 1816 to 1906, they had had only two clergymen living amongst them.....
Diana and I were enthralled by this book which records a three year stint on Tristan that is closer in time to my own three and a half year stint from 1952-1956 than is 2013 to my time on the island. The life recorded by Mrs Barrow in 1906 is not all that dissimilar to the life I remember as a boy.
The sea continues to be fairly rough, but with no effect on us whatsoever. I too have now given up seasick pills. Diana hasn’t had one for a couple of days. Strangely Diana this morning, having done a little bit of computing, a note to some folk on Skype, did feel just slightly queasy and so we went out for a walk on deck and all was well again. I haven’t taken any pills today and though the sea is rough have had no feelings of queasiness at all and eat mightily. We have taken to walking ten times and me twelve times round the helicopter landing pad after each meal.
We watched a 1966 film on Tristan in the upstairs lounge this afternoon. Black and white and mostly to do with the erupting volcano induced evacuation in 1961 and the return. Later about thirty five returned folk decided to return once more to Britain. Because the DVD was black and white it gave a fairly drab impression of the island. How distant the 1960s appear, years which were Diana and my salad days.
The unattainability of utopia or the Garden of Eden is the ultimate message from it all. They rejected Britain, or most of them did, but have imported much of the stuff they rejected so that today materialism, cash, cars etcetera are to be found on the island, inevitably or course.
Tuesday 11 September, 2012 7.35am
We sat with a young fellow at dinner who is the youngest of the Gough team, a mere twenty two (or was it twenty four?) He applied for the job before even finishing his degree. He had to wait five months to hear he had got the position. So many of them seem so young to the ancient fellow writing this journal. The girl who explained to us the dropping of instruments down the moon hole also appeared very young and breathless. Ho hum or as Larkin would say ogh, ogh, ogh.
I have finished Larkin’s letters to Monica and am delighted to be into AN Wilson’s The Elizabethans. Wilson is always bracing to read, not least for being so opinionated. He starts the book by tackling two great problems with the Elizabethans, the first being their treatment of Ireland, the second their attitude to slavery.
