You must supply the answer. Q. What is a fireguard. A. Come to the Tonic

Hugh Shane (ex Sea Scout) out in "red boat". Good swell and stiff breeze
(N.E.). Boat hasn't filled out yet but water not above floor-boards. Rode
the waves like "Kon-tiki," but didn't risk being beam on, and consequently
couldn't make across bay. Shipped some water (on to Hugh's back) when boat
got too close inshore & had to go out stern first smack into wave. Hard
rowing, so transferred to "Tania" for sail with George Kirkwood & Gerald
Torrens.
Log 8th June 1955: skipper & Kenny helped by Nicky Leran? rescued the
"red boat" which was completely awash after the storm last night. Skipper &
Kenny rowed out in Club punt, towed boat in, & on to slipway where she was

found at Davidson's jetty. The back of the back seat is still missing. The
floor-boards (which were tied is also) and the oars were safe. George

fair, light breeze force 2 N.E. Went round Ballymacormick Point and reached
Groomsport Harbour at 1705 hrs. Tea was eaten here and 1800 hrs. we cast off
again for Bangor. Coming round Ballymacormick Point we explored inlets and
got back to the Yacht Club at about 18.25 hrs. At the jetty wet David

Fo'c'sle.

to Groomsport. Went round inlets going & coming, cutting over sea-weed etc.
& watching sea birds including one heron. Raced back (A.S.M.s boat won) &
Skippers went aground on shallow rock off the Point. No damage done.

shackled onto 1 mooring chain. 'Blue' boat fairly full again; towed in and
bailed. Owen & Ian took 'blue' boat & Skipper & Robbie M.? took the 'red' &

P.L. Ian Adair, with Robin Elliott in other, moderate N.W. breeze with
ensign standing out straight from Yacht Club staff. Rowed round N. Pier &
Bangor Bay keeping fairly close inshore. Pulled boats onto beach at
Skippingstone for rest. Continued round Wilson's Point to Carnalea. Pulled
boats up onto stoney beach, & tied up. Went up to "gorse plateau" on west
side of stream. Skipper & Ian lit small fire & had 3 course lunch (chicken
soup? (!), sausages & tomato, & tea etc.) while other 3 had sandwiches, milk
etc. & tit-bits from pan?!) Had a job getting boat over rocks to sea. Had a
very hard pull home as a breeze and heavy swell had come up. Sheltered and
rested for a while beside North Pier & considered whether we should leave
the boats at the jetty, but decided to push on. The worst part was between
North Pier and Luke Point - at times made no progress at all. Arrived at
B.Y.C. jetty & were met by an anxious G.S.M. whose help in getting the boats
out of the water after our very strenuous time, was much appreciated.

Man's Greatest Shame by Frank Reginald Nolan. Author of "The Great Drama of
Nature"
An Address delivered in Belfast, on February 19th 1926. Also delivered in
the Dufferin Hall, Bangor, on April 7th 1926
 
Introduction: Few pages in the history of our race are more revolting to the
moral sense than those which record the abhorrent practice of vivisection.
All the horrors and devilish devices that the corrupt and perverted mind has
invented throughout the ages with intent to torture lost some even of the
repulsiveness when compared with the frightful and gruesome horrors
perpetrated on dumb and helpless animals by men in whose hearts a perverted
science has silenced the voice of mercy; in whose breasts the panting for
fame and honours has stifled the promptings of pity, and in whose minds a
morbid curiosity seems to have banished the last whisper of sympathy.
We were all shocked when, in 1914, the then German Chancellor spoke of
"Germany hacking her way through Belgium," but it is in exactly the same
spirit - the spirit in which it is declared that the end justifies the means
- that the vivisector in his inferno, euphemistically named ""laboratory,"
hacks his way through the living tissues of animals to morbid gratification.
Atrocities such as a savage would hardly practise even to satisfy a
life-long enmity; scientifically inflicted agonies which might deter even a
Torquemada; outrages and horrors which revolt the heart and shock the
conscience, are recorded from time to time in Medical Journals and
Physiological publications, until one can only wonder what difference there
is between the modern ministry of the devilish cult of vivisection and the
hired torturers of the Inquisition. One can read only with alarm the
last Annual return of Experiments on Living Animals under the Cruelty to
Animals Act, 1876. It was published by the Home Office on July 30th, 1925,
and relates to the experiments performed in 1924. The number of vivisectors
who held licences, allowing them to perform these experiments, was 1,042 -
93 of these licencees being women! The number of experiments performed
is 177,815; that is, 43,032 more than in the previous year? Of these
experiments only 9,162 are stated to have been performed with anaesthetics;
and in no fewer than 4,555 of these cases the animal after operation was
allowed to recover consciousness!
