... Fish, Flesh and Foul By Wing-Commander E. G. Oakley Beuttler In most of our coastal harbours R.A.F. High-Speed Air-Rescue launches stand by to rescue ditched air-crews. The launch at instant readiness and wireless call should be under way within a matter of seconds. But if things go wrong this picture tells the story. The port after hawser has fouled the mooring bollard on the quay, the ...
... a One Thing and Another By D. B. Wyndham Lewis ALMOST exactly 160 years after the Diamond Necklace Mystery the Due de Rohan, President of the French Red Cross, has been arrested by the Gestapo in Paris for succouring crashed Allied air men. One might say the Rohans are giving History another chance. The real mystery of the Diamond Neck lace (1785) is not how a man of intelligence like Mgr. ...
... One Thing and Another By D. B. Wyndham Lewis YOU probably know exactly what a mouse-like citizen squeaking pitifully in one of the newspapers for simpler modern poetry meant. He meant the plain, straightforward stuff you get so often from Laureates. We once composed a wad of this kind of poetry ourselves, intended for that Oxford Book of Business Men's Verse which is so long overdue. Sample ...
... Tribute to 44 Peggy H.M.S. Pegasus E. G. Oakley Beuttler By Wing-Commander E. G. Oakley Beuttler H.M.S. Pegasus, affectionately known as Peggy to hundreds of Fleet Air Arm Pilots and Observers who were trained in her, was originally designed as a tanker, but taken over by the Admiralty as a Seaplane Carrier before completion. Launched in 1914 and named Ark Koyal, she did good work in the last ...
... a m One Thing and Another By D. B. Wyndham Lewis NOTHING demonstrates the re-awakening of Paris more than the recent re sumption of the Metro, which smells far nicer than the London Underground and is far less terrifying than the New York Subway. The Metro smells nicer than the Under ground because it lacks those foul hot dry chemical blasts which blow through the Underground passages ...
... ■^4 By Sabretache Pace ALTHOUGH it is quite true that furlong for furlong the Grand National, in which horses carry anything from 3 st. down wards heavier weights than those in the Derby, is run at only a slightly slower pace, the fact still remains that the intervention of the obstacles makes any jump race slower than any flat race. The National is a rather exceptional case to cite, because ...

... Crisis in Heaven (Lyric) By Horace Horsnell BEER, a wise old charwoman once observed, is a wonderful leveller; and, judging by this enterprising comedy, so is Elysium. According to Mr. Eric Linklater, the abode of the blessed (as the dictionary defines it) is no peace haven. Its manners and customs are curiously mundane, though the residents to whom we are introduced, and who range from ...
... WAY OF THE WAR By Foresight Tribute ALL the Allied leaders have paid their tribute to those responsible for the early successes achieved in the Normandy campaign. Each has expressed surprise and satisfaction and has indicated that these successes represent a favourable augury for the future operations which are planned and will be fulfilled, presumably, according to a set time-table. But none ...
... All the King's Horses Most of the horses portrayed on this page have carried the King's colours. Big Game won the 2000 Guineas, and Sun Chariot the 1000 Guineas, Oaks and St. Leger in 1942, while both were leased to His Majesty by the National Stud. They are now at Aisabie Stud, Newmarket, where Sun Chariot's first foal was born this year. Fair Glint wdl carry the Royal colours in this year's ...

... Happy and Glorious (Palladium) By Horace Horsnell ALTHOUGH it is a wartime production, this Musical Fanfare has a peace-time éclat. The somewhat grandiloquent title, Happy and Glorious, suits it. It is true Variety, neither highbrow nor low, but just what the general public wants. And since good news travels fast and far, the big Palla dium arena is packed twice daily. The artists who ...
