| 312 | Lewis Nockalls Cottingham was an architect, furniture designer, medieval archaeologist and collector with his own museum in London, preservationist and antiquary, as well as a gifted watercolourist and draughtsman. He was central to the development of the early Gothic Revival and his most important domestic architecture commission was the building of Snelston Hall, its interiors, and Snelston Estate Village for John Harrison.

| 313 | Restoration of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh, Ireland. Archbishop Beresford employed Lewis Nockalls Cottingham, one of the most skilled architects at that time to restore St. Patrick's Cathedral. Cottingham removed the old stunted spire and shored up the belfry stages while he re-built the piers and arches under it. The arcade walls which had fallen away as much as 21 inches from the perpendicular on the south side and 7 inches on the North side, were straightened by means of heated irons, and the clerestory windows which had long been concealed, were opened out, and filled with tracery.

| 315 | The sinking of the Arctic in 1854 The loss of the Arctic, September 27, 1854, an ocean-going wooden paddlewheeler of the United States Mail Steamship Company (The Collins Line), occurred when Captain Luce misjudged the damage done to her after she collided with the small French steamer, Vesta, on September 27, 1854, about fifty miles off Cape Race, Newfoundland. The collision was assured by dense, rolling fog, and Luce, believing that the smaller Vesta was sinking, humanely sent one of his lifeboats to pick up survivors. His second mistake that day was thinking his ship was slightly damaged, when the Vesta, in fact, had actually ripped open a good chunk of the Arctic's bow. Told that his ship was taking on heavy water, Luce ordered full speed toward land. Giant swells flooded the boiler rooms by the time the Arctic's lookout spotted land twenty miles distant. But it was too late; the ship was sinking rapidly. Luce ordered his 367 passengers and crew members on deck, began to organise the lowering of boats, and instructed everyone that women and children would go first. The "black gang" (stokers) rebelled and with shouts and curses they made for the lifeboats, knocking passengers to the deck. One ship's officer drew his gun but before he could fire a stoker killed him with a vicious smash on his head with a shovel. As a result of the panic only one boat and a raft, hastily constructed of spars and wooden rails, took off forty-five passengers. Among the 322 people lost were Mary Collins and her two children, Henry and Mary the family of shipping line owner Edward Knight Collins, who hounded Captain Luce, a survivor, from the seas. Collins screamed that he "had practically murdered" his family. [http://www.historyfromheadstones.com/index.php?id=780] | Nockalls Johnson Cottingham

| 334 | Nominated heir of Alexander II of Scotland prior to the birth of his son Alexander III. Bruce's claim to the throne was based on his descent from David I (his maternal grandfather, the Earl of Huntingdon, was a brother of William the Lion, Alexander II's father.) When Alexander III died leaving no heir other than a 3-year-old grand-daughter, Margaret of Norway, Bruce began agitating for his right to the crown. A group of 'Guardians' was assembled to protect the throne from Bruce and any other claiments, and the help of Edward I of England was enlisted to guarantee Margaret her kingdom. Robert de Bruce later became one of the 13 'Competitors' for the Scottish throne during the interregnum which followed the death of the 'Maid of Norway'. When Edward I of England finally awarded the crown to his only real rival, John Balliol, Bruce busied himself in undermining Balliol's authority. | Robert de Brus

| 342 | According to his daughter Jane's death certificate, Francis was a 'Master Joiner'. The death certificate only mentions the mother's surname - her first name is given as 'unknown'. However, there is an OPR index entry for Jane Dickie, baptised in Galston on the 16th of December 1806, daughter of Francis Dickie and Margaret Campbell. In the OPR index there are two possible entries for Francis Dickie; baptised in the parish of Mauchline on the 16th of June 1758, son of Alexander Dickie; baptised in the Parish of Dundonald on the 18th of December 1766, son of William Dickie and Janet Doak. However, none of the children below are named 'Alexander', 'William' or 'Janet'. Francis and Margaret were married in Mauchline on the 28th of April 1789. (OPR Ref. 604/2, FR379) Francis is very likely the brother of James Dickie. [S67] | Francis Dickie
