FOOTNOTES:
[1] The poet adds a footnote of facts. “The ship, when first she
filled, fell over so as to dip the flag at her masthead into the sea.
Then rolling back, she fell over to the other side till her yard-arms
touched the water. She then righted, and sunk nearly upright. While
she was sinking, nearly every soul on board came on deck; and I was
told by Admiral Sotheby, then a lieutenant on board the next ship,
that as she went down, this mass of people gave a cry so lamentable,
that it was still ringing in his ears. It was supposed that at the
time of the accident, above a thousand persons, men and women, were on
board; not four hundred were saved. The eddy made by the sinking ship
was so great that a large victualling barge which lay alongside was
drawn in, and lost with her.”
[2] The _Errata_ volume of the D.N.B. does penance for a curious slip
in its account of this half-forgotten worthy, where the Shepherd’s
Bush Public Library is stated to be a joint-memorial to him and to
Charles Keene. I was so struck by this odd conjunction of patron
saints, that I made a pilgrimage of veridification to their reputed
shrine, and found it was _Leigh Hunt’s_ memory that has been not so
unequally yoked together with the _Punch_ artist’s.
[3] There is a model of this broken corner of the shore on the ground
floor of the Geological Museum in Jermyn Street, but hardly on a large
enough scale to display its beauty.
