In World War I she served with the Royal Navy and was sunk by a U-boat in 1917. SS Ortona was the last ship that Pacific Steam built for the London-to-Australia route. Launched on 10 July 1899 and registered in Liverpool on 26 October she left London on her maiden voyage was on 24 November in a joint service with the Orient Steam Navigation Company. She carried 140 first-class 180 second-class and 300 third-class passengers a total of 620. In December 1902 Ortona was used to return troops to the UK after the end of the Second Boer War. On 8 May 1906 Ortona was sold to the Royal Mail Steam Packet Company who used her in a joint operation with the Orient line to Australia. The "All Golds" professional New Zealand Rugby League team travelled on Ortona from Australia to France via Ceylon in August/September 1907. In April 1909 she was transferred to the Royal Mail West Indies service. In 1910 she was sent to the Harland & Wolff shipyard in Belfast for conversion into a 320-capacity cruise ship with a new gross tonnage of 8939. She was renamed RMS Arcadian on 21 September 1910 as the RMSP's liners had names beginning with the letter "A" and was registered at Belfast in September of the following year. She started her first world cruise in January 1912 the largest dedicated cruise ship in the world at that time. She was on the first leg of this voyage that Olave St Claire Soames met Lieutenant General Sir Robert Baden-Powell the founder of the Scout Movement leading to their marriage in October of that year. In February 1915 near the start of the First World War Arcadian was taken up by the Admiralty and converted to an armed merchant cruiser. On 7 April 1915 at Alexandria General Sir Ian Hamilton came aboard and used Arcadian together with the battleship Queen Elizabeth as his headquarters ship during the opening phase of the Gallipoli Campaign. Once Hamilton's staff had transferred to a shore base at Imbros Arcadian was employed as a troop ship in the Mediterranean. On 15 April 1917 Arcadian was en route from Thessaloniki Salonika to Alexandria with a company of 1335 troops and crew and escorted by a Japanese Navy destroyer. Shortly after completing a boat drill while 26 miles north east of the Greek island of Milos Arcadian was hit by a single torpedo from the German submarine SM UC-74 and sank within six minutes with the loss of 279 lives. A contemporary newspaper article described how four of Arcadian's overcrowded lifeboats were successfully lowered before she sank. Some of the dead were cooks and stokers who were working below decks. The escorting destroyer had two torpedoes launched at her while she was attempting to rescue men from the water; survivors reported that she had lowered three of her own boats while going "at full speed". More survivors who had been clinging to a raft were rescued at midnight by the Q-ship HMS Redbreast. Among the dead was the eminent bacteriologist Sir Marc Armand Ruffer who was returning to Alexandria after advising on the control of an epidemic among troops based at Thessaloniki.

177644973Paris Imprimerie Royale 1776. 4to. Extract from "Mémoires de Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Année 1773. Pp. 37-232. a. 1 folded engraved plate. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Laplace's famous double-memoir in which he made a coupling of probability theory with astronomy. The first memoir here is his third memoir on probability a follow-up of his groundbreaking paper "Mémoire sur la Probabilité des Causes par les Évènemens" from the same year; the main portion of the paper deals with the theory of chances. He solves different problems that of odd and even a solid has p equal faces which are numbered 22.p: required the probability that in the course of n throws the faces will occur in the order of 12.p. a complicate problem arising with more players the Problem of Points in the case of two players and with 3 players on Duration and Play."The present memoir may be regarded as a collection of examples in the history of Finite Differences"Todhunter.The second memoir constitutes Laplace's "FIRST COMPREHENSIVE PIECE ON THE MECHANICS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM" and his theory of the gravitational force. His modifications of Newton's laws set forth here became the foundation for his developed celestial mechanics."A close reading of the astronomical part of the dual memoir Laplace’s first comprehensive piece on the mechanics of the solar system serves to temper the conventional image of a vindicator of Newton’s law of gravity against the evidence for decay of motion in the planets. Nothing is said about apparent anomalies gathering toward a cosmic catastrophe;on the contrary the state of the universe is assumed to be steady. The problem is not whether the phenomena can be deduced from the law of universal gravity but how to do it. Since that appeared to be impossible on a strict Newtonian construction of the evidence Laplace proposed modifying the law of gravity slightly. He proceeded to try out the notion that gravity is a force propagated in time instead of instantaneously. Its quantity at a given point would then depend on the velocity of bodies as well as on their mass and distance. Even more interesting the reasoning in this argument was not that of normal mathematical astronomy but was of the type that he brought to physics in other much later writings. Lastly in a problem that he did handle in the tradition of theoretical astronomy namely in the secular variations in the mean motions of Jupiter and Saturn the conclusion is that the mutual attraction of the plants cannot account for them contrary to what we expect from Mécanique céleste."DSB. </em> unknown
