87208Bexley Heath Thomas Jenkins n.d. after 1853. . First edition. 8vo. 30pp. original pale blue printed wrappers stapled light spotting to covers a fine copy.<br /> Rare. COPAC lists Cambridge University only.<br /><br />In 1848 Captain Granville G. Loch led a boat expedition up the Saint Juan de Nicaragua. It consisted of the boats of his own ship the Alarm and the Vixen and its object was to punish a certain Colonel Sales of the Nicaraguan army who after carrying off two British subjects and committing various outrages had fortified himself in the town of Serapaqui situated about thirty miles up the river. Captain Loch commenced the ascent with twelve boats carrying 260 officers and men accompanied by the consul in his own boat. Passing over numerous downfalls and rapids by immense exertions the party at the end of seventy-two hours got almost in sight of the fort. Unhappily the consul and a friend accompanying him fell overboard during the night and both were drowned. The next morning on approaching the fort the boats were received by a tremendous fire from it and from both banks of the river which riddled them with shot broke nearly half the oars killed two men and severely wounded Mr Turner a midshipman and several others. Notwithstanding this pulling on against the strong current for an hour and forty minutes they got past the batteries and then dropping down to the landing-place sprang on shore and the crews uttering a loud cheer stormed the stockades. The Nicaraguans withstood them for some time but at length giving way fled into the forest leaving twenty dead behind them while twice that number were wounded and two officers and seven men captured. The boats returned down the river and arrived safely on board the ships. Taken from: How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves.<br /><br />Mention is made in the pamphlet of Captain Loch's death in 1853 whilst on duty in Burma.<br /> Bexley Heath, Thomas Jenkins, n.d.

Gleason was a professor at the Religious of the Sacred Heart convent which in the 1930's established the San Francisco College for Women the city’s first college for women. The year 1893 is pivotal in the history of Nicaragua and saw Conservative President Roberto Sacasa overthrown and succeeded by the liberal Jose Santos Zelaya whose 16-year presidency constituted the only signifiicant interval of rule by the Liberal Party in Nicaragua's history until the 1930s. The 'official gazette' contemporarily chronicles the events leading up to and following the transfer of power and thus provides an important twice a week record of the events as they actually unfolded.
