NOTES AND QUERIES. [11 s. vm. JULY 19, 1913,
Wreck of the Jane, Duchess of Gordon (11 S. vii. 447, 496).—The following may be of interest to Mr. Penry Lewis, and go towards helping him to find out the points he is in search of. Having access to some of Lloyds' old record books, I find:—
Jane, Duchess of Gordon. No record of any such ship.
William Pitt, 640 tons, 3 decks, built 1805. Capt. River. Voyage, London and India.
Regarding the loss of the Hope family, I find, in Lawson's 'Memoirs of Madras,' this is referred to as being the loss of "Mr. Hope, wife and family, in the Lady Jane Douglas in 1810."
Mr. Richard Griffiths is spoken of in the query as having lost four children in the same vessel as the Hope family was lost in. Curiously enough, my father and his two brothers (who were born in Madras) were, when they arrived in England for educational purposes, placed under the guardianship of Mr. Edward Griffiths of Newcourt, Hereford; and Mr. Richard Griffiths, whom I knew personally, was, I understood, Mr. Edward Griffiths's only son.
Mr. Edward Griffiths was a partner in the firm of Hope, Card & Co., Madras, merchants, and the Mr. Hope above referred to was also a partner in that firm.
Could any reader inform me where the 'List of Madras Inscriptions,' by J. J. Cotton can be inspected, and the memorial tablet of the Hope family be seen?
Is there any paper extant showing who were the passengers on board the Wellington from Madras to London in about 1830? My father, uncle, and their manservant were among them. J. A. Thompson.
" RUMMAGE" (11 S. vii. 484). This
is a word generally used in Devon-
shire, and means nonsense. " Whot 's tell
up that rummage vur ? Larn yer biike, that 's
best vur thee," is an illustration of the
word in the late Mrs. Sarah Hewett's ' The
Peasant Speech of Devon ' (1892).
HARRY HEMS.
The dealings with the forty pipes (?) of wine and the proceedings necessary to its transfer from the cellars of the merchants in Lostwithiel to the ship in the then famous harbour of " Fawe," now Fowey, make the extract quoted very interesting to West- Country men. I should therefore be glad to be informed on two or three points : What was really the operation spoken of as "in rumagio....a Navi " ? Can it be
properly translated ; ' rummage " ? What
was the " Gyndage " that cost \s ? Is it
English Latin like the previous " towage-
, . . .per aquam. . . .usque Fawe " ?
