  §5. "West-Ward Hoe" and "North-Ward Hoe". VII. Tourneur and Webster. Vol. 6. The Drama to 1642, Part Two. The ...
In no case can North-Ward Hoe be dated earlier than about the middle of 1605, seeing that it is plainly a reply to East-ward Hoe (by Jonson, Chapman and Marston), which was almost certainly written, as a retort to West-Ward Hoe, in the earlier part of that year.
The main plot of West-Ward Hoe is a tale of three merry wives who, putting their husbands on a false scent, jaunt off with three gallants to spend the night at Brentford, then a familiar trysting-place.
But the merit of Eastward Hoe is so extraordinary that a play may well fall short of it and yet be extremely good.

The Dutch Courtezan, though a capital play, is surpassed by Eastward Hoe, but, since the drama was written in conjunction with Chapman and Jonson, the entire credit for this brilliant and delightful performance cannot be claimed for Marston.
While it might not be difficult to assign with some confidence certain scenes to each of these writers, the attempt exactly to apportion their respective contributions would lead to a succession of unverifiable conjectures.
In Beatrice, the sister of Crispinella, and in Mildred (Eastward Hoe) we have another of Marston’s favourite types of feminine character, the good, simple girl, modest and affectionate.

Jonson seems to have been living at this time with lord d’Aubigny and to have won the patronage of several men of prominence; but, apparently, he had made enemies as well as friends at court.
In connection with Sejanus, he was accused by the earl of Northampton of papacy and treason; and, in connection with Eastward Hoe, 1604/5, he was imprisoned with his collaborators, Marston and Chapman.
Letters by Jonson and Chapman, recently discovered by Bertram Dobell, 7 probably refer to this later imprisonment 8 Jonson, though fearing the loss of his ears, apparently escaped without punishment.

There are frequent entries with regard to Chapman in Henslowe's diary for the years 1598-1599, but his dramatic activity slackened during the following years, when his attention was chiefly occupied by his Homer.
In 1604 he was imprisoned with John Marston for his share in Eastward Ho, in which offence was given to the Scottish party at court.

 Geodynamo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Large zonal flows (eastward near the inner core and westward near the mantle) exist on an imaginary "tangent cylinder" due to the effects of large rotation, small fluid viscosity, and the presence of the solid inner core within spherical shell of the outer fluid core.
One part of this numerical solution is the rotation rate of the solid inner core relative to the surface, which evolves according to the torque applied on the inner core by the generated magnetic field.
This mechanism is analogous to a synchronous electric motor for which the field, carried eastward by the fluid, acts like the rotating field in the stator and the inner core acts like the rotor.

 The Old Moulmein Pagoda
It was disappointing, then, to discover that it is not possible to look eastward to the sea from any of Moulmein's pagodas: west certainly, and south at a push, but not east.
Certainly, the poem is riddled with inaccuracies: it speaks of flying fish in the Irrawaddy river (the poet's "road to Mandalay") and of the sun rising over "China 'crost the bay".
The expanse of delta in all directions was perfectly complemented by the silence, broken only by the monk's clinking tools and the warm breezes swinging those "tinkly temple bells".

Eastward Hoe (like Richard Head’s The Floating Island, issued decades later in 1673) is in part a spoof on the popular printed narratives of “discovery” (e.g., as published in Hakluyt) and the great vogue for overseas adventure.
Eastward Hoe also pokes fun at the populist embrace of new technologies associated with the navigator and surveyor.
There is one scene where the inebriated captain Seagull and Sir Petronell Flash emerge, water-logged and bedraggled, from the Thames, having barely survived the raging tempest (foretold by the porpoise) in the river.

 Small Unit Actions
Enemy troops at Pointe du Hoe were estimated at 125 infantry and 85 artillerymen, included in the sector of enemy coastal defenses, from the Vire to the Orne, held by the 716th Infantry Division.
With these first objectives taken, most of the force was to push out immediately to the south, reach the coastal highway which was a main communications lateral for German defenses of the Grandcamp-Vierville coast, and hold a position controlling that road to the west until the arrival of the 116th Infantry from Vierville.
A German party came eastward crossing the upper end of the wheatfield; they were starting through the hedgerow embankment into the lane when Dix saw them only a few feet away from his post in the lane.

Bartholomew Fair was acted at court the year before the revival of Eastward Hoe, and at that time the English colony in Virginia was surviving, though it was small and struggling.
Rather Bartholomew Fair and The New Inn reveal the transformations of colonial discourse at a time when conceptions of the project of English settlement in Virginia were rapidly moving from the fantasized abundance of Eastward Hoe to the strenuous creation of a new home for English men and women.
Simultaneously, the actual threatening disorder in the Virginia settlement commented on the colonial fantasy encapsulated in Lord Frampul's renovated home and family, which was in its own way as outrageous as Eastward Hoe's Seagull's land of gold.

 Pointe
Unfortunately, one of the accidents of misdirection befell the Rangers; they headed eastward so far that, when the mistake was corrected, they had to approach the Point from that quarter on a course close to and almost paralleling the shore.
The D-Day fighting at Pointe du Hoe can be followed in terms of two main groups: the force that reached the highway and took positions there, and the Rangers who stayed in or near the fortified area at the Point itself.
The main action of the day was vigorous and continued patrolling, undertaken by combat patrols of six or seven men who went out on the flanks of the highway position, and particularly to the south into the small valley.

 Zaramo People
Zaramo are an east central Bantu peoples whose ancestors most likely immigrated into modern day Tanzania sometime during the first millennium A.D. Oral histories suggest that the Zaramo moved eastward into their current location from the mountainous Luguru and Kutu areas around the turn of the 18th century.
As Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania, has grown exponentially in the last 20 years many Zaramo settlements have been incorporated into the city, and many more Zaramo people have immigrated into the city in search of work.
Most Zaramo cultivation is done by women using a hand-held hoe.

 Thomas Dekker
The next move was the production by Dekker of a burlesque tragedy called Satiromastix, which was full of good-humored mockery of Jonson.
The quarrel was patched up and apparently forgotten, for, in the same year, Marston and Jonson collaborated in Love's Martir; and shortly afterward the three writers, Marston, Dekker and Jonson together produced Eastward Hoe, a lively play with the plot taken from the Decameron but the characters from contemporaneous London life.
Some critics believe the War of the Theaters was partly caused not so much by personal animosity as by rivalry between different theatrical companies.

The "Duke" wastes public funds on himself and his "Duchess," keeps corrupt counsellors and raises unworthy men to knighthood, and generally leaves the state in chaos.
The play was offensive to the new Stuart monarchy, even more so than Eastward Hoe, by Ben Jonson, John Marston, and George Chapman, had been in the previous year (1605).
In the case of Eastward Hoe, Jonson and Chapman went to jail; in the case of The Isle of Gulls, some of the juvenile cast members of the Blackfriars production were incarcerated in Bridewell prison for a short time.

In this year he wrote, in collaboration with Marston and Chapman, Eastward Hoe, which caused him various annoyances, for at the instigation of Sir James Murray, a Scottish gentleman, who thought his country insulted by the piece, the King arrested Chapman and Marston.
Eastward Hoe, which was mentioned above in connection with the collaboration of Ben Jonson, and which dates, like the comedy that preceded it, from 1605, is a criticism of the influence upon the lower classes of the manners of the Court.
THOMAS MIDDLETON, born in London, 1570, died towards 1627, is famous as the creator of Political Comedy in England but before distinguishing him-self in this vein, he composed a ` Tragi-Coomodie called The Witch,' a play curious inasmuch as it includes some of the facts contained in Shakespeare's Macbeth.

If the atmosphere were standing still in space, instead of rotating eastward with the rest of Earth, no airliner could ever fly eastward from Los Angeles and "overtake New York": The eastbound airplane would continuously lose ground and would slip farther and farther to the west.
If the plane headed steadily eastward at an airspeed of 500 miles an hour, and if it had enough fuel to fly for 17 hours or so, it would eventually reach Osaka -- some 6,000 miles west of Los Angeles.
Now, the writers' concocting of absurd numbers is bad enough, but look at what happens when Addison-Wesley's technical draftsman tries to show how those numbers can be converted into a line graph.
