	Sir Owen Seaman (1861 - 1936) - Find A Grave Memorial
		Owen Seaman was born in London, the only child of William Mantle Seaman and his wife Sarah Ann, who are buried next to him.
		Sir Owen is, however, best remembered for his topical verses which appeared almost every week in "Punch" above the initials "O.S." The line on his gravestone, "He sleeps immortal by the spirit-balm of universal love," bears the same initials.
		Sir Owen never married and had no children, and the baronetcy became extinct at his death.

	History
		Both the phenomena and the teachings attracted the attention of eminent scientists and intellectuals in America and (from 1852) Britain, to which Spiritualism was brought by Mrs Hayden, who was both persecuted and insulted by the press and the pulpit.
		In spite of this her mediumship was defended by many public figures, including Robert Owen, Socialist and one of the founders of the Co-operative Movement, who embraced Spiritualism after sittings with her, and many adherents were attracted to the cause.
		In the early days of the movement the most important necessity had been the complete freedom to develop and promote through multiple channels of communication the reception of the new spiritual inspiration without recourse to the establishment of a central organisation or administration.

	HELLFIRE CORNER - The Poppy and the Ritual of Remembrance
		Certainly, by buying and wearing the manufactured poppy, we remember the fallen soldiers, even give thanks that they gave their lives, without much thought as to who they were, what they did, how they died, and even what they might have become.
		It is perhaps the greatest paradox that it took the war to produce such acclaimed poets as Wilfred Owen and Isaac Rosenberg, men who 'bloomed' and tragically died in the conflict.

	Antarctic Book Notes
		With a seaman's understanding and an artist's appreciation for the wild beauty that surrounds him, the Journal is a tour de force--combining meticulous observations with a young man's sense of wonder and, on occasion, terror as he is tossed about by the tremendous seas.
		Sir James Mann Wordie, born in Glasgow in 1889, was the elder statesman of polar exploration - the link between the heroic Edwardian Age of Shackleton and Scott and the mechanised modern era which opened up Antarctica and the Arctic.
		When Sir Ernest Shackleton's dream of crossing Antarctica foundered with his ship Endurance in the ice of the Weddell Sea in October 1915, he doubtless wondered how this would affect his support party on the other side of the continent.

	A Discussion of the Writing of Margery Sharp
		Sharp from Sir Owen Seaman, editor at Punch during these years, reveal that, while her work was not immediately accepted by Punch, its editor took a kindly and encouraging interest in her.
		The helpful Sir Owen, in June of 1927, also suggests an alternate title to a submitted short story.
		Perhaps Margery was anticipating her handsome Major when she wrote (1937, The Nutmeg Tree) 'An aquiline nose was one of her weaknesses, and Sir William's was a real beak.' Or perhaps he provided at least some of the model for the incomparable Captain Hugh Brocard in 'Harlequin House.' (published post-marriage1939) "The mantelpiece clock struck three.
