		The CORONER, in charging the jury, referred in pathetic terms to the self-devotion of the men who had risked their lives to save a shipwrecked crew, and considered that no blame was attachable to any person whatsoever, as the catastrophe, however melancholy, appeared altogether of an accidental character.

		Mr Ratcliffe, Assistant Receiver of Wrecks at Belfast, and Captain J F Chevalier (representing the local under-writers, Messrs Sinclair and Boyd), on being informed of the occurrence, left Belfast in a tug steamer for the purpose of rendering assistance.

		Emerging from the dissident calibrations of literary voices joined together in the culture of protest against the apartheid regime, the distinctive writing of novelist, critic and academic J M Coetzee has become identified as one of the most finely tuned among contemporary Southern African writers.
		From the local recognition accorded his earliest novel Dusklands to the international acclaim with which his rewriting of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe story, Foe was received, Coetzee has dedicated himself to transforming South African writing from a blunt weapon of struggle to a delicate and incisive instrument of reflective liberation.
		Post apartheid, South Africa is in a state of flux: a violent country in which a melting-pot of diverse cultures are struggling to come to terms with each other: a cauldron of conflicting forces and tensions bubbling to the surface as the balance of power shifts from one social system to another.

		After following his every move up and down the UK for the past four weeks, the foot-sore travelling Press shared sausage sandwiches and cups of tea with the wide-awake PM.
		Expect Labour candidates and ministers to claim throughout the night that this is still a great historical result that they have won a third term and the Conservatives have shown that they are not ready to form a government.
		I sense that the real losers of the night might be the Liberal Democrats, at least in terms of seats, although they will point out that any increase will be a record breaker for them.

		The film was co-adapted by John le Carré from his own novel, and directed by John Boorman with a delicious spin on the traditions of the spy genre.
		But the shop's alleged provenance is as big a fabrication as Harry's personal history; for in fact, he learned tailoring in prison, where he was sent for burning down his Uncle Benny (Harold Pinter)'s shop.
		But Panama's history is a troubled one, and the ongoing role of the Western powers (particularly the U.S.) in its politics is problematic; so I do think le Carre and Boorman have a legitimate point.
