SAILING-BARGE ON THE THAMES: ROUNDING THE NORE LIGHT-SHIP, 1865. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Sailing-barge on the Thames: rounding the Nore Light-ship, 1865. 'The third annual sailing-barge match took place under the management of...the Thames and Medway General Craft-owner's Association...the course being from Erith to the Nore Lightship and back. Three prizes, the highest being a cup of the value of £18, with ten guineas divided among the crew, were offered for the topsail barges; and three prizes, of rather less value, for the stump-rigged barges...The barges started from Erith a few minutes before eleven...with a spanking breeze from the south, and a little rain; the wind, therefore, was abaft and abeam nearly all the way to the Nore. They got down in something less than two hours; and when they rounded the lightship, the topsail barge Agnes, 100 tons, belonging to Mr. Parker, had the lead well; next came the Surprise, 90 tons, Mr. West; the Francis, 88 tons, Mr. Burley; the Matilda and Amy, 90 tons, Mr. Willet; the Henry, 100 tons, Mr. Hill; and the Robert Stone, 85 tons, Mr. Stone; the stump barges coming round ten minutes later. The wind had now strengthened considerably; and, as the topsail barges rounded in the squalls, they struck their topsails...The Perseverance, 100 tons, Mr. Bromley, rounded much the best of the lot'.

ANNUAL SCHOONER RACE OF THE ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB: THE YACHTS AT THE MOUSE LIGHT SHIP, 1862. CREATOR: SMYTH.
Annual schooner race of the Royal Thames Yacht Club: the yachts at the Mouse light ship, 1862. 'The morning had been very gloomy and threatening, but just before the vessels started it became much brighter and more promising...Flying Cloud at once hoisted her mainsail, and Leonora was not long delaying, but Shark and Galatea waited until they had partially swung before touching their halyards. Flying Cloud made an excellent start, and took the lead, followed by Leonora, and in less than ten minutes the sails, including big topsails, were set and trimmed...A wonderfully close match after a run of thirty miles. Shark and Galatea, of course, were almost touching as they rounded, but Shark had better way on her, and soon shot 100 yards ahead of Galatea. It was nearly slack water, and if the breeze had held good they would have run back faster than they came down; but no such luck. The wind soon flew round to E.N.E., and fell very light, and all jibed except Flying Cloud, which seemed to keep the N.E. wind, and got a long way ahead...Flying Cloud now having a good lead, which, however, she could not keep, and the vessels finally passed between the buoy off Roshervilla and the steamer [in this order:] Galatea; Flying Cloud; Leonora; Shark'.

SCENE OF THE FIRE AT DOCKHEAD, BERMONDSEY, SKETCHED ON SATURDAY MORNING, 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
Scene of the fire at Dockhead, Bermondsey, [London], sketched on Saturday morning, 1864. 'a great fire broke out in the waterside premises of Messrs. Barry Brothers, wharfingers and saltpetre merchants...The warehouses...contained many thousand tons of saltpetre, and, as a strong wind was blowing...the piles and blocks of saltpetre caught fire one after another, sending forth immense volumes of brightly-coloured flame and scattering smoke, ashes, and sparks...Adjoining this capacious warehouse stood another...termed the H Extension Warehouse. This building was filled with several thousand bales of jute, and in less than a quarter of an hour it also was wrapped in flames...It was impossible...to prevent the fire from spreading...The steam fire-engine of Messrs. Roberts...was supported by two steam floating-engines...upon the floors becoming ignited in which the saltpetre was stored, loud and fearful explosions took place in rapid succession, which blew down heavy brick walls and lifted the tiles and roofs...The flames lighted up all the shipping in the Thames...the water itself shone like an immense stream of liquid gold...The damage, which was confined mainly to the warehouses just mentioned and their contents, is estimated at about £80,000'.

THE WAR IN SCHLESWIG: THE 9TH REGIMENT OF HUSSARS...BIVOUACKING ON THE BATTLEFIELD..., 1864. CREATOR: UNKNOWN.
The War in Schleswig: the 9th regiment of hussars (Prince Liechtenstein's) bivouacking on the battlefield of Over-Selk after the fight - from a sketch by our special artist, 1864.'Far as the eye could reach we saw...the smoke of camp fires. Since Monday 15,000 Austrians and as many more Prussians have had to bivouac in the open air. The country between Breckendorf and Over-Selk was of the bleakest and most inhospitable description...Hedges there were none, as the Danes had cut down what few there existed previously to their retreat...The snow lay an inch and a half deep on the ground when we arrived, and the temperature was not a degree above zero. As we afterwards learnt from the officers and men themselves, the privations they had undergone from Tuesday to Thursday were fearful in the extreme. By Tuesday night there was not a crumb of broad or a glass of drink in any of the few villages in the neighbourhood for miles round. On Wednesday and Thursday the majority of the troops had nothing beyond a slice of black bread to eat and cold water to drink...The army had brought not a single tent with it, and in this wintry weather the men had had to pass three nights in the open air while it was constantly snowing, raining, or freezing'.
