OLIVIER LE MAY (1734-1797), An English Squadron of the Red encountering multiple water spouts, probably off Gibraltar, whilst in pursuit of a Spanish armed merchantman, Signed ‘O Le May’ (lower left on stern of principal two-decker), Oil on canvas, 19½ x 29in. (49.5 x 73.7cm.), This intriguing scene undoubtedly records an incident which has yet to be properly identified. Frustratingly, the artist has signed the picture where the most obvious clue - the vessel’s name - might have been put. However, the vessel apparently aground under the headland, is flying a white flag with a red saltire - although Ireland was not fully part of the Union of Great Britain at that time, neither did she maintain a significant navy, merchant or otherwise; The most likely candidate would seem to be the “Ragged Cross” flag. This ‘Cross of Burgundy’ as it is also known, was in use as the Spanish naval ensign between 1506-1701, and as a Biscayan merchant ensign between 1511 and 1830. If this is indeed a Spanish armed merchantman run ashore by British vessels intent on booty, there are several Wars which would have provided them with a suitable excuse, however the looming headland in the middle distance looks distinctly like the famous Rock of Gibraltar which has served as a notorious flash-point between Great Britain and Spain ever since it was handed over in perpetuity by the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.

AN HISTORICALLY INTERESTING PAIR OF WORLD WAR II JAPANESE NAVAL BRIDGE/CONNING TOWER ‘BIG EYE’ BINOCULARS CAPTURED BY H.M.S. EURYALUS 1943-5, with 3in. diameter objective lenses, folding sights, adjustable eye-piece with individual focusing, trunnion mounts with radial quadrant and handle, finished in original grey paint and contained within fitted wooden box with lid inscribed The Superintendent / Admiralty Research Laboratory, / Teddington, / Middlesex. / Via. S.N.S.O. at Ports concerned. / Case No. E.C. 4624/155 / from Capt., R. O-B. H.M.S. Euryalus. Cased measurements -- 9¾ x 22¼ x 16in. (25 x 56.5 x 40.5cm.), Provenance: Capt. Richard Oliver-Bellasis (1900-1964), Commander of H.M.S. Euryalus 1943-45 and thence by descent, According to family history, having captured this pair of binoculars and sent them for examination, the Admiralty had no further use for them and returned them to his care. They have languished in the painted and partially-padded box he sent them in ever since and remain in highly original condition. Oliver-Bellasis was a specialist in underwater defences and in charge of experimental mine sweeping before the war. He joined Euryalus on 15 August 1943 - just after her epic service escorting the famous Malta convoys. On 27 August, Euryalus hoisted the flag of Rear-Admiral Vian, in command of Force V, consisting of five escort carriers and three cruisers. Force V provided co-ordinated air cover for the assault on Salerno on 9 September 1943. By 12 September 1943, an airfield had been established ashore and the force withdrew. A powerful German counter-offensive was mounted on 14 September 1943 and Euryalus, Cleopatra and Dido were ordered to Tripoli to embark troops and transport them at high speed to Salerno, arriving on the afternoon of 16 September 1943. Italy having now dropped out of the war, Euryalus took Admiral Sir Andrew Cunningham, the Allied Naval Commander-in-Chief, to Taranto on 23 September 1943 for a meeting on board with the Italian Minister of Marine to settle the surrender of the Italian Fleet. Her longest period at sea was in July and August 1945, when the ship was patrolling in the Pacific looking for Japanese naval craft. She steamed 16,850 miles non-stop for 44 days - then an RN record (using the new technique of refuelling at sea) and when Oliver-Bellasis presumably acquired this lot. As one of the larger British ships located there, Euryalus liaised with any smaller British craft in the area. Although she did not encounter the enemy it seems likely the binoculars were captured and brought aboard by one of these. Oliver-Bellasis left the ship in November 1945 and, upon his return to the Admiralty, became Director of Underwater Weapons from 1947 until his retirement in 1950.

t. B., a walnut longcase clock the thirty-hour duration birdcage movement with flat steel pillars, striking the hour on a large bell with an outside countwheel, the eleven-inch square brass dial with a silvered chapter ring engraved with black Roman numerals, fleur-de-lys half-hour markings and signed ‘T.B.’ either side of VI o’clock, with brass female-head spandrels and a matted centre with engraved round decoration and a large single steel hand, the walnut case with a glass lenticle to the trunk door, a short base, shaped three-quarter columns to the hood and caddy top, with a label within the trunk giving some provenance, height 218cm. * The interior note suggests this clock as belonging to T Baldwin of Ashton-under-Lyme and having been there at least 120 years before the date of this label, which itself has some age. It makes the suggestion that T.B is the makers initials, although it is more likely these are those of the original owner who, in all probability, was the Thomas Baldwin mentioned.
