Herald), together with copies of service papers and ships rolls. H.M.S. Herald. Joseph Randall, was born in Wexford, Ireland in the early 1820’s and served on H.M.S. Herald on the Arctic Station, during the Franklin Search Expedition 1848-1854. The Herald (under Captain Kellett) and HMS Plover (Captain Moore) both took part in the search for Franklin in 1848 in the Bering Strait. “The ships wintered in 1848-49 in Anadyr Bay and in the following years carried out vain attempts to force the ice Eastwards along the coast of Alaska but were compelled to winter in 1849-50 at Kotzebue Sound and 1850-51 in Teller, although they failed in their primary objective, did explore unknown waters in the vicinity and discovered two islands, which became their keepsakes, 200 miles North West of Cape LisburneÕ. H.M.S. Vengeance. The modified formidable class, 2nd rate, 84-gun ship was commisioned at Pembroke Dock on the 27th of July 1824. Under the Command of Captain Lord Edward Russell, she assisted in the opening bombardment of the forts at Sebastopol on the 17th of October 1854, in company with H.M.S. Britanmnia, Trafalgar, Queen Rodney and Bellerophon. According to Naval Medical Records dated 25th September 1852. “Joseph Randall, aged 31 years, Boatswain, put on list 25th September 1852 at Vourla Bay, and returned to his duty, 10th October, was sitting in the 1st pinnace whilst the gun was being lowered into it a quoin (weight 4lbs) fell 40 feet, & struck him on the right side of his head just above his ear, he was stunned for a moment. On examination no laceration of soft parts could be detected, there is a swelling over parietal bone & bleeding from the ear. He vomited and is somewhat duller than usual, but perfectly rational, put to bed, to be quietÕ.
A rare CT Maling "Cetem Ware" Presentation Plate; hand painted with a view of St Nicholas Cathedral, Newcastle, indistinctly signed "H. ?", the reverse inscribed "Walter Lee Lord Mayor 1920" 9 3/4ins (23.5cms) wide. NB Walter Lee was Lord Mayor of Newcastle 1919-1920. It was Maling`s practise to offer a plate to visiting dignitaries (or family members) to inscribed with their name. The plate would then be fired and usually printed with a design. A hand painted view like this is very rare. Although Harry Clifford Toft was the designer at the time, he signed work "C Toft" and the initials on this plate appear to be "H", followed by an somewhat smudged letter, suggesting that this piece, whilst decorated at the pottery, is the work of an unidentified painter. Laura Arkinstall is another possibility ( the head painter at the time-who had the necessary free hand skills) and whilst the first letter could be read as "L" "LA" looks unlikely.
