On this day
In 1824 Sir Charles MacCarthy, a British Army officer appointed as the military governor to west African territories, died aged 59. He was killed by Ashanti forces (a slave-trading empire in what is now Ghana) in the battle of Nsamankow and his skull used as a gold-rimmed drinking cup. A campaigner for the abolition of the slave trade in west Africa, he helped to establish settlements and schools for slaves that had been liberated from their captors; in 1919 the Dail Eireann (Irish parliament) met for the first time, and independence from Great Britain was declared; in 1966 British cars in the Monte Carlo rally were disqualified on a headlight technicality. Four British cars crossed the finish line first, yet Citroën was declared the winner, with similar headlamps. A British Pathé news report took a dim view: “We Was Robbed!”; in 2017 more than 470,000 people attended the Women’s March event in Washington DC in response to President Trump’s inauguration the previous day. Demonstrations were held throughout the world.
Nature notes
Piddocks, also known as angelwings, are bivalves: two-shelled marine molluscs strong enough to tunnel holes into rock. Not rocks as hard as flint, admittedly, but sandstone, chalk, limestone and clay — and this is why many beaches are strewn with holey stones. These are commonly termed “hagstones” and ascribed lucky or magical properties, but true hagstones are naturally formed holey flints, which are far rarer. Piddocks enter crevices in rock as tiny larvae and slowly enlarge their burrows by rotating within them as they grow, using the rock as protection for their fragile shells and extending their siphon from it to feed. They are rarely found around the coasts of Scotland, northern Ireland or north Wales. Melissa Harrison
