We hear about a tragedy at the mouth of Douglas Harbour when three men on board a smack, 'Hero', were drowned on 13th September 1873. The event also caused the resignation of the coxswain of Douglas lifeboat, William Curphey, who had been critical of the position of the lifeboat house, on the Harris Promenade below St Thomas's Church. He was proved right when the lifeboat was unable to launch to help the 'Hero', though right at the harbour mouth. Our story in Manx, 'Cre Cho Doo as ta'n Speyr', is about a grandfather and his grandson in a world and time where people are cut off from nature - a translation of a story by an American, K J Kabza.
