Which book is this from?

[scuda]

I was googling to find information for my research on north Devon mariners, and found this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/historypie_devel/class/files/6869/original/img016.pdf
Can anyone work out what book it comes from? I just can't find a way of getting more than these few pages to find out.

Thanks.

I can find references to the rescue of the Austrian barque, Pace, by the RNLI lifeboat, Hope. Joseph Cox mentioned in tbe snippet was given a medal for the rescue. There is a painting of the event by Mark Myers. I wonder if the RNLI have an archivist?

Thanks Shona. I have lots of newspaper articles and other information about this, I was just hoping to identify the source of this particular article.

Long shot, but try typing a tract of the text into your search engine.

I've tried every trick I can think of, including that one, without getting anywhere. I hoped someone here would know yet another trick!

I also tried searching Google web search and book search for a couple of excerpts from the article, but no luck.

Thanks for trying, Mary.

It looks as if it comes from something called the banner of faith.

If you put the words Appledore Men and 1888 into FMP, you come up with the text.

I think what you found was someone's photobucket-style storage that wasn't protected.

Great detective work, Phoenix.

This link takes you to an archive, which seems to indicate that the edition of the magazine the article appeared in can be downloaded.

EDIT: The download contains the pages at the start of the thread.

Have seen a couple of editions of the magazine on eBay - wrong year, though.

Well done, Phoenix, thanks. So the article is from a Victorian religious magazine - that fits with the general feel of the text.

That's an interesting site, Shona, I don't think I've come across it before.

A number of Devon mariners ended up in Grimsby after the distant water fleet was established.

I can well imagine that, Shona. The Grimsby connection probably won't be relevant to me, though, as I'm taking local headstones, etc, as my starting point, and researching the stories behind them.
