It is the work of Professor Douglas Hall and was first published in 1989 by The University of the West Indies Press.), Page 74. Sunday, 7th November: About 4 in the morning set off in Mr Mordiner's canoe to go a shooting to the seaside with him. Stephen Vidal steered us. Thomas Thistlewood's diaries ran to about 10,000 pages. Prof Douglas Hall has used them to create a remarkably vivid account of the lives of whites, coloureds and slaves in the plantations of Jamaica at a time when the island's sugar production was at its height and when the sugar "plantocracy” ruled supreme.

The indications, from her Father's Will, are that Elizabeth was the first child that Sarah bore him, so in all probability she was born some time around 1794. She may not have been baptised at all but there is an entry in the St Mary's Parish Register for a person of her name (there were no other Elizabeth Jackson Vidals mentioned) but she would have been about 20 years of age when she was baptised and the Register's note "a person of colour" seems to confirm a mature baptism.

"On a Sunday night, at 8 PM, a heavy SW gale force 11 raged until midnight, when it swung to the south, forcing the Ocean Queen down onto the Little Mewstone, where she quickly broke up, drowning all aboard. Eleven bodies were washed up next morning and for the following day."

273 Woolmer's Exeter & Plymouth Gazette (Published at Plymouth), Jan 1, 1853 — P 4 Col. A — PLYMOUTH — "Tremendous Gale -Great Loss of Life". "..............During the same morning another ship supposed to be the "Ocean Queen", was lost Eastward of this port. It is supposed that the master was endeavouring to make the port of Plymouth from the Eastward, and having caught sight of the Breakwater light inside the range of the Great Mewstone, he erroneously considered himself in the fair way for the harbour, and did not discover his error until the ship became entangled on the dangerous reefs connected with the Great and Little Mewstones, or the Slimer's rocks inside. In either case the ship would be immediately dashed to pieces, and all her ill-fated crew would perish.

A portion of her wreck was washed ashore in Oker Bay, or Wembury Church Bay, which is West of the river Yealm. It consisted of a stern frame, with a part of the truck; the famtis[sic] painted black, and has on it in large white letters "Ocean Queen, of London." ..............."14 bodies were washed ashore on Wednesday morning; two it was supposed, were passengers; nine looked like seaman, two were mulattoes, and one a black man. An inquest has been held on the bodies of the unfortunate men, and the jury have returned a verdict of ' accidental death '.

274 The Times (London), January 1, 1853 — Page 3 Col. D. WRECK OF THE OCEAN QUEEN. — PLYMOUTH, Thursday. — Messrs. Collier Brothers, of this port, the agents for Lloyd's, have, since Tuesday morning, been actively engaged at Wembury Bay in securing portions of the wreck and cargo of the brig Ocean Queen on behalf of her owner, Mr. Shepheard, of London. Under cover of a self-made law, by which they rule that, when no living thing survives in a ship, her contents belong to whoever can grasp them, the parishioners of Wembury have stolen and secreted in their cottages a stock of linen, dresses, candles, &c., sufficient to supply all their reasonable wants for the next half-century. One shoemaker is said to have stocked himself in leather equal to his ordinary requirements for a very long period; and the distribution of saddles, boots, and caps has extended some distance into the country. Such undisguised to pilfering and open robbery deserves a severe check from the proper authorities. Among the articles found there is a leather traveller's bag, marked "G. P. Vidal, London." Affixed to the body of a seaman there is a belt, having a knife attached, both marked "W. Gray." On the little finger of one of the passengers was found a ring, bearing inside the following inscription:-"From E. Patterson to H. Patterson, as a token of friendship, 1834." On the breast of one of the seaman, tattooed with gunpowder, was the picture of a large full-rigged ship; on the left arm of the body of a very fine young man, supposed to be the master, was the form of a heart, attached to the upper part of a wreath of laurel, inside of which were the following initials:- "W. H.," "G. H.," "W. H.," "E. M.," "E. H.," "H. A. H., H. K., J. L. H.," "T. H.," and "E. H." The father of the master is on the road from Fowey to Wembury to identify the body of his son. Comment:
Though George Vidal's initials were G.B.V. the fact that the leather traveller's bag is reported to have borne the mark "G. P. Vidal" may simply have been a mishearing of the "B" or it may have been that the lower part of the "B" was damaged making it looked like a "P". Whatever the case, the fact that the traveller's bag was found with the name Vidal upon it is pretty conclusive evidence that George was a passenger on the Ocean Queen.

"He also had a fine tenor voice and was much in demand to sing after dinner, which was the fashionable after-dinner pastime in those days. At one time he thought of becoming an opera singer and went to Paris for training, but at the end of about 18 months his singing master told him that though he could make the grade, his throat would never stand the strain. In those days he was told there was a tendency to gout in his throat, though I don't know if doctors of today would think such a thing possible."

"While my Grandfather was in Paris for voice-training he went to see his only sister, Lily, who was at a Finishing School there, and as he was talking to Lily in the hall, a girl looked over the bannisters down at them. This was Lily's great friend, Lucy Cunliffe,. Apparently Grandfather decided there and then that he would marry her one day, and he did, though not without a good deal of opposition from Lucy's guardians (her parents had died) who did not consider Furse Vidal at all a good match financially for Sir Robert Cunliffe's daughter."

531 Ibid, July 23, 1971 - Part 2, Page 1. A school says goodbye

DURING her 24 years as headmistress of Sleaford Girls' High School, not many things escaped the attention of Miss Helen Vidal. But on Friday, her last day, the whole school -- 430 girls -- had the last laugh, or perhaps it should be the last tear.

The highlight of an understandably emotional final assembly arrived when six girls in possession bore forward a patchwork bedspread, to which every girl in a school had contributed at least one colourful patch of cloth.

Miss Vidal's deputy, Miss E. A. V. Hull explained: "To mark Miss Vidal's retirement and to thank her for all she has done, the school gave her a cut glass water jug and tumblers. But the patchwork bedspread was a more individual and personal present. We also made a book which contains the signature of every girl, so that she will have a record of those who are represented by the patches on the bedspread."

All of this work went on under Miss Vidal's nose -- and she never suspected a thing.

"It was kept absolutely secret," said Miss Hull. "It sometimes meant working out of sight on the floor of the needle room, and sometimes setting up a system of warning that she was in the vicinity."

To mark the occasion, our staff photographer [Sleaford Standard staff] Gordon Brotherton -- with Miss Hull's help -- staged managed this picture [large photograph of all the girls with Helen in the foreground holding the patchwork bedspread] of the whole school with Miss Vidal and the patchwork gift on the school's tennis courts.

Miss Vidal told him: "I thought something was afoot when I saw you here today." But that was the only to she had.
