Captain Cook's Country
HEARD both Mrs. Marsh’s Saturday morning talks from 2YA, but was conscious throughout that I did not feel the same passionate interest in the subject as she did. This was perhaps natural since Captain Cook’s Home Country is also Mrs. Marsh’s. A New Zealander, on the other hand, can’t help feeling that the country James Cook ran away from at a comparatively early age is less interesting than the countries he ran away to discover. But if the content of Mrs. Marsh’s first talk seemed scarcely to measure up to the extreme brightness of her manner, the promises of treats to come with which she concluded it were made good in the second talk. And this time, I think, she did convey something of the historic and geographic excitement of that part of Yorkshire, the coastline which boasts England’s only volcano, and whose alum mine earned a Pope’s curse, the land through which Henry VIII. rode to visit Catherine Parr.
