The Sign of Four: The Strange Story of Jonathan Small (Part One of Two)

I will split this in two parts as I've got a lot to cover here.

CW for discussions of nasty prison conditions.

The depth of the Thames is about 6.5 metres at low tide in Woolwich, near to the Plumstead Marshes as they were then. However, the river has strong currents and very little visibility, so it would be a risky operation even with 2024 diving technology for some rather small objects.

The rupee originally was a silver coin dating back to ancient times in India, becoming something of a standard currency during the Mughal period. The East India Company introduced paper rupees and while there was an attempt by the British to move their territory to the pound sterling, they soon gave up, minting their own rupees with the British monarch's head on. The currency was also non-decimal. India retained the currency post-independence and went decimal as well.

Mangrove trees are very common in equatorial coastline regions - they can remove salt from the water, which would kill many other trees.

Prisoners set to the Andaman Islands penal colony were forced to work nine to ten hours a day to construct the new settlement, while in chains. Cuts from poisonous plants and friction ulcers from the chains would often get infected, resulting in death.

The convict huts on Ross Island were two-storey affairs, with the bottom as a kitchen and took area, the prisoners sleeping on the upper floor. Designed this way as an anti-malaria measure, they however leaked and the prisoners themselves were constantly damp from the rainfall, offering them little protection from the mosquitoes in any event.

Ague is an obsolete term for malaria; adults experience chills and fever in cycles.

The British would conduct experiments with quinine as a malaria treatment by force-feeding it to the prisoners. This caused severe side effects.

The British would make use of locals as warders, who wore sashes and carried canes. I'd imagine they could probably be quite brutal.

Pershoe is a small town on the River Avon near Worcester. It has a railway station with an hourly service to London, taking just under two hours today.

"Chapel-going" in this context means that the people attended a non-conformist church i.e. not one part of the Church of England.

"Taking the Queen's/King's shilling" was a historical term for joining the armed forces - for the army this was officially voluntary, but sailors could be forcibly recruited, being known as "press-ganged" until 1815. You would be given the shilling upon initial enlistment or tricked into taking it via it being slipped into your opaque beer. You would return the shilling on your formal attestation and then receive a bounty which could be pretty substantial in terms of the average wage, although a good amount of that would then be spent on your uniform. Some enlisted, deserted and then reenlisted multiple times to get multiple payments. The practice officially stopped in 1879, but the slang term remains.

The 3rd Buffs refers to the latter 3rd Battalion, Buffs (East Kent Regiment), a militia battalion that existed from 1760 to 1953, although it effectively was finished in 1919. However, in reality, they did not go to India to deal with the rebellion, instead staying in Great Britain to cover for the regular regiments who did.

The British never formally adopted the Prussian "goose step" instead going for the similar, but less high-kicking, slow march.

The musket would possibly have been the muzzle-loaded Enfield P53, a mass-produced weapon developed at the Royal Small Arms Factory in Enfield. It was itself was the trigger of the Indian Rebellion in 1857 due to the grease used in the cartridges. They would also be heavily used in the American Civil War on both sides, especially the Confederate one as they smuggled a lot of them, with only the Springfield Model 1861 being more widely used. As a result, they are highly sought after by re-enactors. The British used them until 1867, when they switched to the breech-loading Snider-Enfield, many of the P53s being converted.

The crocodile would likely have been a gharial, which mainly eat fish. Hunting and loss of habitat has reduced their numbers massively, with the species considered "Critically Endangered" by the IUCN.

"Coolie" is a term today considered offensive that was used to describe low-wage Indian or Chinese labourers who were sent around the world, basically to replace emancipated slaves. Indentured labourers, basically - something the US banned (except as a riminal punishment) along with slavery in 1865. In theory they were volunteers on a contract with rights and wages, however abuses were rife. Indentured labour would finally be banned in British colonies in 1917.

Indigo is a natural dark blue dye extracted from plants of the Indigofera genus; India produced a lot of it. Today, the dye (which makes blue jeans blue) is mostly produced synthetically.

I have covered the "Indian Mutiny" as the British called it here in my post on "The Crooked Man".

The Agra Fort dates back to 1530 and at 94 acres, it was pretty huge by any standards. Today, much of it is open to tourists (foreigners pay 650 rupees, Indians 50), although there are parts that remain in use by the Indian Army and are not for public access.

"Rajah" meaning king, referred to the many local Hindu monarchs in the Indian subcontinent; there were also Maharajahs or "great kings", who the British promoted loyal rajahs to the rank of. The Muslim equivalent was Nawab. However, a variety of other terms existed. The East India Company and the Raj that succeeded them used these local rulers to rule about a half their territory and a third of the population indirectly, albeit under quite a bit of influence from colonial officials. These rulers were vassals to the British monarch; they would collect taxes and enforce justice locally, although many of the states were pretty small (a handful of towns in some cases) and so they contracted this out to the British. As long as they remained loyal, they could get away with nearly anything.

562 of these rulers were present at the time of Indian independence in 1947. Effectively abandoned by the British (Louis Mountbatten, the last Viceroy, sending out contradictory messages), nearly all of them were persuaded to accede to the new India, where the nationalists were not keen on them, with promises they could keep their autonomy if they joined, but if not, India would not help them with any rebellions. Hyderabad, the wealthiest of the states, resisted and was annexed by force. The ruler of Jammu and Kashmir joined India in exchange for support against invading Pakistani forces, resulting in a war. A ceasefire agreement was reached at the beginning of 1949, with India controlling about two-thirds of the territory; the ceasefire line, with minor adjustments after two further wars in 1965 and 1971, would become known as the Line of Control, a dotted line on the map that is the de facto border and one of the tensest disputed frontiers on the planet.

India and Pakistan initially allowed the princely rulers to retain their autonomy, but this ended in 1956. In 1971 and 1972 respectively, their remaining powers and government funding were abolished.

Many of the former rulers ended up in a much humbler position, others retained strong local influence and a lot of wealth. The Nizam of Hyderbad, Mir Osman Ali Khan was allowed to keep his personal wealth and title after the annexation in 1948 - he had been the richest man in the world during his rule and used a 184-carat diamond as a paperweight, at least until he realised its actual value. The current "pretender", Azhmet Jah, has worked as a cameraman and filmmaker in Hollywood, including with Steven Spielberg.

Revisit: Greco Bactrian Empire

My second ever post on the account was about the Greco-Bactrian empire (scroll to read it)

But the reason I'm bringing it up again after two months is because I visited a museum recently with featured an exhibit on coins in ancient India

and look what came along

As you can see, they're kind of similar to coins of the Mughal era, the square ones Eucratides I and Hippostraus I which is an interesting parallel. I'm certainly considering writing about the Scythians and Parthians as well since I kinda skipped over them.

Anyways yes, I have a few more pictures from a few other exhibits from the museum (which I could discuss )

[sampigehoovu]

spent the afternoon amused by french east india company having trouble with the church and their headquarters in france cause they had to mint gold coins to be able to trade in south india, but gold pagodas had to be minted with the image of Vishnu. in other parts of the country, coins were issued in the name of the mughal emperor. they had problems with the crescent moon on the other side too. so many letters went back and forth, and there was a monetary crisis in the meantime that nothing got done.

1, 12, 16, 25! For the history thing :D

Who is your favourite historical person?

Gosh, that's difficult! It's hard to say, I don't really study the histories and biographies of individual people so much as I study large historical movements...

I get a kick out of Hong Xiuquan, I think. I love that this guy fails the civil service examinations four times, has a mental breakdown, and then comes out of it completely self-assured that he's the younger brother of Jesus and manages to create such a strong powerful movement behind him! The Heavenly Taiping Kingdom that he created sounds like a godawful place to actually live, as is the case with most religious cults, but some of the stuff he was preaching during the Taiping Rebellion really laid the foundation for Chinese peasants to be thinking about what equality and democracy might look like, outside of what the elites were devising up. It's an intriguing movement! I wouldn't say I like him, by any means, but he's certainly intriguing!

I also think that although she's one of our contemporaries, since my main focus is in the histories of the past fifty or so years, Haunani Kay-Trask is one of the coolest people out there and her work is inspirational and wonderful. May she rest in power <3

12. Would you take part in reenactment? In what era and as whom?

I haven't done much historical re-enactment, a lot of the western stuff just isn't for me (I have so little interest in western history), and roleplaying historical times always seems like it's soaked in a lot of assumptions of how people thought back then which aren't often very accurate and would make me a little squeamish, personally. But if it's just cosplaying in cool clothes, I LOVE the fashion of the Mughal period in India, there's some really awesome clothing from there. The clothing of Samarkhand too, during the Silk Road, from what survives in sculptures and shit, looks SUMPTUOUS. I want to wear that shit!

16. Do you own some historical item (e.g. coin, clothing, weapons, books, etc.) If yes, which one is your favourite?

I do not, I am so poor!!! I recieved a book from the Tamagusuku school of Ryukyuuan Dance, which stems back from the 70s though, and it is one of my most treasured possessions. Soon, I will actually be able to translate what it says about principles and theories of dance and try and compare it to what I know from Kathak.

25. Who is the most overrated historical figure, in your opinion?

Oh god, I could go ON about this! I don't care about Shelley. Or Hemingway. Or many pretentious male authors in the english literary tradition. While they have come to stand in as representatives of their oeuvres, they are one amongst many in a vast literary movement! I especially don't care for Allen Ginsburg and shit. Anyway. I understand why picking some of the more prolific authors and using their work to discuss an entire literary period is necessary, I just don't care for them being the sole representative of those literary movements.
