Flaming Pooched Eggs

From Gazette editions of June, 1935:

The scene was a Vineyard street, a parked flivver at the curb. Upon the scene appeared two pedestrians, who observed that a fire was blazing merrily in the hood of the car. One promptly ran to summon aid while the other stood near. Appeared next another car, whose driver dismounted and promptly extinguished the fire in the parked machine.

From Gazette editions of May, 1960:

There is a persistent legend, which, if it cannot be proven, certainly never has been disproven — this is the Hammett legend. The Island family of Hammett, well known on the Island from about 1700 to 1900, has produced master mariners, soldiers, adventurers and merchants of every variety. Island Hammetts served in the Revolutionary War, sailed in whaleships, prospected for gold in California, served in the Civil War, and were known in the profession of book-publishers, writers and politics.

The King and Us

From Gazette editions of June, 1985:

The Queen Elizabeth 2, one of the largest cruise ships in the world, dropped anchor a mile off East Chop Tuesday. She carried 1,700 passengers and a crew of nearly 1,000. She came with four restaurants, seven bars, 1,350 telephones, 180 clocks, four swimming pools, seven shops (including Harrod’s), two discos, a casino, a computer learning center, a bank and a theatre with 525 seats.

From a 1991 Gazette article by Arthur Railton:

We can all quote William Shakespeare on the subject: What’s in a name? Forget how he answered the question. He was dead wrong. There’s a lot in a name. And the Vineyard provides proof, plenty of it. Years ago, many parents turned to the Bible when naming their children. But when Biblical names seemed inappropriate, parents often came up with something truly inspired.
