Hi KAVEBEAR! It looks like archive has vol. 1 and 2 edited and selected editions Penguin and Dover. Unfortunately doesn't look like these are what you need, look like you need volume 5 in the Cambridge edition, or volume III, part 2 for the Routledge one. fiveby(zero) 01:06, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If the pages you need fall within his narrative of Cook's death, there's the pamphlet and republished in The death of Captain Cook and other writings. fiveby(zero) 01:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SusunW: I can see following information:

"The author was born into the family of a big bourgeois merchant in Havana , Cuba on October 23 , 1928 . received her elementary and sec- ondary education in Catholic schools . In 1949 she graduated from Havana University with a Doctorate of Law and was awarded the national prize " Ricar- do Dolz y Arango " . In 1951 she joined the International Commission of the Women's International Democratic Federation which visited Korea to investigate the crimes and atrocities committed by US soldiers against the civilian population , women and children included, under cover of the UN flag . On her way back to Cuba , Candelaria was arrested in New York where she was made to board a plane and , on arrival in Havana , was escorted to the Military Intelligence Service and the Bureau of Investigation of Communist Activities from the stairway to the plane . She published a pamphlet entitled What I Saw in Korea and covered the whole island denouncing the crimes she had witnessed . She was repeated- ly thrown into prison for these activities . The Cuban people responded with anti- imperialist and internationalist solidarity to the denunciation and the Cuban government was compelled to refrain from sending troops to fight the frater- nal....."

Hope, this is useful. --Gazal world (talk) 22:53, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For the first {{cn}} in Belmont, Massachusetts. Probably page 64, 66 or 107 according to this index I found. Other sources that say that Belmont was annexed for its water supply would also be sufficient. Thanks, Aaron Liu (talk) 02:28, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

According to the Google Books preview, p. 64 says: "Battles over Water Quality: Contemporary records show that, in the 1870s, there was little scientific agreement about the causes of any pollution to the pond's water, or about the best means of protection. [...] The alleged culprits [...] always seemed to be across the town borders in Arlington and, especially Belmont. [...] A report commissioned in 1879 concluded that the city needed to acquire a strip of land around the Fresh Pond shoreline up to fifty rods (about 825 feet) wide, to remove buildings from around the shore, and to annex the parts of the neighboring towns of Belmont and Arlington that abutted the pond." p. 66 says: "After years of mutual invective, Cambridge finally go the upper hand. [...] Cambridge managed to persuade the legislature of its case for annexation. Some 570 acres of Belmont and 70 acres of Arlington were duly transferred to the city of Cambridge." I can request this book from my university's off-site library, but I think this should be enough to validate that claim, though I think it should be edited to clarify what it means by "for its water supply"?

I have seen The Times for that date through Gale/TWL access (not The Sunday Times) but there's nothing that satisfies your search criteria. The Sunday Times access there is only from 1985.

@Eddie891: Thank you; unfortunate about the index. Gricharduk, would you be able to provide information that might help find the coverage? BilledMammal (talk) 01:07, 16 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eddie891 and BilledMammal: That's a shame about the index. I believe the book breaks the history of club into five‑year sections. I think Leslie Hood should appear in the section from 1896–1900 (he played for the club until 1902) and probably features in the team photograph for those years. I think there are around twenty team photographs in the book so that might help locate the right section. There is also a separate section on the club's annual dinners, written by Mark Waters, where Hood may be mentioned (apparently, Hood was also involved in the club's administration). I did not know this service existed and I think it is fantastic that you have managed to locate a copy of the book. Thank you very much to both of you.
