Claare ny Gael, 21st April 2024
We again dip into the 1965 collection of 'More Poems of Man', in which we finish off the poems written by Barbara Cowley of Peel and hear one written by her son, David Marno.
Professor Van Helsing has been saying that he himself, together with Dr John Seward and Jonathan Harker, will stay at Count Dracula's house in Picadilly whilst Lord Godalming and Quincey Morris go to search out and destroy the Count's lairs elsewhere in London. More from our translation into the Manx Gaelic of the famous book by Bram Stoker.

Claare ny Gael 14th April 2024
We're dipping into a booklet published in 1965 and called 'More Poems of Man', a collection of poems by Barbara Cowley of Peel, with other poems by her son and her sister. There must have been an earlier 'Poems of Man', but whilst that's not to hand, there are other poems which appear in the Peel City Guardian, so it's likely that they made up the earlier collection.
In our translation of Bram Stoker's Dracula into the Manx Gaelic, Jonathan Harker is getting agitated about wasting time, but Professor Van Helsing explains the difficulty about breaking into a house in Picadilly but suggests how they'd best handle it in a positive way.

Claare ny Gael 7th April 2024
We hear of Dorothy Wordsworth's final week in the Island before she leaves at 11.50pm on 19th July 1828 to sail back overnight to Whitehaven. She seems to have been fortunate with the weather during her walking tour, but these last few days bring quite a lot of rain. However, she does prevail upon Joanna Hutchinson to see a doctor.
An attendant in Dr John Seward's asylum thought he'd heard two voices in the room of the patient, Renfield, but when he'd gone into the room there was only Renfield, lying crumpled on the floor, dead. What could Dr Seward and his comrades possibly tell an inquest about the role of Count Dracula in Renfield's death? Another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's novel.

Dorothy Wordsworth returns from Ramsey to Douglas on a carrier's cart. En route she enters a clean but poor cottage in Laxey and is not impressed with the superficial sanctity of a fellow passenger, a young Methodist preacher. Back in Douglas she meets up with Henry Hutchinson and Willy Wordsworth again, and some friends, Mr and Mrs Putnam.
Mina Harker is describing the dreadful events when she suddenly finds standing at her bedside a tall, thin man clothed all in black who seems to have emerged from the thin white mist in her room. Another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's Dracula.

After spending the night in an attractive cottage at Ballure, Dorothy Wordsworth enjoys the pleasant setting once more before setting out with Henry Hutchinson and Willy Wordsworth for Maughold. There she leaves them to make their way back to Douglas whilst she returns to Ramsey.
Dr John Seward has explained all that happened to Jonathan Harker, whose wife, Mina, has become a victim of Count Dracula. We also hear of how Arthur Holmwood (Lord Godalming) and Quincey Morris got on in pursuit of the Count. Another episode from the translation into the Manx Gaelic of Bram Stoker's story, Dracula.
