The Dreadnought Hoax
Updated November 4, 1998
Created June 30, 1997
One of the lighter moments of Virginia Woolf's life is when she took part in a very public practical joke cooked up by her brother Adrian Stephen and his friend and classmate Horace Cole. On February 10, 1910, the three of them, along with three other friends, dressed up as a group of foreign diplomats from Abyssinia and British Foreign Office officials. The six disguised friends requested to be taken on a tour of the H.M.S. Dreadnought, the most important warship in England at the time. The captain and crew of the ship were fooled, and they showed Woolf and company the secret areas of the ship. The group even imitated the foreign language! Horace could not let the joke end there. He alerted the press about what they had done, and this photograph was printed in The Daily Mirror.

Alexandra Harris, too, ends her book with an account of Woolf’s rise to pre-eminence as the contested subject of academic literary research: “Politicised, feminised, romanticised, sexualised, castigated, vindicated – the posthumous Virginia Woolf was the figurehead of opposing causes.”
These comments reinforce my impression that academic literary biographers have so many competing academics looking over their shoulders that they diminish the value of their biographies by acknowledging their short shelf life. So let me declare that I am still happy with the first biography of Virginia Woolf, by her nephew Quentin Bell: two slim volumes, written at the urging of Leonard Woolf, published in the early seventies. A talented artist and a fine literary stylist – the author of books on Ruskin and Bloomsbury – Bell declared at the outset that he would steer clear of literary criticism.
His trump card was that he grew up close to Virginia, a member of her and his mother Vanessa’s extended family and of the Bloomsbury group that was their milieu. He was blessed also with a fine sense of the comic – similar, it seems, to his aunt’s. Nothing else can account for Virginia’s taking part (at the age of twenty-eight, before her marriage) in the Dreadnought Hoax, devised by Horace Cole, a friend of her brother Adrian.
Quentin’s account of the hoax, in chapter “1910–June 1912” begins:
On the morning of 10 February 1910, Virginia, with five companions, drove to Paddington Station and took a train to Weymouth. She wore a turban, a fine gold chain hanging to her waist and an embroidered caftan. Her face was black. She sported a very handsome moustache and beard. Of the other members of the party three – Duncan Grant, Anthony Buxton and Guy Ridley – were disguised in much the same way.
Buxton was impersonating the Emperor of Abyssinia; Woolf, Grant and Ridley, members of his court. Adrian played a bearded British interpreter; Cole, a Foreign Office official.
When the train arrived at Weymouth, a flag lieutenant advanced to their carriage door and saluted the Emperor with becoming gravity… There was a barrier to restrain the crowd and the Imperial party proceeded with dignity to where a little steam launch lay in readiness to carry it out to the fleet anchored in the Bay. On H.M.S. Dreadnought… they inspected the Guard of Honour. The Admiral turned to Adrian and asked him to explain the significance of certain uniforms to the Emperor.
“Entaqui, mahai, kustufani,” said Adrian, and then discovered that his stock of Swahili, if it was Swahili, was exhausted. He sought inspiration. It came, and he continued:
“Tahli bussor ahbat tahl aesque miss. Erraema, fleet use….”*
Bell helpfully decodes Adrian’s mangled Latin in a footnote: “‘Talibus orabat talisque miserrima fletus.’ Aeneid iv, 437.”
“Prince Sanganya” (above, left) is Virginia Woolf (Virginia Stephen, as she then was). Next to her (left to right) are Duncan Grant, Adrian Stephen (Virginia’s brother), as the translator, Anthony Buxton, Guy Ridley and Horace de Vere Cole, as a Foreign Office attaché.
Having carried off the hoax, and feeling the joke had gone far enough, the fake Abyssinians agreed on secrecy. All except Cole, who alerted the press (and seems to have supplied them with posed photographs of the group), whereupon it became a public scandal. The family was outraged; questions were asked in parliament; and naval officers, their honour impugned, subjected one of the hoaxers (Duncan Grant) to a ritual flogging on Hampstead Heath. Virginia “had entered the Abyssinian adventure for the fun of the thing,” writes Bell, “but she came out of it with a new sense of the brutality and silliness of men.”

Glad I caught you.
I feel like we got off
on the wrong foot last week.
Said some things we
didn't mean, you know.
Let's forget about it, huh?
Sorry.
All right.
All right...
...you're sorry too, or...?
I said all right. Okay?
- How's that?
- How's what?
You feel that?
Feel what?
You know, your face
is turning a little red, Ray.
So, you know, what it might be
is those gym shorts might be
a little tight for you.

I even dreamed about that a couple nights ago. When I was watching the "Phoebe Runs" episode I remembered a dream a day or two earlier where I was jogging. I sometimes have sports-related dreams but this one was very specific and I have not had a sports-related dream in recent memory and in that dream I was very aware, to the point of feeling self-conscious, about the form of my body as I was running but in my case, the form of my body that I was feeling self-conscious about was simply about how slow I was moving because I was trying to establish a pace where I could continue a rate of speed that I consider jogging. I remember that dream because when I used to be able to go out and exercise my goals were more about covering a certain distance in a certain time and so that meant I was not concerned about how much of that distance I covered while actually jogging or actually walking. I wanted to jog as much as possible but I would reach a point where my exertion rate forced me to stop running and continue at a walking pace. I never gave any conscious thought about the fact that something is physically wrong with my body that was causing me to not be able to continue the pace my body naturally wanted to establish; that there was a weak link to my efforts. I can cover a tremendous amount of distance because of the endurance capability of my physical frame and which I used to describe as how I had a high anaerobic tolerance and I thought a lot about my aerobic weakness. I still managed to finish an Ironman triathlon within the time required for the course. I just wish I could train again so that I could jog for a great distance without stopping. I never did give that a lot of thought when I was training for those triathlons.

Zika Virus Crisis Spreads
In 1947, disease hunters from the Rockefeller Foundation were in Uganda, studying yellow fever using rhesus macaque monkeys. The animals were placed in cages that were perched in trees in the Zika Forest (meaning "overgrown" in the Luganda language). On April 18, 1947, one of the Asian Rhesus monkeys took ill with a previously unknown virus, which the researchers dubbed Zika. In a lab in Entebbe, the Rockefeller scientists injected the new virus into mice, which then developed the feverish illness, thereby proving the virus they had discovered was the cause of the disease. The first human case of Zika fever was identified in Nigeria in 1954.

Student Encyclopedia
Mrs. Ples is the nickname for a fossil skull that was discovered in the Sterkfontein Caves in South Africa. The caves are part of an area known as the Cradle of Humankind. The discovery helped support the belief, now generally held, that human ancestors originally came from Africa.
Two scientists, Robert Broom and John Robinson, discovered the fossil skull on April 18, 1947.
