ADAIR’S 2 0 -2 4 N . D e tro it S tr e e t Xenia, Ohio Island o f S a rk f Is Feudal State Once Haunt of Piratea, Now a Peaceful Place With Ancient Customs. (Prepared by National Geographic Society* Washington, D. C.)—AVNU Service. W HEN the Dame of Sark re­ cently went shopping In Lou­ don,' the event was news In a t least two continents; for La Dame De Sark is the first lady of the only purely feudal state remaining In the world, the Island of Sark in the English channel. Sark Is the fourth largest of the Channel. Islands. It lies 70 miles south of England and 22 miles from the coast of France. It Is three and a half miles long and one and a half miles wide; and yet, because of Its numerous bays and coves, it has 35 miles of coast.’ It Is the highest land in the Channel islands. The cliffs, rising on all sides almost perpendicularly, are covered with in­ numerable varieties of rock plants and flowers, while below are sandy bays and wonderful caves, whose sea-hewn walls are covered with seaweeds and sea anemones of every color of the rainbow. On the beaches may be found semiprecious stones, such as ame­ thysts, cats-eyes, and moonstones. The island Is not without minerals; at ope time mines were worked which pro­ duced copper, silver, antimony, and galena. The interior of the island is undu­ lating, with valleys full of wild flow­ ers, and in the spring the whole is •covered with a blaze of golden gorse, blue bells, and primroses. No veno­ mous beasts live In Sark, not even a toad! On landing at the Sark harbor, which is one of the smallest In • the world, the visitor finds himself en­ tirely surrounded by steep cliffs, and the only means of access to the island from there is by a road passing through n tunnel 200 feeHftBgf pJ§pced in the cliilV and thence by ,a steep, j winding road which leads to the cen­ ter of the island, where there are a few small shops and four hotels. Tlie highway continues to La Cou­ pee, where the island is divided Into two parts, Great Sark and Little Sark, joined by a huge natural causeway of rock nearly 300 feet high and 415 feet long, across which runs a road just wide enough for one enrt and horse T ■ A Sark Windmill Built by "the Grace” of Queen Elizabeth in 1571'. to cross at .a time. On one side of this causeway is a sheer cliff; on the other a sloping way down to beautiful sands. In spite of Its minute size, Sark has auhistory of no little inter­ est, as Its written records .begin in A. D. 565, and there is ample evidence of occupation in the Stone age. In the Sixth century Saint Maglolre, bishop of Dol, In Brittany, established a monastery here, the ruins of which, including an old wall and two chapels, stand just beside the Dame’s house. Here an order of 02 monks flourished until 1412, when they Were withdrawn to the Abbey of Montebonrg, In France, Ones Pirate Haunt. Tears rolled on and Sark became the haunt of pirates, said to be from Scotland, who were a constant menace to shipping In the channel and against whom expeditions from England were sent out. The Island was cleared of their presence, but ruin was left in their wake. It was occupied by the French some time early in the Six­ teenth century, and it was wrested from them by a ruse, the details of which were recorded by Sir Walter Raleigh him&elf, who was governor of Jersey some fifty years later, as follows: A Flemish vessel arrived off the coast, and the sailors pretended that their captain was dead and asked leave to bring his body ashore for burial. On permission being granted, they carried the coffin up the hill to the little church of Saint Maglolre, and there, closing the door, they opened the coftin, which was full of arms,, turned on the French garrison and surprised them, killing some and tak­ ing the .rest prisoners. Soon after this the Island was again deserted, until from the Islnnd of Jer­ sey arose a man who was finally to establish the future constitution of Sark. This was Sir Heller de Car­ teret, the fifty-eighth seigneur of Salnt- Ouen, In Jersey, to whom, in 1505, Queen Elizabeth granted the Island conditionally by letters patent under the great 'seal of England. This royal grant gave to Sir Heller ,and Ida successor* almost unlimited powers on condition that he colonize the Islaudjvltb forty fumllie -o each of whom he allotted a portion of, the land to farm. Euck man was equipped with a musket for Die defense of the Island; so that; to thin day It is often spoken of as "the island of the forty,” and even now, when a farm changes hands, it is still cited as one of the conditions of the deed of conveyance that a man with a musket shall be kept on the farm. Though the De Carteret family still ownB the Manor of Saint-Ouen, In Jer­ sey, Sark passed out of Its bands when, in 1732, It was sold, with all Its rights and privileges, and eventually came to the great-grandmother of the present Dame of Sark, In 1852. For many years an artillery militia was maintained, consisting of about one hundred men; now all that remains are a few old cannon, lying disused and half hidden in bracken and gorse - on the cliffs, while In the grounds of the Dame's house is a fine old bronze cannon which was presented to the first Seigneur of Sark in 1572 by Queen Elizabeth, and bears an Inscrip­ tion to that effect The Dame's house, or “Selgneurle," Hea. In a sheltered part ,of the Island and, like all the old houses, is built of gray granite; The original or main part of the house, dating from 1565, stands on the site of the old monas­ tery, and no doubt many of the stones used to build it were taken from the ruins. The fireplace in the ball bears the date 1075 and' the sundial on the outside 1685. The gardens are opened to the general public, free of any .charge, every Monday. Appeal to the Dame. Great privileges are always accom­ panied- by grave responsibilities; so that the Dame’s home may be de­ scribed as the clearing house of all Island controversy. It is open at any time to any Inhabitant of the Island who wishes to see her for any reuson, and she sometimes longs for the leis­ ure of the "tired business man" when often both aides of a difficulty are brought to her for final judgment. Dis­ cussions take place on subjects"which range from whether bathers shall wear beach pajamas or whether the Chief Pleas shall pass a measure to deal with the prevention of infectious dis­ eases among cattle. The Sark parliament la called the Chief Pleas, and it sits three times a year unless called by the Dame in an emergency. The forty holders of the farms allotted originally in 1565, plus twelve deputies elected among the rest of the Inhabitants, who now number 675, are .members of the parliament. To "Sarkftes” the king of England is their feudal lord, the duke of Nor­ mandy, and he has no more loyal and devoted subjects than they, who have from time immemorial been part of the Duchy of Normandy, whose duke, William the Conqueror,, invaded and took England and was thereafter rec­ ognized as king of England, but to them has always remained duke of Normandy. In point,of fact, the Channel islands were never part of Englaftd, but part and parcel of the Ducby of Normandy, ’ and as such, no doubt, took part la the conquest of England. Sark is the , smallest self-governing part of the British empire and the only part which has no public debt; In fact, it has a substantial credit balance. > The language of the Island officially Is French, though everyone speaks English, which Is taught equally with French In the schools, so that every­ one Is bilingual. Among themselves the (slahders always speak their own “patois," which Is a survival of the old Norman French as spoken at the time Of the Conquest It is never written and cannot be understood by anyone not brought up In Its midst. Sark has a boys’ and a girls’ school, In regard to which it Is interesting to note that Sark was the first part of the British empire to adopt compul­ sory education. The Dame Inspects both schools at examination time and) asks the children questions In French and English and satisfies herself as to their general mental progress. Motor Cars Barred. A law against the importation of motor cars has been passed and this Is strictly enforced. The Dame be­ lieves there should be one spot left on earth where modern transportation can he forgotten and where pence and quiet are undisturbed. She also re­ fuses to allow the Importation of any female dog, the ownership of such, except by the Seigneur, being forbid­ den under an old custom upheld by law for centuries. It Is also the old right of the Seigneur alone to keep pigeons—an excellent law, as in this way their number is controlled and damage to crops Is minimized. The large stone pigeon cote Is an essential part of any feudal selgneurle. It is also a selgneurial privilege that none but he may grind corn or build a mill, and although the old windmill Is now no longer used, he still grinds all corn brought to the selgneutle, by the more modern meth­ ods of motor and machine, charging each farmer a small fee for grinding. All cereals grown In Sark are sub­ ject to selgneurial tithes, and no than may harvest his crops until these tithes, called "dimes,” have been col­ lected, The farmer has to notify the Seigneur 48 hours before he intends carting, so that some one may be sent to the fields to see that every tenth I sheaf Is set aside for the seigneur, who also has a tithe of cider, lambs, wools, and a royalty on all minerals. Each of the forty pays a yearly tithe or ground rent on his property, and the old chimney tax, of poulage, as it Is called, Is still lh force, paid In live chickens every year to the seigneur.
