22d

The 22d was a day to be particularly remembered, for the walls, though more broken at the water's edge, were now some thirty-five hundred feet high and seemed to be increasing by leaps and bounds, for at one place, through a side gorge on the right, we could discern cliffs so far above our heads that tall pine trees looked no larger than lead pencils. ❋ Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh (1894)

Being the only American representative in port, this tarry was imperative, for on the 22d was the Queen's diamond jubilee. ❋ Joshua Slocum (1877)

The 22d was the great day on Thursday Island, for then we had not only the jubilee, but a jubilee with a grand corroboree in it, Mr. Douglas having brought some four hundred native warriors and their wives and children across from the mainland to give the celebration the true native touch, for when they do a thing on Thursday Island they do it with a roar. ❋ Joshua Slocum (1877)

One only argument has sometimes struck us for supposing that the 22d might be the day, and not the 23d; which is, that Shakspeare's sole granddaughter, Lady Barnard, was married on the 22d of April, 1626, ten years exactly from the poet's death; and the reason for choosing this day _might_ have had a reference to her illustrious grandfather's birthday, which, there is good reason for thinking, would be celebrated as a festival in the family for generations. ❋ Thomas De Quincey (1822)

We also know that the White House cares more about the working "stiffs", as Obama referred to the middle class in his remarks in the White House Press room late on the 22d, but realizes that spending cuts not seen before in many years must be made. ❋ Miles J. Zaremski (2011)

I had my fill of the political pundits last evening the 22d, announcing as "Breaking News" House Leader Boehner walking out of talks with President Obama over raising the debt ceiling and cutting the federal deficit, and now taking his "ball" to those in the Senate -- maybe someone there will want to make nice with the House Leader, huh? ❋ Miles J. Zaremski (2011)

Everything else just walks along like a human shaped fish bowl, behind which you can see a billion stars turning on their clustered cities like an illuminated glassy field of 22d letters of the Greek alphabet. ❋ Darryl Price (2012)

Arriving on the 22d, she remained in the assault area for 7 days before returning, with casualties, to Pearl Harbor for a brief availability. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Glover, 22 – [29] October 1797*Sunday night, October 22d. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These trains amounted to hundreds of wagons and other vehicles, and knowing full well the dangers which would attend the difficult problem of getting them over to Petersburg, I decided to start them with as little delay as circumstances would permit, and the morning of the 22d sent Torbert's division ahead to secure Jones's bridge on the Chickahominy, so that the wagons could be crossed at that point. ❋ Unknown (2010)

I heard nothing at all from Torbert during the 22d, and supposing that everything was progressing favorably, I was astonished and chagrined on the morning of the 23d, at Woodstock, to receive the intelligence that he had fallen back to Front Royal and Buckton ford. ❋ Unknown (2010)

In the darkness of the night of the gist, Crook was brought across Cedar Creek and hidden in a clump of timber behind Hupp's Hill till daylight of the 22d, when, under cover of the intervening woods and ravines, he was marched beyond the right of the Sixth Corps and again concealed not far from the Back road. ❋ Unknown (2010)

On the 22d the Confederates moved to Charlestown and pushed well up to my position at Halltown. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Learning all this, and seeing that the investment was about completed, I decided to take up my quarters at Versailles, and started for that place on the 22d, halting at Noisy le Grand to take luncheon with some artillery officers, whose acquaintance we had made the day of the surrender at Sedan. ❋ Unknown (2010)

One poor fellow was eventually killed, and the survivors fed on him until the 20th, when another became deranged and he shared the same fate on the 22d. ❋ Unknown (2008)
