The Elsdon Murder

(The following story, which in the main is true, shows generally the duties of a Boy Scout.)

A brutal murder took place many years ago in the North of England. The murderer was caught and hanged chiefly through the scoutcraft of a shepherd boy.

Woodcraft – The boy, Robert Hindmarsh, had been up on the moors tending his sheep, and was finding his way home over a wild out-of-the-way part of the hills, when he passed a tramp sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out in front of him eating some food.

observing the murderer’s boots

Observation – The boy in passing noticed the tramp’s appearance, and especially the peculiar nails in the soles of his boots.

Concealment – He did not stop and stare, but just took in these details at a glance as he went by without attracting much attention from the man, who merely regarded him as an ordinary boy.

Deduction – When the boy got near home, some five or six miles away, he came to a crowd round a cottage. The old woman (Margaret Crozier) who inhabited it had been found murdered. All sorts of guesses were made about who had done the deed, and suspicion seemed to centre on a small gang of three or four tramps who were going about the country robbing and threatening death to anyone who made any report of their misdeeds.

The boy heard all these things. Then he noticed some peculiar footprints in the little garden of the cottage. The nail-marks agreed with those he had seen in the boots of the man on the moor, and he naturally deduced that the man might have something to do with the murder.

Chivalry – The fact that it was a helpless old woman who had been murdered made the boy’s chivalrous feeling rise against the murderer, whoever he might be.

Pluck and Self-discipline – So, although he knew that the friends of the murderer might kill him for giving information, he cast his fears aside. He went at once to the constable and told him of the footmarks in the garden, and where he could find the man who had made them—if he went immediately.

Health and Strength – The man up on the moor had got so far from the scene of the murder, unseen, except by the boy, that he thought himself safe, and never thought of the boy being able to walk all the way to the scene of the murder and then to come back, as he did, with the police.

But the boy was a strong, healthy hill-boy, and did the journey rapidly and well, so that they found the man and captured him without difficulty.

The man was Willie Winter.

He was tried, found guilty, and hanged at Newcastle. His body was then brought and hung near the scene of the murder, as was the custom in those days.

Kind-heartedness – But when the boy saw the murderer’s body hanging there he was overcome with misery at having caused the death of a fellow creature.

Saving Life – However, the magistrate sent for him and complimented him on the great good he had done to his fellow countrymen, probably saving some of their lives, by ridding the world of such a dangerous criminal.

Duty – He said: “You have done your duty, although it caused you personally some danger and much distress. Still, you must not mind that. It was your duty to help the police in getting justice done, and duty must always be carried out regardless of how much it costs you, even if you have to give up your life.”

Example – Thus the boy did every part of the duty of a Boy Scout.

He exercised—Woodcraft; Observation without being noticed; Deduction; Chivalry; Sense of Duty; Kindheartedness.

He never thought that the act which he had done would years afterwards be held up as an example to other boys in teaching them to do their duty.

In the same way, you should and remember that your acts may be watched by others after you, and taken as an example too.

So try to do your duty the right way on all occasions.

2. c) Which of the qualities and talents of Robert Hindmarsh do you possess? Which ones would you like to possess? Why?

2 a) Просмотрите глоссарий. Как вы думаете, что происходит на картинке?

Ответ:

In the picture, a boy is observing a tramp who is sitting on the ground and eating. Based on the glossary, which includes words like murder and suspicion, and the caption below the picture, it seems the boy suspects the man of a crime and is carefully observing details like his boots.

Перевод:

На картинке мальчик наблюдает за бродягой, который сидит на земле и ест. Судя по глоссарию, в котором есть такие слова, как убийство и подозрение, и подписи под картинкой, похоже, мальчик подозревает этого человека в преступлении и внимательно изучает детали, такие как его ботинки.

2 b) Прослушайте и прочитайте отрывки из книги. Почему автор поместил эту историю в книгу?

Ответ:

The author included this story to provide a real-life example of the duties of a Boy Scout. The introductory sentence states that the story "shows generally the duties of a Boy Scout", and the text highlights how the boy's actions correspond to specific scout principles like Woodcraft, Observation, Chivalry, and Duty.

Перевод:

Автор включил эту историю, чтобы привести реальный пример обязанностей бойскаута. Во вступительном предложении говорится, что история «в целом показывает обязанности бойскаута», и в тексте подчеркивается, как действия мальчика соответствуют определенным скаутским принципам, таким как следопытство, наблюдательность, рыцарство и долг.

2 c) Какими из качеств и талантов Роберта Хиндмарша вы обладаете? Какими бы вы хотели обладать? Почему?

Ответ:

Robert Hindmarsh possessed qualities such as Observation, Deduction, Chivalry, Pluck and Self-discipline, Kind-heartedness, and a strong sense of Duty. A person might already possess qualities like observation or kind-heartedness. One might aspire to have more Pluck and Self-discipline, because these qualities are essential for facing fears and doing the right thing even when it is difficult or dangerous.

Перевод:

Роберт Хиндмарш обладал такими качествами, как наблюдательность, дедукция, рыцарство, смелость и самодисциплина, добросердечие и сильное чувство долга. Человек может уже обладать такими качествами, как наблюдательность или добросердечие. Можно стремиться к тому, чтобы иметь больше смелости и самодисциплины, потому что эти качества необходимы, чтобы противостоять страхам и поступать правильно, даже когда это трудно или опасно.
