PURPLE PARA  

ARISBROOKE CASTLE, ISLE OF WIGHT.  

j\| portion of England combines within  

so small space so many tempting  

localities as the Isle of Wight. Its famed  

scenery, united with the freshness of the  

air and softness of its climate, makes it  

at once pleasant, picturesque and beauti-  

ful. It may be added that equally no  

portion of the old land is better known  

or regarded with higher favor by visitors  

from Greater Britain than this “blessed  

spot.” In that battle for “constitutional  

rights” our forefathers waged over so  

many centuries the Isle of Wight figures,  

the Castle of Carisbrooke providing, as  

it were, the memorial. It was in this  

venerable fortalice Charles took refuge  

with its Governor, Colonel Hammond,  

in November, 1647, only too soon to find  

his asylum turned into prison, where  

he remained for 13 months. This castle,  

originally fortress, pleasantly situated  

near the centre of the island, is believed  

to have been built by the Saxons so  

early as the sixth century, and, according  

to the annals, it was besieged by Cedric  

In 530. It was certainly enlarged by Wil-  

liam Fitzosborne, the “first Lord of  

Wight,” in the eleventh century, was  

captured by Stephen in 1136, and during  

the reign of Richard II (1377-1399) suc-  

cessfully withstood siege by the French.  

From this “sanctuary which became  

prison” Charles tried twice to escape.  

Once he failed because the bars of his  

window were too close together; the  

next time, because his intention became  

known, so the guard was doubled. It was  

soon after this second attempt he was re-  

moved as prisoner to Hurst Castle,  

on the mainland, so well known to all  

Australians and New Zealanders who  

have arrived at, or departed from, South-  

ampton. The ruins of Carisbrooke Castle  

are picturesque, and some parts of the  

venerable building are in state of good  

preservation. Other portions have been  

■estored, with degree of success not  

noticeable in all restoration attempts as  

they relate to very ancient buildings.
