September 17: A Day of Historical Significance - The Duke of Cornwall embarked on his Canadian Tour, witnessing the scene of Wolfe's Victory. Elsewhere, the Naval Battle of the Yalu unfolded, resulting in the sinking of the Chinese ship, "Chih-Yuen." In the United States, President McKinley's funeral was held, while artists captured sketches off Wei-Hai-Wei in Eastern Asia. The Donati Comet graced the night sky from Greenwich Park, and C Squadron of the 17th Lancers saw action at Modderfontein. Marconi's Wireless Telegraphic Station at Mullion, Cornwall, was wrecked by a gale, and Major Daniel Auchinleck made headlines. And in more recent history, an ozone hole was discovered over Antarctica on this day in September 2001.
