The Tin Trumpet Incident of 1883 is one of the earliest events described in the Swallows and Amazons series. A toy trumpet belonging to the young Tommy Jolys was trodden on by his sister, and Tommy reacted by "lying on the nursery floor ... howling and kicking," (resulting in his being) "very properly chastised" by his mother (PM29) This incident was witnessed by Maria Turner and described (in 1932) as having occurred 50 years ago (PM29), hence the date of the Incident can be set at 1883.
