Marvels on the Congo voyage a near fatal sea encounter
An account recalls a voyage where a sailor Campbell nearly died after leaping overboard to escape an alligator and a tiger in a dramatic struggle by a Conga shore. The crew fired at the monster, Campbell was saved, abandoned intoxication, and later praised Providence and reform. The tale sits among reports from Columbia South Carolina and New Jersey courts, with political reform news and a brutal Midlletown academy incident.
