Hilarious Mishearings and a Dreadful Deck Accident
A Cleveland shipboard accident tale recounts deck hands loading linseed oil in the hold of the steamer when a hogshead burst loose, striking a Black worker and mangling him. He survives with a scar while mates rally to help as others recoil in shock. An observer’s narration blends local color with brutal accident detail.
