Sailor wit and temperance clash in odd Ann Arbor scene
In Ann Arbor a sudden fainting episode leads to a quip about old rye and a temperance lecturer. A shoemaker’s son, youthful Artemus, and a tense exchange reveal frontier humor and local propriety. The piece also notes contraband labor in Washington and a naval joke about the sanded deck before battle.
