New Jersey grocer visits Philadelphia docks amid odd incident
A New Jersey grocer John Tice arrives in Philadelphia with stock to ships. While awaiting loading a satirical scene unfolds at the wharf as two young men prod him to try snuff and a strange exchange ensues. A lengthy tale follows about maritime exploits, a remarkable woman, and a near-mystical discovery. The piece weaves odd anecdotes with wartime reflections and local sensationalism.
