Notable readings include 6083 lbs sq ft at Skerrymore Lighthouse in 1845 and 3013 lbs sq ft in the Atlantic. Belt Rock Lighthouse water rise reached 106 feet during a heavy swell, implying near three tons per square foot forces.

Writings on thefts and uprisings across regions
A blend of criminal tales from the Cairo Sun style report describes wagon laborers pilfering a merchant box, a bolt of cloth, and a stash of five hundred dollars. An exultant thief claims many in the US pursue similar schemes while authorities confront two accomplices and a key witness. It also details a Boone county tale of a land island gang of thieves and counterfeiters with armed guards and horses, plus a Brighton Market note on a store break in and retailer product lines and prices.
