Wall of Canvass Hinders Dunraven in Western Day
A poetic fragment recounts Dunraven facing a wall of canvass as rival sailors, the Yankees, block his passage. The speaker laments failed attempts to break through and predicts future races, with Chance and stubborn opposition shaping a stubborn maritime contest. The piece blends nautical imagery with cheeky humor and a later prose vignette comments on generosity and religious giving, ending with Maud Muller’s hay-filled manger scene and a poet’s rake.

Locals say Quantrell Sail Jesg Frank James and the Younger brothers tore through town in June 78, grabbing eight thousand dollars.
