The Doctor and the Iron Wreath on the Steam Boat
An eyewitness account from the Civil War era describes a night shift on a government transport ship where a Confederate attacker struck, a fellow engineer saved the boat by knocking the assailant down, and crew members then bailed the vessel while prayers rose for deliverance. The narrative transitions to a temperance anecdote about a man influenced by the sight of tiny shoes and a note on a new telegraph company, with scattered items about the James brothers cave finds and a short verse.
