Stolen Bark Recovered After Pirates’ Bid for Escape
In 1900 a brigantine crew chased a stolen brig across the Pacific after being seized by three Portuguese sailors and a white crewman. The pirates mounted a swift escape, boarding Christmas Island, Enderbury, and Jarvis Island locales, until a final boarding near a bay on Enderbury where a gun battle ended with the thieves killed or captured.

Dream-guided search uncovers Civil War gravesite in 1606
In spring 1606 Jethro Jackson sought his son’s grave at Resaca, guided by a dream that led to a mound marked by pokeberry bushes. An excavation five feet deep revealed a rough pine coffin with remains identified by the shoes and name on the clothing. The tale mirrors an Atlanta Journal feature, Apples at Night, praising uncooked apples as natural medicines and critiquing purgatives.
