We have a tender verse from a reader describing a beloved daughter and sweetheart. The poem asks for heavenly guardians and expresses love and longing as night falls. It references a line about Philips Tatro in the Minneapolis Tribune.
Joan Tredgold and Hal Springett defend Teignmouth from French raiders. Joan retrieves the church key, frees terrified townsfolk, and with her father and others braces the tower. A bell crushes attackers, and Hal earns praise as French Pete dies among others. The couple marries in later grateful memories.
A humorous mishearing in New York leads to a tale about a newsboy whose father is the organist of Broadway Tabernacle. The piece also cites a Derbyshire pamphlet misattribution to Franklin and notes on Lilienthal, Bonhomme Richard, and Proctor’s flight prediction.
The Babylon area landmark mill has drawn painters for generations, with its 1751 beam date and atmospheric waters reflecting the structure. Once a gristmill and ship timber site on Islip Babylon boundary, it later became a whip factory under David Ricketts, while the Sompwams Creek area and old stagecoach bridge lore add local romance and historical depth.
