Burdoths Fish Story From Mississippi Waters
A fragment recounts a fishing tale near Burlington on the Mississippi River about four miles up, where the narrator hooks a large catfish on a wood rod that breaks. The fish drags the line, chases the teller ashore through a lumber yard, past stubble fields, and into the woods as the narrator, unarmed, climbs to safety.

Relentless fish chased hunter up cottonwood tree
A bizarre scene describes a large cottonwood tree where a persistent fish followed a hunter up a limb. Hunters then shot the fish as it lunged, killing it midair. The fish, nine inches long and about a pound with its clothing, is described in odd terms, ending the tale with its carcass on the ground.

Bulldog and Pork Theft on a Savannah Schooner
A Savannah News account describes a New England schooner at Rice Mill wharf with a fierce bulldog owned by the captain. A local loafer Sam bet his take if he could steal a barrel of pork under the dog’s nose. At sunset Sam claimed the pork with a ruse: two dogs distracted the guard while he slipped the barrel ashore, surprising the captain who paid him and a witness $10 for the tale and the trick.
