A French lugger, near the English coast, carried a coffin rather than bury a dying Englishman at sea. The captain consented to burial ashore after a churchyard funeral arranged with a local parson. Excisemen and beach men watched, tears shed by officials, and dawn revealed a desecrated grave with a second coffin found inland in a smugglers’ store containing silks and laces.
A young man recounts his failed effort to grow a business and the strain in a friendship with Jones who he hoped would help. He explains his first horse failed, seeking a replacement for delivery duties and considering the lame animal.
A friend buys and resells a horse for a profit amid a chain of sly bargaining and a later offer of a better animal. The tale ends with a cautionary note on friendship and selling tricks. A joking judge and a quip about mortality add to the miscellany of 19th century humor.
Fragments describe beads as ancient adornment with glass beads from Venice and trade routes to Zanzibar. A tale follows of N. Ingoldsby near Mammoth Arizona discovering the Rat Hole mine after a rat steals items and leaves quartz bearing gold. Notices include United States land filings with names, locations, dates, and witnesses for claims in North Dakota.
