All the World at War chapter excerpt in Dorchester
Walter Besant narrative recounts smugglers Dan Gulliver and sons in a Dorchester court with Captain Pollard and Joshua Meech. The trial features dramatic testimony, Brandy kegs, a dancing Polly cargo, and a mercy sentence balancing against political influence and rector Burden’s support. Joshua Meech’s betrayal complicates the smuggling tale and hints at hidden cargo caches beneath the coast.
