The Inseparables three friends share resolutions at a New Year gathering. Each keeps silent about his aims while hints reveal smoking less, avoiding slang, and sacrificing for a fiancé. A Scotch tale warns that even strong vows can backfire, yet they toast the new year together, unsure of each other’s plans.

Bold Confederate river attack against Union ships at Galveston
Confederate forces under General Magruder attempted a daring assault on Federal ships near Galveston harbor. The Bayou City and Neptune engaged the Harriet Lane, delivering devastating blows as Marines and sailors fought from wharf and deck. The Harriet Lane held until a heavy exchange toppled Neptune and left Bayou City entwined with the Lane, while Captain Weir died in the execution of an anticipated New Year’s weapon.
