A long unreadable parcel sent to Mr Jeremiah Harrington from Ireland passed customs after a steward vouched for it. The package contained a frayed collar, sodden socks, and a thorny blackthorn stick said to be cut and cured by Harrington himself. The exchange reveals Harrington’s pride in an improvised weapon and a colorful harbor scene from the Evening Observer report.
