Gentlemen Convicts Aid Ship on Drift Toward Cayenne
Aboard the Nonesuch bound from Philadelphia to Pernambuco, a series of disasters strikes: two men drown after a whaleboat wreck, the captain and mate are badly stung by a venomous insect, and two discharged sailors join the crew. Convicts from Cayenne, later rescued at sea, assist with the voyage and eventually are landed in Brazilian territory after the storm subsides. The convicts, though violent, cooperate and prove remarkably disciplined before parting.

Webster recalls ten days in the Massachusetts legislature where he lawfully banned trout catching by any means other than hook and line, a symbolic act amid public service. Pickled railroad ties are widely used, with Burlington, Santa Fe, and Southern Pacific plants treating ties with zinc chloride in airtight chambers to extend life.
