A sister laments a long absent brother in a plea of poetry. She longs to send her spirit across the sea and wings to join him, to share thoughts, memories, and the warm fireside where he belongs. The verse evokes home, hearth, and the ache of separation.
A long narrative recounts the 60 year search for Frances Sclocum, seized by Indians near Wilkes-Barre during the Wyoming Valley conflicts. Her siblings, now grown, travel 200 miles to the Miami country and confirm her as Frances, living with a Miami-Delaware family. Frances can no longer speak English or recall dates, yet her family vows to press Congress for land rights and aid. The account ends with reflections on providence and family bonds.
In Parliament Mr O Connell proposed delaying recognition of the Texas state until Mexico consents and slavery is abolished. The piece also covers a forecast of thirteen Atlantic steamships in 1841, with routes from Liverpool Bristol and London to New York and Boston, plus notes on ships like the British Queen and the Presidet. It recounts acts of sympathy after Eastport fire and includes a sensational account of a pirate slaver case with a slave ship encounter off Long Island and a Havana bound Amistad atrocity tale.
