A fractured editor adds a macabre piece about a notorious singer and a man named Nab al. His mind spirals into fear as prescient nightmares afflict him after wine loosens his temper. Susan and John guard him from imagined goblins while the clock and mice provoke his nerves. Conscience proves powerful even for the wicked.
Extrait from Portsmouth dated April 26 reports naval movements and dockyard work.
