Telegraph devices and fruit trees compared in old note

An iglegraphy describes an Austrian instrument that transmits messages at up to 40,000 words per hour by dots and dashes, while the Morse telegraph can send no more than 250 words a minute, with handwriting clarity. The lemon tree is more fruitful than the orange tree in the same note.

Three Lives, One Fateful Cliffside Accident

Gerald Willis, an artist shattered by his wife’s death, travels with his three year old son Nigel. After a fall on a Welsh coast rover, Willis traps his leg in a rock crevice as the tide rises. With Nigel safely kept by him, he weighs the grim choice to signal for help or stay with his son and drown together. The tale ends as the rescue wait begins, leaving the fate of father and son unresolved.
