A Troubled Night at the Sea Parish Ends in Rescue
In a stormy autumn night at a seaside parish rector John Fergusson despatches his wife Kate and faces a robbery plot. Burglars seize their savings hidden in a drawer and threaten family, while Kate's quick thinking traps them in a church oratory as her husband races to Fordham to summon help. George Fergusson aids in a dramatic late rescue, and the tale closes with renewed family bonds and a reconciled household.
