Salt-cliff cavern escape ends with brother’s fate revealed
A miner recalls a Sunday in a salt cave where a fall trapped him. He uses an oxshoe as a tool to widen a crack, freeing himself after hours of pain and thirst. He finds his dead brother Henry J L in a salt-strewn chamber, then escapes with others as dawn breaks and the mound of rock is breached.

Fragmented reminiscence and tales from a New Jersey hotel
The piece collects disjoint anecdotes from a night in a hotel room, detailing a masked stranger’s description of another guest, shifting voices in the next room, and comic misreadings about a talker’s appearance. It blends fragments of conversations, fringe journalism, and memory tips with scattered reflections on law, advertising, and daily life.
