The Walker family tale on the Hottin voyage to New York
A passenger ship from Liverpool arrives at New York with Mrs Walker and her 17 year old daughter among a group of travelers. An Irish rebel named Walker, hiding as a political exile, is identified by police and offered safe passage, money, and a warm welcome if he cooperates. Captain Bursley recalls a dramatic reunion as the pair join the voyage, and the story notes their westward departure two days after landing. The piece includes later literary and civic digressions about public virtue and the celebrated figure Daniel Webster, with observations on his Marshfield estate and library.
