Stormed Fort at Mayapore and Drunken Sailor Hero
The account describes Strachan the drunken sailor leading a night assault to breach and capture Mayapore’s Bougee Fort under Admiral Watson and Colonel Clive. The victory ends with Strachan praised by comrades, then rebuked by the Admiral for disciplinary lapses. Reflections on death and a local note about oil from Nail Creek distillery conclude.
