Sam Slick’s London Inn Bed Tale and Oddities
A chunk of humorous voyage sketches begins with Sam Slick recounting a London inn misadventure where he shares a bed with a snoring Englishman, causing comic fear and a possible mid‑night clash. It moves to eccentric notes on paving streets with India-rubber, crop yields, Berkshire hog debates, and reflections on life’s repetitive stages.
