A long rambling narrative recalls a Caribbean wreck tale with Sandy Potts and Ella the wreckers daughter. The ship runs aground near Florida reefs after a storm, a bargain of gold looms, and romance blossoms as Potts hides the truth while Ella questions the fate of the doomed voyage.
Narrator recalls staying in France to avoid becoming an enemy of a beautiful woman before a trial, then planned another voyage to escape. He notes he has never seen the wrecker's daughter since and jokes about risking a cruise if she treated him badly.
A collage of social snatches and lampooning notes ranges from Lily Langtry's frank quote to a Whitechapel killer’s victim, miscount rumors in election returns, a liberty pole bet in Nyack, a London Standard tale of Julius Caesar, Fanny Davenport’s tour, and Yankee mockery of modern journalism amid amateur baseball chatter.
A Detroit workingwomen society formed a decade ago to aid unemployed girls and secure work has thrived and opened a dedicated building. In New York City, colored women organize the Woman's Charity and Industrial Club and lease a four story home for friendless colored girls. Reports also note elderly deaths and birthdays, legal questions on a widow’s marriage, cattle deaths blamed on witchcraft, and a daring San Francisco burglary ending with a boot-based identification.
A varied selection highlights carving pieces from the lowest priced options to the most expensive. Guaranteed quality accompanies every piece, with offerings designed to fit a wide range of budgets and tastes.
