In a fogbound Passamaquoddie coast tale two Rockbegas boys Ab and Milton plot a prank on Benny Bock, the last warrior of Rockhegas. They plan to plant red lobsters in his traps at dawn near Corner Point to scare him, risking exposure as the sea and weather complicate their early-morning setup and retreat.

Fogbound Dory Crisis Averts Steamer Collision
In a treacherous fog off Canser Point, two boys Milt and Ab steer their dory as a fogbound tanker bears down. A great steamer rounds in, strikes the craft amidships, and sinks it. They swim free, pleading for Benny Sock’s rescue as Benny hauls a glowing lobster from a trap.

Railroads and editors quarrel over passes and patronage
A fragmentary editorial rant argues editors and editors’ papers depend on railroad contracts. It claims railroads set reading content via timetables and advertising payments, while passes corrupt officials and managers. The piece cites a New York manager and criticizes interstate commerce laws for enabling old railroad powers. It ends with a harsh social note on life choices and courtesy.
