Frights and Fortunes at Sea and in Lane Mills
A long and wandering tale runs through this page, mixing a shark story with moral reflections and public notices. It recounts a harrowing shark encounter on Faulkner’s Island, then shifts to Yale humor, a Mississippi tragedy piece, and a lengthy critique of British slave trade policy, all blending 19th century newspaper miscellany in a single column.
