Fragmented voyage and confessions amid stormy sea tales
A mangled narrative unfolds with nautical imagery of tempests and shrieking winds, then shifts to a first person confession by JOHN B A GOUGH describing an alcohol fueled ordeal, amnesia, and a quest for truth and redemption. The piece includes local notices on horse theft, a dramatic preacher anecdote, and assorted 19th century miscellany.
