Editors Gather At Table Of Noted Journalists Tales
In early days a group of renowned writers and reporters met after work. Ambrose Bierce, Arthur McSwenn, Allan Kell, Ernest Thayer, Ned Townsend, Frank Gestaway, Pelle Bigelow, George Burton and Henry Haxton shared varied experiences. George Bruton told of selling tobacco in the southern states, visiting a camp meeting, the mourners bench, and a comical confession about Lorillard plug tobacco. A subsequent alert from The Examiner about fishermen wrecked near San Francisco spurred a daring rescue attempt by the group using a tugboat.
