Straits Trials and a Ship Bell Mystery at Torres Strait

A narrative details Torres Strait navigation hazards and island perils, recounting a Coquette voyage past reefs and sandbanks. Sailors hear repeated ship bells as if by spirits, an event linked to later rescue missions and the postoffice of Torres Strait where captains leave notes. The tale shifts to biblical Shechem with Jacob, Joseph and Jeruzalem ties, describing the Plain of Moreh and Jacob's well, ancient sites, and historic reverence.
