A fragmentary poem excerpt shows Abou Ben Adhem asking the angel to inscribe in a book the names of those who love the Lord. The angel instead writes a list of those who love their fellowmen, prompting a dawn of awakening and a larger embrace of humanity.
The piece recounts 1860s Calabar coast warfare led by Oyampoo of the Adamawa tribe. It details his rapid expansion, capture of a French gunboat, British punitive expedition, river fortifications, and the fall of his capital after a bold, costly defense. Oyampoo later serves under British allegiance before ending in hardship. It also covers anecdotes about Russian Emperor Paul and local curiosities in Savannah, Selkirk, and a marriage inquiry.
A fragmentary account traces ancient Hawaiian baiting of sharks with human flesh for raft hunts, describes the fateful Marie Celeste voyage of 1887 with thirteen aboard vanishing at sea, and notes modern railway strides and a family terror over threats to a child. The items mix maritime mystery, tribal practices, and transport milestones with sensational anecdotes and a rough prose style.
