Wary landlady and a sea captain weigh beliefs in hell
An elderly Methodists boarding house keeper in Boston refuses all but the spiritually pure, sparking a humorous exchange with a blunt sea captain about future damnation. The tale shifts to astronomy and artillery notes mentioning Provison Raxpotru on the sun and a Woolwich test of the great Siron gun, then a Lincoln County pioneer returning from French Guinea to Pioche.
