Nightmare on the prairie snowbound voyage cannibal tale ends
A disjointed fragment recounts a snowbound railway car ordeal with hunger and freezing. Passengers debate leadership and survival, elect Harris after days of deprivation, then celebrate a bleak supper and reflect on the strange strangers narrative. The piece blends Byroniana and odd anecdotes with digressions.
