The firkin features thick staves expanding from a half inch to an inch, a heavy oak bottom forming a conical interior, and is filled with seven stones weighing about two pounds each to occupy space. The scene was witnessed by a buyer and is available for inspection at the office.

It also describes bacon curing using nitre and brine, and a brutal bridal practice involving chained marriages and rich feeding to fatten brides, tied to Macgill's Tunis.
