Randall Parrish portrays a perilous aboard search as Captain and crew discover a deserted schooner with seven dead men arranged around a set table and a living killer among the crew. A hidden chest boat, a cook’s betrayal, and a cryptic note point to Gaston de Lys as the mastermind behind the deaths.
Captain Hollis and his crew recover a chest of English French and Spanish coin from dead men at sea. They argue over salvage rights while awaiting a maritime court ruling. The money, worth over seven hundred thousand dollars, remains in government custody for two years as a potential rightful owner is sought.
Wax from Carnaubs pant grown in Pinuhy Gear and Rio Grande do Norte is used locally in medicine and for oil housebinding. Its roots fight insects and fibers make rope and paper. The wax, once adulterated by beeswax, is now selling honestly for candle making and insulating coatings. Annual wax output in Rio Grande do Norte runs about 4 percent of a ton valued at $250,000.
An old advertisement urges washing the kidneys by drinking up to eight glasses of water between meals. It promotes a patent remedy named Anurte double strength as a cure for urinary symptoms, claiming it clears channels and offers water sample advice.
A terse, wordplay filled snippet presents a lawyer and a rattled course metaphor. The exchange hints at legal interpretation of terms with a playful jab at how lawyers view every course as arguable. The fragment reads like a witty aside from a courtroom or debate scene.
Fragmentary text indicates references to Rabat, a state attack, a meeting in Revere, and possible mentions of Cheney and Co Toledo. Details are unclear with many garbled words and missing context.
A quartet of convicts in a discussion about their crimes reveals one claimed not to shoot anyone, another spoke of misusing a name tag, a third planned multiple marriages, and a fourth, labeled parson, offered a vague answer. The parson explains a church fund was raised and handed to him to build, but the project was not completed.
A humorous exchange asks why a young, inexperienced person is dubbed a wag, suggesting the nickname stems from a ready, joking tongue. The line plays on dialect and bluster to hint at streetwise cleverness.
