Brave Fight Off Arabian Pirate Aboard the Swallow
An old seaman recalls a 1940s voyage aboard the British ship Swallow from Bombay to the Persian Gulf. When a two hundred ton Arabian dhow closed, Captain Aldrich’s wife commanded, the crew prepared with muskets and hand grenades, and they fought savage odds as the dhow closed and exploded amid a deadly close clash.

Invention Boosts Bread Buttering For Institutions
A new machine for buttering bread, paired with a patent bread cutter, suits prisons and workhouses. It uses a cylindrical brush fed with butter to lay a thin layer on bread as it exits the cutter, with manual, steam, or electric operation and a capacity of 750 loaves per hour, promising reduced butter use and fewer crumbs. An electric fire detector variant triggers bells when room temperatures rise, signaling danger until cooling resumes.

Fire-Clay Railroad Railing Improvement Filed in Caveat
Adams Hopkins of West Hridge Pennsylvania has filed a caveat for an improvement involving posts and cilivadtes of burned fire-clay. The design uses hard burning posts to secure railing with hail driven into holes, and tie holes to admit bolts with washers and nuts bearing on the rail to hold it firmly in place.
