Dialogue on Boating and Edits in Early Newspaper History
A fragment recalls a bridge conversation between a city editor and Artemus Ward about boating on a navigable stream. Ward questions the stream’s depth and boats while recalling Uncle John and a casual critique of editorial responsibility. The piece also mentions Captain Manson’s bite by a kunk, the risks of hydrophobia, and the heat sensitivity of pathogens, concluding with a humorous burglary anecdote involving an editor.
