A traveler recalls a eerie portrait that seemed to breathe and haunt him after a visit to a Birmingham colonnade. The image, showing Doctor Mathias, grandfather of the narrator’s friend, stirred rumors of a grim family secret and hinted at a life-altering melancholy after a European tour.
My grandfather recalls a Naples visit where a doctor is pressured by two sinister men to kill a sleeping woman as punishment for a crime. The physician refuses, stating punishment lies with the public beyond his practice, while the men push for swift murder under a secret tribunal. The scene ends with an ominous insistence that the doctor cannot escape their demand.
Presentations were made on Tuesday aboard the screw steamer Indiana at Fuskisson Dock to six seamen for saving ten crew members from the Avena of Sligo in a heavy sea on December 3.
