A damaged text fragment evokes farewell and time as themes. It weaves disjointed lines about twilight, evening bells, departure, and a voyage, hinting at a somber mood and the idea of moving beyond a familiar shore into the unknown. The source preserves a poetic, slightly archaic tone.
A rambling reminiscence in a London bound railway coach recounts an American traveler, a Briton Tompy, and a wary miner Mike McShane.

An aside notes a separate odd spring in Stonington causing temporary swelling.
