Fashionable gowns and costs ignite a Chicago debutante tale
A long, fragmented reminiscence recalls a debutante’s wardrobe splurge and a father’s restraint across Paris gowns and American fashions. The tale pivots to a Chicago riot tied to license enforcement and a dramatic police siege, with fires, arrests, and a military-like show of force as crowds clash with authorities.

Shipwrecked crew reaches safety after cannibal island tale
Aboard the Glenwire from Maryport to Buenos Ayres the crew of sixty six were wrecked off Cape Diego. They battled gale and snow, landed ashore at Flinders Bay, endured frostbite and near starvation, and three weeks later were rescued by a relief steamer. Human remains on Staten Island later stirred eerie local lore.
