At the huge Lazarus-Kirche perspiring Pastor Lenkning married them in batches, sent them off rejoicing to a Bohemian brewery where they blew froth with 1,000 wedding guests. Popping up among the brides & bridegrooms, club-footed Dr. Goebbels urged them, all at the top of his lungs to increase & multiply, bestowed on each couple "a picture of myself and family" (i. e. self, wife, daughter & stepson).

With humorous seriousness he retells here, mostly from newspaper sources, scores of gruesome or simply inexplicable incidents, tries to find a place for them in his philosophy. Rabid vampires, with white streaks of froth on their bloody mouths, flitting through the jungles of Trinidad seem to him connected with more human affairs. In 1867 a fishing smack set sail from Boston; among its crew was a Portuguese called James Brown. Two of the crew were missing, were found in the hold. James Brown...
