Workers frantically rushed records and goods to upper floors or slogged for home. As plate-glass windows gave way, leaving rich stores open for looting, 1,500 National Guardsmen marched into the district, threw a khaki line from end to end of Grant Street, the Triangle's base. Up & up surged the dirty water until the marquees of stores and theatres were barely visible, and rowboats were bobbing over...

But that autumn the Cap'n sold enough of his remaining heirlooms to spruce up the place, put out regal hospitality for the rich neighboring Sandhill Hunt. That day might have ended our fox's career had not Author Harriss, no friend to sentimental reprieves, pronounced for once a stay of sentence...
