...Captain Hook." Merrick's waves come in all sizes. The tsunami is terrifying. Says a man who survived it: "He is convulsed. He goes purple. The vein in his forehead stands up three-eighths of an inch. And the hatred in his eyes!" He cuts up his victim "with a tongue you could shave with." He fires people left and right. Sometimes he even throws things. Sometimes people throw things back.

Foxe reports one execution in which a woman was forced to set fire to her own father, and others where the wood was green and burned so slowly that the victim, as in the case of Bishop John Hooper, was still conscious: "He was black in the mouth, and his tongue swoln that he could not speak, his lips shrunk to the gums; and he knocked his breast with his hands until one of his arms fell off, what time...
