Presented as a manuscript “found among the papers of the late Francis Wayland Thurston, of Boston”. The docments in turn recount Thurston’s discovery of yet more notes, papers left behind by his grand-uncle, a prominent professor of Semitic languages at Brown University. It seems the grand-uncle died suddenly in after being “jostled by a nautical-looking negro.” Strange statuettes and dangerous ocean voyages result.
