Advent Calendar - Day 4 - The Essex Connection

[esteven]

Today Justincase’s gift to the calendar is an oakum from a recent reading page discussion about why Clarissa was transported. The first writing disappeared in my computer, and I have tried to recreate it as best I could. Perhaps the muse was unhappy with that iteration.
George Caley. I liked the name; he had been in Australia, and he was a friend

That's most ingenious and certainly a very apt explanation!

Thanks for sharing your ideas.

Happy Advent!

I do like Oakum stories too. So kind of O'Brian to leave a few bits and pieces for his readers to puzzle out.

And to you too!

It owes its existence to an exchange on the read between Esteven and Darien, a cold evening and a bottle of wine.

Thank you. A Happy Advent to you also!
