What you’re looking at

This page contains story prose from a narrative titled "AT THE TUNNEL'S MOUTH" (visible in the header). The text describes the trial and execution of a man named Tom Brindley, apparently for murder. The passage details how Brindley harbored a grudge against someone named Ryland, and allegedly drowned him in a canal after a confrontation. The narrative explains that the murder occurred at an eastern tunnel of the Banneymouth Canal, where Ryland's body was discovered years later. The prose concludes by noting Brindley's execution and mentions how the crime has haunted Will and Mary's eldest son with lasting psychological terror. There are no illustrations on this page—only double-columned text.
