— Appears in: The Australian Journal , January vol. 20 no. 236 1885; (p. 282) The narrator, fearful of ghosts, is scared by a newspaper account of an escaped lunatic but is committed to go out. In his railway carriage he sees a man who assumes the description, they tussle, and he awakes to find himself in a strait jacket. Humorous variation of the madman genre. (PB)

He saves her from drowning but her highborn perfidious suitor takes the credit and is believed, leaving the butcher to find peace in his own sausage mincer.
