Brayne was an atheist or a Mormon or a Christian Scientist; but he was ready to pour money into any intellectual vessel, so long as it was an untried vessel. One of his hobbies was to wait for the American Shakespeare a hobby more patient than angling. He admired Walt Whitman, but thought that Luke P. Tanner, of Paris, Pa., was more "progressive" than Whitman any day.
Viewing the scene of battle strategically, Tanner struck on an idea which was certainly original. Accounts differ as to whether he was the possessor of one hat or several; but tradition would suggest that he had more than one.

Ez I stooped down ter move it back in its place, I seen su'thin' white under it. So I lifted the board, an' thar I see, lyin' on the tan a-top o' the pit, a stiff white paper.
Why, I'd rather have another of our days ashore." "Not you," I said. "But I say, look here, I haven't spoke about it before, but Ching says hi, Tanner, come here!" "That he doesn't," cried Smith. "Hallo! what is it?" said Barkins, whom I had hailed, and he came over from the port side of the deck. "I was going to tell Blacksmith what Ching says. You may as well hear too." "Don't want to.
