Pittsburgh Post-Gazette item ('A Hebrew's Strange Story') reporting that a deaf-mute Black man, claiming his home was in South Africa, turned up in Parkersburg, West Virginia, and handed a clothing-store clerk a note written in Hebrew. Hebrew scholar M. A. Kuder was called in as interpreter, became satisfied the man was no impostor, and aided him. The man said he had been induced to engage on a sailing vessel the previous winter, was badly frozen during the voyage, and was put ashore penniless at a southern port; he was on his way to Baltimore, from where he wished to sail for Africa. He was believed and placed in a position to reach home without further hardship. A further independently scraped copy (node 4119) confirms the wording; no additional dating information.
