Thieving Essex Scrotes nicked mainsail

[dylanwinter]

A friend of ours left his little boat for an hour on the beach at Southend while he went up into the town and when he came back his mainsail was gone having been cut away and stolen during his absence: even the sacred feeling about stealing a vessel's necessary gear being dead among the loafers of those parts.
