He has been one of the first to publish a version of what happened. He drew heavily on fact but included significant differences that have since accredited to the real story, not least in calling the ship the Marie, rather than Mary, Celeste. Some journalists even took his account for real.

One day, an old black maid offers him a black oval shaped stone which belonged to her ancestors. At the end of the war, Jephson gets married and establishes himself as a doctor in Brooklyn.
